University of Nebraska - New Frontiers Publication



During the winter months, as weddings are fewer, we will sometimes work closely with businesses or educational organizations to help provide them with signature imagery for campaigns and publications. About a month ago the University of Nebraska Kearney Commissioned us to provide imagery for their most recent publication of New Frontiers. This magazine features some of the brightest minds within the University and those professors who are at the top of their fields in creation, research or science. We were extremely impressed with some of the things that are coming from this University - from scientific discoveries to amazing cutting edge design and artwork - that we had the desire to share it with you.

One of my favorite session was with Victoria Goro-Rapoport. She was actually a past professor of mine and her amazing work never fails to impress me. Her work is so detailed that she creates it with the help of a magnifying glass. The finished pieces easily exceed 30" in size. The magnitude of her work is hard to fully comprehend until you see it. So, I've attached two images below. The first shows what we see with the naked eye, the second what you see through the magnifying glass.



She draws out a sketch of the image she wants to create before she begin the etching...




The following is more of a sneak-peak into the sessions. Below is UNK's Chancellor and former Nerbaska State Senator, Doug Kristensen and Dr. Greg Brown who is researching the health benefits of Wii boxing.






The sessions and articles also included author Kate Benzel and her research on modern American writer Carl Sandburg, Dr. Kimberly Carlson, for her research with fruit flies and the AIDS virus, and Dr. Jeanne Stolzer for her research concerning the diagnosing of young boys with ADHD.
