Don Snyder:  

CLASS OF 1985
Worthington, OH

Don's Story

Life Married once, now divorced. No kids, but I got custody of the animals (best dog I've ever owned, one sweet cat, and one rotten one). Got a pool table after the divorce (I'll leave the jokes to you on how I must have missed all the ball-breaking) and enjoy playing horribly bad billiard games whenever I have a the chance. I've been a member of Toastmasters for many years (where else can you get applause for running your mouth?). I enjoy films and have tried my hand at writing a couple scripts -- I even helped produce a couple short films for contests. I enjoy reading business and marketing books and have had the opportunity to work with a few of my favorite authors on marketing and promotion projects. I definitely have the writing bug (I even self-published a book) and I'm working on the text for a few other book ideas. Currently "thinking big" in the Worthington area, and working with clients all over the world (developing business ideas for a client in Ireland, business naming project for client in Australia) via the internet. I gotta figure out a way to get these clients to need me on-site... Basically having the best time of my life (so far!) working on cool projects with cool people. I'd be happy to touch base with any former classmates - drop me a line and let me know what you're up to. me[at]dontheideaguy[dot]com School I mostly remember working on the school paper, participating in the traveling children's plays, and spending my junior and senior year split between WHS and The Northeast Career Center studying "Commercial Art." Gary Smith was the teacher who had the biggest positive impact on me (I'll keep the teacher who had the...Expand for more
biggest negative impact to myself!), and had a great time working with JR Mansfield on the paper. The profile suggests listing "biggest crush" -- but there are too many to mention (I think all the guys would agree that we went to school wth some smart, funny, gorgeous women, didn't we?) College I took a year off after graduation to work about six different jobs (it was actually more fun than it sounds) before attending the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. While attending AIP, I met my future ex-wife and two really good art-school friends with whom I remain in close contact. I liked Pittsburgh a lot, but given the fact I am a native Cleveland Browns fan, games days were especially annoying (and DEPRESSING!) so I moved back to Columbus to start my career. Workplace I work in marketing and promotions ~ creating and implementing ideas on everything from new product development to advertising existing client services to fun stuff you can hand out at tradeshows. I have a lot of fun offering brainstorming and creative services -- I sell lists of ideas on anything from new designs for refrigerators, how to build more storage space into automobiles, new snack foods, or what to name the family pet! A graphic designer by trade, I mostly concentrate on designing specifically for printed pieces (like logos, postcards, brochures, business cards, etc.) and for the web -- I'd be ashamed if I was the one that designed THIS ugly site! I also sell/produce the finished printed pieces along with a bazillion kinds of imprinted promotional products (stuff with your logo on it.)
