SILSSA weary of wearing same shabby dress

 

Please submit your logo designs and letter of interest for the web designer position!

SILSSA, the School of Information and Library Science Student Association, a division of ALA, is rebranding itself! Our first goal is to design new logo that encapsulates our “Next-Gen Librarian” status within our academic context at Pratt Institute. Our second goal is to redesign our website (http://pratt.edu/~silssa) using that new logo and incorporating the web standards that govern the Information Architecture industry today.

The Logo Contest

Please submit 1 or more logos to silssa <at> pratt.edu by Sunday, October 21, 11:59pm. We will accept 300dpi jpeg submissions containing three versions of your design in black, white and color. Please incorporate Pratt’s colors of yellow and black for this logo and name it “[your name]_silssalogo.jpg”. Should your design win the contest, we will request outlined, vector versions of each color iteration. Our October General SILSSA meeting (to be announced) will include a voting session for all the logos we receive for the contest. All SILS students are invited and encouraged to contribute their vote to this endeavor!The winning logo will be implemented into the new web site and all communications thenceforth. The winning designer will receive kudos, Pratt fame, and 2 tickets to a BAM performance.

The Website Redesign

SILSSA is looking for a uniquely qualified SILS student to redesign and maintain our website. We seek to make our website an example of the new skills librarians can offer in terms of knowledge organization through an online platform. Of course, we also seek to make our website more accessible, easily navigated, and aesthetically pleasing than it is currently. If you are fluent in web design techniques and have completed courses in cataloging and Information Architecture and/or Usability, please submit your resume and samples to silssa <at> pratt.edu by November 1 to be considered for this new SILSSA position.

Thank you for your participation,

The 2007 SILSSA Officers
