My student job was to make programs, posters and flyers for the ICC and the Student Union. But soon, everybody from various departments was asking me to make flyers and huge 8-10 foot banners on butcher paper draped across the stairwells and as backdrops for performers so I never had much time to think, let alone, develop ideas. I practically had to shake the information out of people. Who why what when where how much. I was not allowed to have an "off" day. Art on demand. Also, at $2.10 an hour, I was cheaper than hiring a typesetter. My calligraphed banners were hanging all over campus. I created an industry. I designed banners and backdrops for James Burke, Daniel Berrigan (a huge rainbow peace symbol) Pete Seeger, etc. (sorry no copies of them).
