On February 23, Flagler College graphic design students, many decked out in ’80s attire for the “Ready to Rock” theme, brought home 24 prestigious gold and silver ADDYs at the Jacksonville American Advertising Federation’s ADDY Awards creative competition.

This is the second year Flagler students have entered the competition and industry professionals witnessed the “avalanche of Flagler victories” that night, according to graphic design assistant professor Randy Taylor. The only other college entered in the student categories was University of North Florida.

Senior Gareth Cox developed a passion for directing, cinematography and photography during his junior year of high school.

Being as visually oriented as he is, Cox got involved in a 30-minute, low-budget short film as production assistant and first assistant camera. This was the beginning of his filmmaking career.

“Film making and still photography is my life, from wake up to sleep,” Cox said. “You can even ask my fiancé about that.”

SimpleAd.com is a Web site created by Daniel Johnson, a 2006 alumnus, to provide free classifieds for jobs, resumes, housing, vehicles, personals, and pets, items for sale, services, and community.

Johnson launched the site at the beginning of 2007, but had started working on his idea immediately following graduation. Although the Web site is open to anyone, he originally invented it with college students in mind.

The official date of the grand opening has not yet been decided. It is estimated that once a donation has been made for naming rights the ceremony will happen sometime shortly after the students return in the fall.

“The exact date is hard to pin down,” Dean of Student Services Daniel Stewart said. “The last we heard was the middle of June when the furniture will be delivered.”

Flagler student does not let being deaf hold him back from anything

Being deaf is part of who Andy Sherwood is. However, deafness does not define him. His dreams, projects and goals do.

“The media doesn’t include deaf culture,” he said. “Only people who are in contact with deaf people are aware.”

Sherwood is a communication major focusing on public relations. He also loves filmmaking and plans to use his personal experience and knowledge to make films and documentaries about the deaf culture.

The Flagler students have done everything from SWAT team training to checking on sexual predators to booking people at the jail.

The usual internship doesn’t deal with DUIs, domestic disputes or sexual predators, but Ashley May and Audra Leis weren’t looking for “usual” when they chose their internships.
