WHAT IS RYETAGA? RyeTAGA stands for the Ryerson Technical Association of the Graphic Arts RyeTAGA is an official Student Chapter of TAGA. Our chapter consists of students from the Ryerson University Graphic Communications Management (GCM) Program.

RyeTAGA is advised by a faculty advisor, but distinctively remains entirely student-run. RyeTAGA provides students with industry experience. The approximately 60 student members of RyeTAGA are dedicated to focusing their efforts on the design, planning and production aspects of the technical journal in hopes of winning the Helmut Kipphan Cup along with various other industry awards.

What do we do?

JOURNAL PRODUCTION

Each student chapter is required to produce an innovative journal, which is judged based on the cover, content, theme and overall production.

The journal includes the top 6 proficient technical research papers, written and submitted by GCM’s third year students.

Members of RyeTAGA complete production of the technical journal in its entirety. This year’s journal will be printed at Ryerson. Using the skills and knowledge we’ve gained, we write, design, proof, preflight, impose, print, bind and package each journal.

SPONSORSHIP

RyeTAGA’s success exists because of the support of our generous sponsors. While we do host fundraisers to help cover fees, we still rely on the generosity offered from the graphic arts industry to assist with producing our outstanding technical journal publication and the costs incurred to travel to the annual TAGA conference. We also appreciate other forms of donations such as software, materials, expertise, or assistance during the production of our journal publication.

COLLABORATE WITH STUDENTS

Broaden Your Network

RyeTAGA’s students are educated in Canada’s only degree-granting program for the graphic arts industry at Ryerson University. They spend four years learning about printing process, premedia, and advanced printing technologies. Our members are bright and keen to get involved with the local industry and we would love to speak about opportunities where we could help you—whether that’s offering insight, testing products or materials, volunteering manpower, or we’d happy to discuss any other ways you think we could be of assistance.

There will be over 150 industry professionals around the world attending the TAGA conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico this year. Each conference attendee will receive a copy of our journal, which will include an industry supporters spread. This will provide sponsors with the connection to international industry professionals from around the world.

If you decide to sponsor us, your brand will gain exposure amongst the top educators and researchers of the graphic arts industry. Your company would be providing students an opportunity to meet ambitious international students and learn about current industry trends.
