EVAN WU University of South Carolina

CNBAM 2014

LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION January 15, 2014 Dear CNBAM Judges: It is my great pleasure to nominate Evan Wu for CNBAM’s Best Designer of 2013. Along with his excellent body of work, I hope to convey that his talent and attitude make him an excellent candidate for this award. Evan has been involved with Student Media as a designer since January of 2013 and I can’t wait to see his final portfolio before he graduates in May. In the 6 months that I have had the privilege to watch Evan work, he has been one of the most dependable and genuine student designers I have ever met. Consistency to deliver well-balanced and widely appealing visual messages attributes to the success of having stand-out work in every advertising outlet we have at the Daily Gamecock. His attention to detail and thoughtful blending of image and word, (sometimes motion as well) has been showcased through printed newspaper ads, coupons, sales fliers, promotional campaigns and animated web advertisements. What delights me most about Evan’s work is his flexibility: his cleverly illustrated advertisements can command attention to a small laundromat and also bring refinement to an ad as crass as a bar holding auditions for ‘kilt girls’. Subtlety is difficult to achieve in design, yet this student is well on his way to mastering it. Admittedly, it was my own personal goal to push this wallflower designer out of his comfort zone by encouraging him to take on tasks he had been hesitant to take before. Evan, in turn, has come to welcome difficult projects and clients. As a manager, it puts me at ease knowing that even our busiest days in Student Media will be handled with care with Evan on our team. Unlike most senior-level graphic designers, Evan’s attitude is refreshingly modest. He approaches each project with quiet dignity and humility - always noting that even his best work should be attributed to the collected talent of his fellow artists in Student Media who inspire and encourage him. He would be the last person to tell you that he is worthy of this honor, but let me be the first to let you know that his talent and commitment to excellence in his field deserve recognition. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely,

Degan Cheek Production Manager, Student Media, University of South Carolina

LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION January 14th, 2014 Dear CNBAM Judges, I am pleased to nominate Evan Wu for the CNBAM Designer of the Year. Evan has worked in the Creative Services Department for The Daily Gamecock since January 2013 and has been a tremendous asset to our team. Evan is an incredibly dedicated member of our design staff and has worked on a variety of projects during his time here. His keen eye for detail and creative style has been instrumental in the success of our department. His versatility and ability to take an oftentimes-vague idea from concept to creative has made him a go to designer. Evan has a calm demeanor and pleasant attitude, one that is especially appreciated during the stress that can come with daily deadlines. On numerous occasions I have seen him handle last minute requests that have called on him to create something very quickly with little to work with. His is an innovative designer who has the ability to work impressively on deadline. In closing, I would like to say that in Evanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s short time with us, he has produced an impressive body of work. He has been a joy to have on our team and I know that he has a bright future ahead of him. National recognition for Evan would be a wonderful way for him to finish his time in Student Media. Thank you for your consideration.

I think overall, people are enticed by the colors in general, but I like telling the story. I think a lot of people are like, ‘Oh, it’s about carvings or color,’ but I think of it as pathways and more of like a spiritual awakening for me.” Gwyn Marie Penvoka-Jones, artist at Tapp’s Art Center

OSCAR• Continued from A5 Best Supporting Actor — James Franco for “Spring Breakers” “Spring Breakers” is the damnedest film of the year. It is juvenile, repetitive and obnox ious but also hilarious, beautifully shot and quite disturbing. It really does get at something dark about this generation’s youth. The wildest thing in Harmony Korine’s latest attack on taste and respectable filmmaking is James Franco’s whackedout performance as A lien, a rapper with cornrows and grills in his teeth. The performance, like the film, is alternately grating and funny, pathetic and malevolent. Werner Herzog said that the film is “the most important film of the decade” and that Franco’s performance makes Robert De Niro’s Travis Bickle in “Taxi Driver” “look like a kindergartener.” Franco gives one of the best performances of his career in “Spring Breakers.” Best Supporting Actress — Emma Watson for “The Bling Ring” “The Bling Ring” is the best horror film of the last five years. The film is not actually a horror film, but it did what good horror films are supposed to do — disgust, shock, and disturb — and it did it better than any real entry in the genre in recent years. The characters

are mind-numbingly stupid and vapid, none more so than Emma Watson’s character, Nicki. Like Alien, Nicki is both hilarious and terrifying. Knowing the film is based on a true story and Nicki is a real person makes it just that much more absurd and unbelievable. The film got mixed reviews and came out early in the year, and comedies rarely get nominated. So the chances of her being nominated are non-existent. Best Direc tor — Joshua Oppenheimer for “The Act of Killing” A doc u ment ar y has never been nominated for Best Picture or Best Director in the history of the Academy Awards, but the academy should go out on a limb and nominate Joshua Oppenheimer for his extraordinary documentary. In “The Act of Killing,” Oppenheimer convinced Indonesian murderers, who were never arrested for their war crimes, to restage and reenact their atrocities in the style of different film genres. There has never been a documentary quite like it. By revisiting their crimes in such an outrageous fashion, he holds a mirror up to the men who have been blind to their own evil for half a century. The results are astounding, and he should be rewarded for making such a daring, thoughprovoking film. DG

