Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY) continues to incorporate changes to make it better, stronger and faster. Earlier this year, one of the improvements was the reorganization of the Shipyard Instructional Design Center (SIDC), Code 1170 and separating into two separate codes. “The new code, now called the Shipyard Visual Information Center (SVIC), Code 1165 supports all of NNSY’s photography and graphic design needs while audiovisual capabilities now fall under the Naval Shipyard Support Office, Code 1500," said SVIC Director Jason Scarborough. “Both entities are still located in Bldg. 13 on the north side of the shipyard.” SVIC provides timely photographic and graphic arts services in support of the shipyard’s mission to repair, modernize and inactivate our Navy’s warships and training platforms. Additionally, it provides support to public affairs, the welfare and morale of personnel, present ships, tenants and other government functions. “SVIC photographers are responsible for supporting more than 10,000 NNSY employees in their photography requests. We capture NNSY history – the major milestones and events that make America’s Shipyard great,” said NNSY Photographer Shelby West. “We also work closely within Public Affairs – providing imagery for Service to the Fleet, NNSY’s social media and digital signage.” Some of the responsibilities of the shipyard photographers are to photograph everything that happens in the shipyard, including: carrier and sub movements (dockings and undockings), work being performed on the waterfront, civilian employee portraits, U.S. Navy portraits, U.S. Coast Guard portraits, full-length Officer Service Record portraits, group shots, award ceremonies, special events, graduations, frocking ceremonies, pinning ceremonies, technical jobs and components, VIP arrivals and tours, product shots, and passport and ISO prep photos. NNSY graphic designers are skilled in a variety of art media, presentations, and publications. Their capabilities support various commands and naval shipyards, specific to Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and NNSY. “We produce original illustrations, which may consist of logo design, poster design, pamphlet/booklet layout and design, banner design, business/badge card design, tri-fold/brochure layout and design just to name a few,” said Graphic Designer Lorenzo Raines. Scarborough added, “My photo and graphics team has been supporting NNSY’s job fairs for the last four months and were recently recognized for their contributions during the Shipyard Commander, Capt. Dianna Wolfson's BZ ceremony." "Code 1165’s photographers and graphic artists have been an invaluable asset in the marketing success of NNSY’s job fairs," said Scarborough. "In the month of July alone, their photographs, poster designs, flyers and prints have generated over 3,000 social media likes and shares to other social media pages increasing awareness of the job fair. Code 1165’s graphic artists have also supported the job fairs by creating 38 table placards, individual posters for several NNSY codes, 34 laminated table signs and generated over 160 prints of various sizes. Their continued marketing support through photographic documentation for social media and graphic designs for advertising has helped inform the public of these job fairs and led to 2,746 attendees in the last four job fairs. The support provided by the Code 1165 staff assists in the growth of NNSY’s workforce and ultimately meeting the shipyard’s mission to repair, modernize and inactivate our Navy’s warships and training platforms.” To request graphic design services contact Jason Scarborough at 757-396-7183 or visit Bldg. 13 to discuss details in person.
