He was just about to finish his second year
at SMC and planning on an imminent
transfer to Cal State Northridge. “I chose
SMC because I wanted to play football for a good
team while I studied. Well, the football didn’t work
out,” says Terry Henderson, without a hint of regret.
“But graphic design
definitely did work out,
and I’m excited about
what all this means for
my future.”
Though the
‘impact’ of being a
defensive footballer
might be missing,
Terry reports no lack
of stimulus in his SMC
classes. “I’ve always
loved a challenge,
and SMC’s Academy
[of Entertainment &
Technology] certainly
gives me that. I feel
that it pushes me a
lot. But I like to think
that I’ve always been
good under pressure. I
might not be knocking
people down on the
field anymore,” he says
with a laugh. “But I’m
still loving that good
old adrenaline rush
that SMC gives me.” A
recent challenge Terry
rose to was an Internet
class he was immersed
in. “Yeah, it’s Page
Publications Design,
and it’s been really
good for me. I need
this particular skill
because I’ve always
wanted to be involved

“The quality of
the learning life at
SMC is really good.
It’s a challenging
curriculum that
pushes you to
become the best
artist you can be.”
in advertising. I love putting together catch phrases,
photography, logos, brochures… all of it,” he says.
“And what I’m learning at SMC lets me become an
artist with many options opened up.”
Terry says, “Bonnie Tanaka has been a great
teacher for me in Typography Design 1. We do her
assignments and share them with the whole class.
Then she gives us wonderful critiques. And with the
feedback you get from all the other students, it’s a
very interactive way to learn.” Terry adds that “the
Academy gives you amazing access not only to technology,
but also to your teachers. If you can’t find
them in their offices, you just go online. And that’s
a great way to keep your connections strong.”
