#The50 Things Every Creative Should Know Things Every Creative Should Know - a fully-Tweetable primer for creative students and graduates-to-be.

Hello NJCU students and/or alums:

I'd like to offer you an opportunity to have the WJM CAS promote more of your artwork...

The College of Arts and Sciences is looking to promote student and alumni work revolving around the coming Presidential Election. Please let me know if you would be interested in creating a poster to "Get Out the VOTE" (or "Rock the VOTE" or whatever similar message you would like to use) We are not looking to promote one particular party or candidate over another, instead we are looking to promote student action by VOTING.

Please let me know if you would be interested?

I would need finished art (replete with any copy included) by the first week of September.
The size is 11x17
no limit on color

We would love to have a huge show of work...

Please also share this with others?

What say you?

Ella
