TGIS Press Release
TGIS (This Group Is Sketch) is preparing for its Go/No-Go presentation, to be held March 5th at 12:30 in the afternoon. In attendance will be sponsors of the group, Ronald Glotzbach and Jim Sprinkles, as well as head of the 411 class, Professor Burton. The group, composed of members Stephanie Lewis, Ryan Hicks, Matt Milligan, and Neil Ahrendt, has begun initial preparations to further enhance a social networking tool pioneered by former 411 team, Scribble Studios. CGTConnect, an online portal for linking together current and past CGT students, has been well adopted but does not effectively retain users. The group plans to introduce an online portfolio-review option as a way to engage users and add utility to the site. The group is prospectively researching how being online would affect one person’s review of a student’s portfolio, as compared with an in-person review. They are also researching what criteria are used to form an objective review of graphic work. Further materials about the group can be found online at tgis411.com. They would also like to extend an invitation to any members of Scribble Studios as well as Industrial Advisory Board member Chris Korab.
