A Different Shade of Art Director

The Art Director for our upcoming 2013 publication of Scrimshaw is Ms. Haley Hester. She is one our finest Art majors and soon-to-be web design minors; her main emphasis is Graphic Design. It is her ambition to work in Orlando, Florida pursuing a career in Graphic Arts. This lovely art character spends a great deal of her time working in Bessie Mead Hall on her lively projects. One such project was her life-sized mousetrap –for humans –that she put herself in for the presentation. Another of her fascinating art projects was her R2D2 costume, which she designed out of cardboard, that she wore with her other Star Wars buddies. Those are just some ways that she is involved with her art. An interesting thing about Haley is that she is a color blind artist. She can see colors, but not necessarily the same ways that everyone else can, which certainly makes her work a little harder. When she is not taking trips with the Art Club, she is relaxing with her favorite sports team, playing on her computer, or hanging out with her fellow Parrots.

Haley is a seasoned Scrimshaw worker and this will be her second year working on the design aspect. In 2012, she was in the Typography class that put it all together. On the topic of the impending publication, she says: “I am a former designer of the 2012 Scrimshaw and loved the involvement that I had in it so I was ecstatic when she notified me that I had been chosen as the Art Director for the 2013 Scrimshaw. As Art Director my job is to supervise and unify the vision of Scrimshaw.” She also understands the difficult task that is ahead of her with the theme of “Mythical Sea Creatures.” She conveys this by stating:

“When I was notified that this year’s theme would be "Mythical Sea Creatures" I was both excited and fearful. ‘Mythical Sea Creatures’ are a very difficult thing to convey visually because people have very different visions of what exactly those are, but I am confident that the very talented designers this year can make you rethink ‘Mythical Sea Creatures’ and make Scrimshaw something that will turn heads.”
Her confidence has certainly made this seem like a very feasible task. I know that everyone is anticipating what this year’s design team will do. Haley and her Typography class hold the fate of the publication in their deft hands. They will certainly turn heads when the magic box of Scrimshaws appear on campus –and subsequently disappear on J-Day. Aren’t we all just counting the days?

The Venerable Ms. Anne Kirtley

The founder of the Scrimshaw Club, Ms. Anne Kirtley, is an incredible and mysterious figure in Judson's history. She encouraged her students to write and helped bring the Scrimshander (as it was then called) to great success. What greater sense of accomplishment comes from any student than saying, "I have been published!" to her family and friends? Ms. Kirtley gave this to her students and more year after year. In fact, it was this lovely lady's wish to have the Scrimshanderprinted almost as often as the beloved Triangle. When we lost her, there was a true loss of spirit on campus and we later lost the Scrimshanderwith that spirit.

Rebecca Case, Madame Editor

The Editor of Scrimshaw –or as she prefers Madame Editor—is Ms. Rebecca Case for the 2013 release of the publication. She is ambitiously pursuing a double major in Art and English with minors in Business and Web Design.  This is quite a wallop for an editor. Rebecca is dedicated to her life here at Judson as a member of several clubs: Art, Business, English, Quiz Bowl, SGA, and Spanish. She stays busy here on campus, and one may often find her in the Bessie Mead art building hard at work. It is her hope to become involved in the production side of the burgeoning video game industry. While there was an interruption in her time at Judson College, she has spared no time in getting her bearing back and charging ahead.
