Its Your Time! Only You Can Do It!

This is Zer0Mile Managing Publisher Mr. Peter Miles Regenold Bergman checking in with my first foray into blog contributing & motivational typing.

The staff (at right) of this moving-target bi-annual have inspired the initiation of this entrepreneurial initiative with their capacity to DO MORE! We’re tasked as a “design studio” (AKA Advanced Type class at Metropolitan State College of Denver) with 19 distinct campaigns of collateral, mailers, brochures, and packaging for clients (both real and imagined). BUT we’re designers & artists & artist/designers who aren’t satisfied with merely making good client work. As creative people we want to invent information beholden only to our own intellectual curiosity and desire to create. 

So, we decided to REALLY & TOTALLY stress ourselves out by publishing a magazine!

The current staff will graduate on to better things in a mere two months. The incoming spring studio staff is undoubtedly a talented and smart group; but, the designers surrounding me now have knocked my socks off, folded them, and set them next to my shoes. So, in contemplating the Herculean task of concepting, naming, writing, photographing, designing, blogging, marketing, producing, and procuring the hosting and printing of a www and magazine in a mere 10 weeks, I looked at the faces around me – already slacking from the grind of client work– and decided to rally the posse to saddle – up to head out from Zer0Mile.

As we contemplate the short but steep climb ahead, I’d like to take this opportunity to pass along the my admiration for you all and the sage advice of our colleague Mr. Scott Surine. 

“Its your time! Only you can do it!”
