Hi Juana
Ek hoop dit gaan goed met jou en dat jy lekker snoesig warm and droog is. Ek het vanoggend 'lecture theatre' toe geswem. (butterfly style!!)
Daar is 'n student in ons groep wat in Paarl woon en probleme met vervoer het. Hy moet die trein vat en met all die stakings kom hy baie kere laat - of glad nie.
Ek het vir hom 'n "flyer" ontwerp wat ons kan druk en wat hy dan onder die motors met 'n 'CJ' nommerplaat se ruitvee(deelteken)rs wil sit. Met die reen (deelteken) op die oomblik is dit natuurlik nie moontlik nie. Ek bekommer my ook dat, as hy 'n student vind wat van Paarl af inkom, die person miskien nie veilig genoeg ry nie.
Maar daar is miskien personeel wat van Paarl af inkom. MAg ek vir jou vra, en mag jy / sou jy omgee om 'n epossie uit te stuur aan die Informatics & Design personeel om te vra of iemand vir Francois sou kan help. Hy is bereid om by te dra by die brandstof en hy is 'n baie aangename seun.
Lekker naweek!
Monika

Free tickets to PixelShift Photoshop Conference
Thanks to a great relationship with Moh (ex Adobe) over the years he has offered a selection of FREE tickets to GD students for the PIxlShft conference this Friday - http://www.creativeweek.pro/pixelshift.php
Students need to be able to attend the full day conference without disturbing their graphic design course activities. They will need to excuse themselves with relevant lecturers where necessary.
This is a great opportunity and benefit for our students. I need names and numbers today (Tuesday). GD2 to Leola Morris and GD3 and 4 to Mike Thomson (GD3)
Only once we have all the names will we be able to check numbers. A list will go up before Friday for successful applicants.

Thoughts on Flash - Steve Jobs
Apple has a long relationship with Adobe. In fact, we met Adobe’s founders when they were in their proverbial garage. Apple was their first big customer, adopting their Postscript language for our new Laserwriter printer. Apple invested in Adobe and owned around 20% of the company for many years. The two companies worked closely together to pioneer desktop publishing and there were many good times. Since that golden era, the companies have grown apart. Apple went through its near death experience, and Adobe was drawn to the corporate market with their Acrobat products. Today the two companies still work together to serve their joint creative customers – Mac users buy around half of Adobe’s Creative Suite products – but beyond that there are few joint interests.
