Alicia Tuben prefers sophisticated yet playful
design. On a typical day she quietly clicks
away on a Macintosh, working on a poster for
an upcoming campus event as an intern in the
Marketing Office. The design mimics her fashion
taste: She’s wearing a retro T-shirt —
a staple of her wardrobe — from a thrift
shop on Austin’s South Congress Avenue.
After her classes, she walks across campus to
Instructional Technology. There, she creates
web sites for faculty members and enters data
on Blackboard, an online tool for teachers and
students. When Tuben leaves IT, she heads to
her next job as layout editor for Sorin
Oak Review, the student-produced creative
and literary journal. She works on a cover design
that mirrors her clean and clever style, enjoying
the challenge of creating a consistent design.
Finally, she walks back to her apartment to
enjoy some downtime — playing video games. |
