A good part of being a design professional is knowing how to market what you know and what you do. Your portfolio is your calling card. It's full of stories, ideas, challenges met and successes realized. But what to put in and perhaps, most importantly, what to leave out?
At this event, people got the chance to present work to graphic designers working and teaching in the field for evaluation and feedback. It is all an asset to expand your personal network through conversations with professionals from across Michigan who work in the field and know the current job market.
Attendees also got the chance to listen to a very informative lecture by Nick Campbell. Nick currently lives in Chicago and works as a motion designer, photographer, iPhone app designer and educator. He has worked for over 6 years in the motion design industry, most recently at Digital Kitchen where he worked on Dexter, Target, Blackberry, and most recently for the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien. He started his blog, GrayscaleGorilla, to help creatives make cool stuff. He posts tutorials about his process as well as links to ideas, news, and inspiration. His photo blog allows him to post his favorite shots and explore composition and color correction techniques.
