Local College Announces Spring Partnership with WVIA

King’s College (Wilkes-Barre PA) Mass Communications department announced a partnership with WVIA to begin in Spring 2009. The Parente-King’s Media Fund for Excellence will give King’s College Communication and design students the opportunity to work and train at WVIA while still in school.

Top communications students (2 per semester) will have the privilege of working with experienced media executives in a hands-on environment. Mentoring opportunities will also be available.

Film students will have the opportunity to participate in the “filmmaker-in-residence” program, and radio students will be able to apply for a 2 semester radio host internship.

WVIA is also giving King’s design, communication, and media students access to a high definition studio. The studio will be used for workshops and to aid in a semester-long campaign to help promote WVIA. Workshops in the studio will teach the students about television and radio programming.

This is a great opportunity in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area for any student interested in design, film and communications. For more information on the programs nad the Mass Communications department at King’s College, visit their website at www.kings.edu

New Clients Means Inspiration and Innovation

Greetings From Scranton Pennsylvania,

I’m just checking in because it’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything. There are lots of great things happening at Bullzeye Design. We have a few more clients to add to the Bullzeye family and I can’t wait to introduce you to them.

First, we are currently working on a website design for a jewelry company called SH Zell & Sons.The business is definitely more masculine than feminine and 47th Street, where they are located, is much more fast paced, no bullshit type of area (unless you are a tourist and don’t know who you are talking to!). The Zells are unique in that they really spend a lot of time with their clients in a casual, no pressure way. The initial website concepts are complete so look for some updates in the future regarding their official website launch!

Secondly we’ve been working with a local original band called The Five Percent with some poster designs to promote their shows in the area. We’re also planning to help with a website redesign in the near future which I, personally, cannot be more excited about! Being a fan of the music and working with a group of wonderful guys… what more can you ask for?

Lastly (for now), I’ve recently met an amazingly talented photographer from the Las Angeles area who stumbled upon Bullzeye Design and became immediately interested in working with us to develop a website along with several full screen flash galleries to display her work. Enter: HollyPhotographie.com; our newest project. So far things are going great. Get ready for some wildly creative design here! Music, animation, and breathtaking photography will unite as the minds of two talented and fearless women join forces to produce an amazing final product.

More to come in the near future – hope all is well with our friends, family, and supporters. We’d love to hear from you so don’t hesitate to drop us an email: contact@bullzeyedesign.com

Bullzeye Design helps 11:11 A.M. Cancer Research Project

Bullzeye Design of Scranton, Pennsylvania is now supporting 11:11 A.M. by donating our time to help them with their graphic and web design needs. We’ll be creating several animated banners and updating their Myspace page design.

11:11 A.M. is a cause supporting Andrew McMahon, from the bands Jack’s Mannequin and Something Corporate. On June 1, 2005, he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphatic Leukemia (ALL). In support of him and those with the illness, they sell 11:11 A.M. bracelets to gather supporters as well as send donations to the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation.

With Andrew being diagnosed with Acute Lymphatic Leukemia, they have created the orange bracelet “11:11 A.M.” 11:11 is a rather cliche’d excerpt taken from the Something Corporate song, Konstantine. The lyrics read, “I always catch the clock, it’s 11:11…” 11:11 is believed to be the time to make a wish, as all the numbers are 1’s. Some say it only works in the morning, because in 24 hour mode 11 PM is actually 23:00. Although we are making out wishes at 11:11 A.M, A.M. stands for Andrew McMahon, in this case.

ALL profits will go to Andrew’s choice charity, the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation. The cost of each bracelet is $4. They are also accepting donations to keep this charity running smoothly. You will recieve a free bracelet with donations of $10 or more. Click here to donate or purchase your 11:11 A.M. bracelet today.