Annual event brings Carolina, Clemson chapters together Davis Klabo

NEWS@DAILYGAMECOCK.COM

One hundred and thirty-eight miles from Clemson seemed a bit shorter last week as t he Sout h Ca rol i na and Clemson chapters of Sigma Nu fraternity fi nished their 37th annual Game Ball Run as part of a run-up to next week’s football game. The event, which this year benefited t he Cy st ic Fibrosis Fou ndat ion, started Thursday night at 5 p.m. as Clemson’s chapter began running the ball to a midway point in Greenwood, South Carolina. Baker M ills, t hird-year biolog y student and Sigma Nu’s philanthropy cha ir ma n, played a large par t i n organizing t his year’s r un, which for USC’s brothers started at 2 a.m. Friday after a meeting with Clemson’s members at a Greenwood Huddle House restaurant. “A t t he b eg i n n i n g of t he r u n everybody wants to get out and run

How added that without the center, things could be much worse

for the children and many would go unheard. “The art project can be a helpful exercise, but the biggest difficulty for abused children is getting them to admit to their abuse or getting an elder to believe them,” How said. “The center is a place for them to feel safe and have someone to listen to them so they can tell part of their story.”

Sigma Nu runs ball 138 miles

pictures will be printed on jars, and people can vote for their favorite beard by putting spare change in those jars, a la penny wars. People can help their favorites and sabotage others by putting dollar bills in the jars of ot her compet itors, which count as negative points. Brothers of Beta Theta Pi and members of Colleges Against Cancer will also be on Greene Street, advocating for prostate cancer awareness and motivating people to vote. Lora Stea r ns, a t h i rd-yea r environmental science student and overall director of Relay for Life, sa id a l l t he money r a ised f rom that event will be donated to the American Cancer Society through Beta Theta Pi’s Relay for Life team. “This is our second year doing it, and this year has already been so

and see how hard they can run,” said Mills. “But three hours later, you look back and see that everyone is asleep — until you can wake people back up you’ve only got about five runners still ready to go.” The brot hers were escor ted by USC’s Division of Law Enforcement and Safety all the way through their long trek, with most runners only making it a few miles before switching off to fresher legs. “Every year we have guys who will talk about how they’ll run 15 miles,” said M ills. “There was act ually a Sigma Nu at Clemson who ran it, like, 14 miles straight and we had a bunch of guys talk about how they were going to beat it. “So we made a little competition out of it, and I think we had one guy make it a bit over 10 miles, but he was pretty much dead after that.” O vera l l, t he r iva l r y bet ween Clemson and USC was momentarily set aside in favor of mut ual brot herhood in t he name of philanthropy. “We always like to talk a bunch of smack about the football teams, but we are good friends so it’s really much more successful compared to last,” Stearns said. A lt hough on ly about 11 ha ir y people are officially competing, the tradition of facial hair is spreading across campus. For second-year international business student Matt Calcagno, No-Shave-Ember gives him the opportunity to see how his beard will grow out. “I am not shaving just to see what I look like with facial hair. The longest I’ve ever gone without shaving is about a week and now it’s been over three,” Calcagno said. “I can’t wait to see the look on my mom’s face when she sees it and probably immediately shaves it off herself.” Calcag no sa id h is beard is start ing to get itchy, patchy and “embarrassing,” so he doesn’t know if he’l l be able to ma i nt a i n h is bushiness until December. John Grzymalski, a second-year

just a fun competition between us,” Mills said. “It’s fun to get together for something like this, and it brings the two schools together.” The move to benefit cystic fibrosis research over the last year’s focus on multiple sclerosis stemmed from two Sigma Nu members who have a brother diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. The immediacy of the disease’s impact on the fraternity brought a sense of closeness to the event, which, for the fi rst time, included alumni observers, some of whom even volunteered to help run. “ We saw it a s a c h a nce to do somet hing good closer to home,” Mills said. “It was a chance to get involved with a charity that meant a lot to us — to support them and still be involved with a good cause ... Sometimes these events just seem kind of common for us, so it’s cool to actually see that we’re making a difference in people’s lives. I think it was special to know that we could do something to help them, and to do our part, even if it was just a small part, in this huge fight against CF.” DG

criminal justice major, has also put down his razor for the month. He said he was interested in facial hair after Boston Red Sox players donned beards during the World Series this past year and wanted to see if he could grow his own. “ I h aven’t b een able to do it before because of wrestling in high school and work dress restrictions,” Grzymalski said. “I plan to last until December because I don’t have much of a reason not to.” Chase G osset t , a fou r t h-yea r marketing and management student, is helping to organize the event on behalf of Beta Theta Pi as t heir Relay for Life captain. He says most of the chapter has been involved with the fundraising because they are passionate about battling cancer. “A lot of the brothers are really passionate about Relay for Life and fighting cancer, and it really

The comprehensive permanent improvement plan introduced multiple planned projects that the board will have to vote on in the future. Those include a $30.5 million renovat ion of Bates West , which will add about 600 beds, Gruner said; a $25 million renovation of the Law Center t hat includes a “laborator y redevelopment;” and a $125 million redevelopment of the Ca rol i na Col iseu m.

shows t hrough t heir support for fundraisers like this,” Gossett said. “When it comes to college guys and fundraising, the simpler ideas (like not shaving for a few weeks) always seem to be the better ones.” Gossett is also looking forward to Saturday’s event and believes it will be a success. “A s of now, I am not sure how many dollars will be donated as a part of No-Shave-Ember, but I can say that each dollar donated to the A merican Cancer Societ y has an extremely profound impact on the search for a cure and in support of patients, survivors and caregivers. I would love to see the event continue to grow like it did last year,” Gossett said.
