ATHENS, Ohio (Dec. 15, 2011)—Michael Stephens, a sophomore majoring in Digital Media at Ohio University, won 2nd place in the Game Career Guide “Location, Location, Location” Design Contest in mid-November, marking the third time during Fall Quarter he placed in the challenge series, a record for any student at Ohio University.
Stephens, a Columbus native, says the challenges are a good way to put skills into practice and gain experience.
“It’s a great opportunity to practice designing things and to have them judged by people you don’t know,” Stephens said. “It’s great to get feedback on your design.”
