Along the way we went through piles of post-it notes on a search for the "aha!" moments that would lead students to the "brand principles" that best represented them as designers. Although we may have had more to show in sticky notes than promotional pieces at the end of the day, It was great to watch the participants uncover who they were as designers, recognize patterns in their work, and be able to articulate and discuss what differentiated them from their peers as designers. We were really impressed with the level of engagement, motivation and talent we saw. A big thank you to every one who came out and participated. Also a special thank you to Kate Bingaman-Burt, Tina Snow Le, and Friends of Graphic design. <img src="http://payload43.cargocollective.com/1/0/698/3161245/614e2b34801f11e180d51231380fcd7e_7.jpeg" width="612" height="612" width_o="612" height_o="612" src_o="http://payload43.cargocollective.com/1/0/698/3161245/614e2b34801f11e180d51231380fcd7e_7_o.jpeg" data-mid="16162000" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload43.cargocollective.com/1/0/698/3161245/ffe7c276802611e1b9f1123138140926_7.jpeg" width="612" height="612" width_o="612" height_o="612" src_o="http://payload43.cargocollective.com/1/0/698/3161245/ffe7c276802611e1b9f1123138140926_7_o.jpeg" data-mid="16161936" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload43.cargocollective.com/1/0/698/3161245/2e3c12b6803211e192e91231381b3d7a_7.jpeg" width="612" height="612" width_o="612" height_o="612" src_o="http://payload43.cargocollective.com/1/0/698/3161245/2e3c12b6803211e192e91231381b3d7a_7_o.jpeg" data-mid="16161962" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload43.cargocollective.com/1/0/698/3161245/8df7e760801f11e18cf91231380fd29b_7.jpeg" width="612" height="612" width_o="612" height_o="612" src_o="http://payload43.cargocollective.com/1/0/698/3161245/8df7e760801f11e18cf91231380fd29b_7_o.jpeg" data-mid="16161964" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload43.cargocollective.com/1/0/698/3161245/5331fc26801311e192e91231381b3d7a_7.jpeg" width="612" height="612" width_o="612" height_o="612" src_o="http://payload43.cargocollective.com/1/0/698/3161245/5331fc26801311e192e91231381b3d7a_7_o.jpeg" data-mid="16161965" border="0" align="left"/> Recommended readings: - The Brand Gap See it here - It's Not How Good You Are, Its How Good You Want to Be.

For our Shift 6 AIGA presentation we conducted a survey and audit that asked PDX design students and recent grads to share their thoughts, ideas and experiences on the topic of sustainable design. We compiled this data into a “snapshot” of how the next generation of PDX designers are approaching the idea of sustainable design. Our presentation included highlights from the survey, results as infographic's, and a summary of where design education is succeeding, and innovating, and where there may be opportunities to increase awareness and understanding of sustainable design practices. We will post our presentation soon... var addthis_pub="siteleaf";<img src="http://www.sdypart.com/images/share.png" alt="Bookmark & Share this page" width="72" height="24"/>Tweet Pin It http://teach.sdypart.com/upcoming-courses http://teach.sdypart.com/following/teach.sdypart.com/upcoming-courses Sat, 19 Feb 2011 17:23:33 +0000 Study Partner, a Teaching Alliance & Idea Laboratory 364447 PSU and FOGD Spring - 2012 Brand Development Workshop One day workshop Hours 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM Date: 4/6/12 PSU students only FREE Register Branding Workshop this Friday with Study Partner for PSU and Friends of Graphic Design!
