The COLOR20 Conference in San Diego provided insight into the new ways the printing and visual communications industry is implementing color management and reproduction into our everyday lives. This may sound hard to believe when you commonly hear that \u201cprint is dying\u201d, but in reality it is just evolving and situating itself within an ever-diversifying array of communications channels. Even as our society transitions from more traditional means of communication via print media to more modern digital outlets such as online forums, personal websites, the need to control color accuracy within these production processes is a moving target\u2014one which necessitates understanding of color theory and practical application.<\/p>\n

In between keynotes, networking sessions, and vendor product showcases, the COLOR20 conference program featured three main tracks of educational sessions: print and production, brand and design; and standards, research, and case studies. Event organizers, Printing Industries of America (PIA), and Specialty Graphic Imaging Association (SGIA) did well to bring together an all-star cast of technically-minded color experts and product specialists to deliver a vital update to the state of the art in color control and management techniques and trends.<\/p>\n

\"Dr.
Dr. Walker and Michelle Mayer, both of Clemson University, present cutting edge color research on AI (artificial intelligence) systems that enable real-time color correction for live broadcasts.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Thankfully with the large number of sessions, the conference ran for three days during which students and faculty were able to hit a little bit of everything. This allowed for an appreciation and understanding of how research and case studies lead to the foundation of what constitutes printing and production standards. It also allowed for an insight into how to leverage these standards to help better understand how a responsible graphic designer should be designing. A deep understanding of these process variables, requirements, and limitations ultimately helps eliminate mistakes before they even happen and saves time and money.<\/p>\n

This was a totally worthwhile event, but it isn\u2019t the only opportunity like this that\u2019s out there available to Clemson students. Every year the Graphic Communications department sends students all over the U.S. to locations like San Diego (COLOR20), Dallas (Printing United), Chicago (Print19), Los Angeles (AdobeMAX), and more. Students should remember to talk to their professors and figure out what all is available out in the conference circuit. Maybe one day you, the student, might find yourself with that \u201cgolden ticket\u201d to take you where you want to go.<\/p>\n

ClemsonGC student and intern at Erwin Center for Brand Communications, Caroline Schoenberger (second from the left), attends Forbes CMO Summit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Written by\u00a0Caroline Schoenberger<\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>Class of \u201820<\/span><\/p>\n

This year Forbes hosted it\u2019s 15th annual Forbes CMO Summit. This is an event in which Forbes invites the most influential and innovative Chief Marketing Officers to gather in the same room to discuss accomplishments, struggles, ideas, and the evolution of the ever-important CMO role. For the first time ever, Forbes invited students from the business schools that host their University Alumni Series and asked them to attend this year\u2019s exclusive event. I was honored to be chosen as one of the four students in attendance.<\/span><\/p>\n

My internship with the Erwin Center for Brand Communications<\/a> provided me with the opportunity to create content and help plan the inaugural Clemson CMO Summit in partnership with Forbes. It was an incredible experience that both challenged me and inspired me. Ever since this event, I have continued to keep up with the amazing things that Forbes is doing through the CMO Network. Thus, when I was presented with the opportunity to attend the Forbes CMO Summit, I was ecstatic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"CarolineNext thing I knew, I was headed to beautiful Laguna Niguel, California to attend the Summit. Over the span of three days, I heard from CMOs of the world\u2019s biggest brands such as Facebook, Adobe, Target, Pinterest, Anheuser-Busch, Taco Bell, Denny\u2019s, Dunkin, SAP, Chipotle, Marriott, Wells Fargo, NHL, Citi, and Ally Bank \u2014 and these are just a few. Not only did I get to listen to these CMO\u2019s ideas, but I also was able to have one on one conversations with them which were invaluable, especially as a student aspiring to enter the industry. It was an honor to represent the GC program, the Erwin Center, and the College of Business on the Forbes CMO stage and throughout the event.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of my favorite takeaways from the event are:<\/span><\/p>\n
