**For Immediate Release** Graduate Nabs Lead Graphics Designer Position -released by OPSU Campus Communications 09-15-05 Oklahoma Panhandle State University graduate Travis Bailey was recently hired at the Santa Anna office of CH2M Hill as a Lead Graphics Designer. The global corporation provides engineering, construction, and operation services to clients on six continents. Travis’ duties will include the creation of complex print documents, high quality graphics options, presentations, conceptual drawings, maps, animations and technical illustrations both in 2D and 3D formats. In 2004, Fortune Magazine proclaimed CH2M Hill “one of America’s most admired companies in engineering construction” and in 2003 one of the “100 Best Companies to Work For.” During the spring of 2005, Travis and a childhood friend founded their own graphic and web services company, 28 Productions. Explaining how the company began, Travis said, “I just figured it was about time I transitioned the things I’ve been doing for years into something more concrete and official. The main goal was just to give a more professional appearance to what we were already doing and make things more legal. We’ve done websites ranging from retail stores in Kansas City, MO to a construction company in Long Beach, CA. I also provide my art and graphics through the company so it gives my work a more professional appearance in that fashion, too.” Travis’ work and contact information can be found at http://www.28productions.com. Travis also mentioned the education he received in Goodwell. “My time at OPSU was beneficial in my career, not only from the degree I received, but also becoming friends with my graphics teachers. They’ve helped me and given me advice whenever possible long after I graduated, an overlooked benefit of going to a smaller college where you can personally get to know your instructors.” -30-
