DePaul Student Game Jam poster used to advertise Global Game Jam 2010 sites.
DePaul student Sebastian Gosztyla's poster for DePaul's Game Jam event is being adopted by other venues that are part of the Global Game Jam 2010. Gosztyla's charming design, created under the guidance and feedback of Professor Alexander Stewart, highlights the playful, hands-on approach of the event it advertises. When other site organizers saw the design being used at DePaul, they quickly asked if they could borrow it. Gosztyla not only agreed, but helped create alternate versions for their particular needs!
The worldwide Global Game Jam is an event that gathers programmers, designers, and artists for an intense experience of making a complete game over 48 hours. This year's Global Game Jam already has more than 100 venues signed up to participate. DePaul's Game Jam is organized by Professor Jose Zagal and registrations are currently open, though filling up fast!
