Rosalia Takes a Tour

Posted by Rick Hosmer on July 21 2010| 0 Comments

We often receive requests from area high school and university instructors wanting to have their marketing classes tour our offices and have a Q&A time with us. We most always say "yes" to these requests, because we remember (oh so long ago) when our own college classes toured local agencies and design firms. We learned a lot then and want to extend that opportunity to current students.

This spring, an art class from Rosalia High School made a trip to Spokane for a tour. This class is special, as it is taught by Fern Feenan, the mother of Lorri Johnston, one of our art directors.

Darin and Lorri hosted the tour of 30 students (which, by the way, is about 50% of Rosalia's high school enrollment!) The students learned about careers in graphic design and viewed the artwork of Tim Lord, which is prominently displayed in our offices.

When they returned back to school, Fern Feenan had her students create thank you cards to send to us. They used cut paper, colored pencils, watercolor and laser printed lettering to make their own custom cards. The thank you cards were very creative and appreciated by our staff.

Lorri's mom taught her own daughter when Lorri was in high school. That art foundation served Lorri well as she continued her education at the Art Institute of Seattle, and after graduation during a successful career in Seattle before moving to Spokane and joining Klündt | Hosmer.
