Return of the CD Grads

C.D. stands for Communication Design. I say C.D. so often I forget it is jargon used at Kutztown U, not everywhere. One of our annual events is the David Bullock Return of the CD Grads. This year we have two Renaissance men coming to campus to share their art and design. If you are in Kutztown come see them, if not, well, click the links below.  Jeremy is an Art Director at Red Tettemer. Greg is currently an Associate Creative Director at 160over90, both uber hip Philadelphia-based design firms.

JEREMY GILBERTO

Jeremy Gilberto writes: “I’ve given a good part of myself to advertising (not just time -it takes its toll). I graduated in 2010 and have since lived in two cities, been employed by two agencies and have had two very different experiences. In the past four years I’ve worked on about every type of client you can imagine, from those that will probably kill you, to ones that are used to clean you.

When I’m not busy pushing pixels and making ads I’m busy pushing a stroller and being a dad. Occasionally, I’ll take a break from advertising and use my creative eye to take the cutest darn baby pictures I can. When I grow up I’d like to be an astronaut, but I probably should have made that decision earlier on in my life. Check me out here.

GREG CHRISTMAN

I wrote a post about Greg Christman when he came to visit in 2012.

Greg Christman is a designer, illustrator, typographer, husband, dad and cat blogger. He is currently writing this bio in the third person. Since 2007, he’s worked on Ferrari, Sailor Jerry Rum, Prince Tennis, Versus TV, ECCO Shoes, Tullamore Dew Whiskey, Hendricks Gin, The Philadelphia Eagles, countless bands, AAA, Mars Drinks, New Balance, Spike TV, US Open, and a ton more that he can’t remember because his wife isn’t here to remind him.

His cat blog has been featured on Comedy Central’s Adult Swim, BBC Comedy, and tweeted by countless celebrities. His design career is jealous of his cat blog.

Jeremy and Greg are both remarkable talents. I grabbed some of their illustrative work from their web sites, but they are great designers, too. The RETURN of the CD Grads is Thursday, October 16  4:30 p.m – 6:00 p.m. in KU’s SUB Alumni Auditorium. Shout Out to Prof. Elaine Cunfer who does the nearly thankless job (THANKS!) of creating the Return of the CD Grads every year.
