Graduation is coming soon! Check this out.

Just finished college or have a starter job? You’re probably beginning to ask yourself “at what point should my ‘work’ become my ‘career’”. How do you steer things to end up where you want to be? How do you take control of your career?

HELP PHIL HAMLETT (and others) MOVE AIGA ARCHIVES on SATURDAY (4/18)!!

Get some major brownie points with Phil Hamlett TOMORROW. He's organizing an unavoidable storage facility move this Sat (4/18) from 11am-3pm.

The current self-storage, which holds all of AIGA archives, is going out of business, which means we have to move a bunch of boxes to another nearby facility.

Even if you're not able to make it at 11am, you could join in the fun later on by contact Phil via TEXT on his cell phone at 415 819 0153

Please let Phil know if you are at all interested and available, at least for a couple of hours. If they get a bunch of people, it should go super fast. They would also be eternally grateful!!!

Meet at old facility at 11am:

Students! Volunteering at conferences is the best way to network and meet new people, while getting to attend the conference for free!

- - - - - -

Volunteer and network at Interaction15!

In case you don't know about the conference - it's international - last year it was in Amsterdam, this year it's SF. There are about 900 attendees - all designers - mostly coming from an interaction design background - but really the designers are from every type of background.

We still need about 20 volunteers - some for the conference itself, some for the closing and opening parties.

To get a free ticket, volunteers need to work 8-10 hours over the course of the conference or opening and closing parties.

http://interaction15.ixda.org/

Interested? Contact [email protected] and Lana [email protected]

Join the IxDA community in San Francisco for three days of talks, workshops and activities exploring the past, present and future of interaction design.

MIGHT ask one or two folks to stay later and assist with the next shot

no one will be recognizable on camera — but the clothing is important: keep the attire PLAIN, SIMPLE and BASIC: blacks, greys, navy blues are best. no bright colors, nothing frilly, poofy, loud or ostentatious.
