The graduating classes from the 2006 Bachelor of Design and Bachelor of Fine Arts programs at the University of Alberta are holding their annual Silent Art Auction March 9, 2006 and the event runs from 6:30 to 10pm that day. The art auction will be located on the third floor of the Fine Arts Building (112 St. and 89 Ave.) If you have any questions you may send them to bdes_grad[a]hotmail.com. Proceeds benefit the graduating BDES and BFA students and there will be food and prizes. Or something.
Postcard designed by Vikki Wiercinski.
1500 copies of this 4 x 6" card were printed on the Xerox Phaser 7400 on Unisource's Save-a-tree 100% post consumer waste, non-chlorine bleached card stock.
Using Unisource's Eco Audit calculator, you can see the reduction of environmental impact this paper decision has made. While the papers are designed for offset press some work well in laser printers and Unisource offers a conversion service to cut sheets from offset sizes to more common digital printer sizes. The cost for this service is usually about $20 per paper type in an order and the paper overall doesn't cost a lot more than most quality virgin computer papers. I'm watching for some large format inkjet products to be released with a 100% recycled base. Thank you to Gil Bilodeau of Unisource Edmonton for introducing me to this line of paper.
