Printwest, Valassis and Stern’s Printing Join The Print Council

As an advisory committee member at a local technical college that has one of the top multimedia design programs in Washington state, Parrish understands the need to educate instructors about the importance of including print design in the curriculum. “All of the advisory committee members – including professionals from the video and broadcast media, web developers, smart phone application developers, video game developers, ad agencies and me from the print industry – give feedback on what skills are needed for our industries and discuss trends that will impact our future. Over the last several years, the demand for print related design courses has steadily declined in favor of new media. As the print industry representative on the committee, I have gathered pertinent data and ideas for this project from the Print in the Mix website funded by The Print Council and managed by RIT. I truly believe that The Print Council is one of the most effective advocates for promoting the value of print and the print media, and we feel great supporting those efforts.”
