Hello, fellow royalty,
I’m Jake, the new intern. Tim asked me to throw this blog together today so that the Order has something to write on beyond BaseCamp. It seems that social networking is increasingly a part of everything, everywhere, so here we are, following suit.
About me: I’m going to be here all summer, but normally I live in Milwaukee. When I’m not there I go to school at RISD, where I study graphic design. The first project I’ll be working on is for Cabrini Connections/Tutor-Mentor Connection, a nonprofit group headed by Dan Bassill. The groups’ missions, as I understand them so far, are to prevent impoverished Chicago kids from making criminal choices by showing them the value of education. Currently, this is done through a Gordian knot of webpages, maps, and flowcharts. Careful information design will be the sword here.
I look forward to meeting you all! I’ll add everyone else as authors soon so that I’m not the only one who can post here.
And now, an animated .gif:
Happy Monday,
Jake
Welcome, Jake! Look forward to working with you at some point while you’re here.
