About
My name is Adam Wagler and I am an Advertising faculty member and design specialist for Strategic Discussions for Nebraska in the College of Journalism and Mass Communications at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Currently, I teach New Media Design, Strategic Communications Graphics and Visual Literacy. I also work on a $1.8 million grant, the Omaha Science Media Project, that is testing the hypothesis that high school students can learn science better by utilizing a journalistic approach. Additionally, I am involved in a project that is creating products and promotional ideas for mobile devices. My specialties are in graphic design, web design, interactive strategy, photography, social media, mobile marketing, emerging media, branding, strategic communications, videography, video editing, technology and instructional design.
A graduate from Iowa State University’s College of Design I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts specializing in Visual Studies. My degree had an emphasis in Drawing, Photography, & Computer Graphics and included a semester abroad at Swansea University in Wales. I also hold an interdisciplinary master’s degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in Marketing, Communication, and Advertising.
I have worked as a designer in the Midwest and Southwest. After some time in Des Moines, Iowa at a video production house I moved to Tucson, Arizona and worked in the trade show industry. While in the desert I maintained Web sites as well as designed and produced a wide variety of print materials, primarily large-format graphics, for trade shows and conventions.
In my spare time, I enjoy hanging out with my wife, Madeline, being with friends, computers, photography, art, playing guitar, cooking, learning and traveling. In a former life, I played drums in a punk band for almost five years, and recorded with a country band called Moonshine Radio.
This blog is where I post things of interest regarding technology, design, art, etc… I also have a freelance design business, www.waglerdesigns.com.
