Any digital press manufactures out there that might consider partnering with a university on a national print project? The goals would be to strengthen awareness of graphic communications and digital print through the promotion of art and literacy.
Since 2000, I have developed a bookmark project that has done the following:
• Introduced elementary children to graphic communications.
• Utilizes their artwork for the production of bookmarks.
• Promoted literacy in young people .
• Provided a “real life” assignment for my graphic students who assemble the bookmarks.
• Provides a service to the State Libraries of Indiana and Ohio that received the bookmarks (over 500,000 since 2000)
• Promote graphic communications to the nation as the bookmarks are distributed during the National Book Festival in Washington D.C.
I want to start a dialog with the digital press manufactures who might like to learn more about this project. It would be a wonderful opportunity to be supportive of two vital aspects of our industry, art and literacy.
No pressure; I just want to discuss the possibilities.
