In author Spencer Nugent's latest addition to the ID Sketching Toolbox, he covers different types of sketching, their uses and when they should be used. Definitely worth a read!

Toolbox: Levels of Sketching

SFSU AIGA and IDSA present Design Film Night on Thu, Oct. 29 at 7pm in FA 193. We will be showing 'Bass on Titles' and 'View from the People Wall.' This is a free event open to all students.

IDSA-SF has introduced a new series of videos that are from their curated studio visits. These videos give us a peek into who the studios are, what they're about & what they do. IDSA-SF states that the goal of these visits is to:

D&AD Creative Search is a "Winners Resource" for the 2010 D&AD Student Awards 30 Day Challenge. It is a search aggregator that collects results from a myriad of sites like Google, Flikr, YouTube, Wikipedia & many more. It was set up as a tool for creative individuals to use to for research and inspiration and is extremely useful.

The 2010 D&AD Student Awards cover a range of disciplines including advertising, graphic design, craft, integrated communication, product design & includes open briefs as well. D&AD states that "Over 43% of our winners walk into work in under a month".

This is a great tool paired with a great student awards programme, check them out!

For our next meeting, on Wednesday, 1-2PM in FA 163, we will be holding our first demo session of the year.

Digital Sketching: A Tablet (PC) Primer in Design

No longer can it be considered the future of Industrial Design, because the pros are already on top of these skills. So if you haven’t experienced it yet, then it’s about time you finally did!

I will be the one performing the demo, and will be giving a brief overview of techniques that have made my life easier over the past few years. Come with questions, bring a friend, and share your experiences!

Best,
Eugene Wong

Hello all,
If you were at the meeting today you saw the competition our IDSA Student Chapter is going to participate in this semester, if not please check out the website below. We will be collaborating on a new design for a New York City building scaffolding system, working together throughout the semester to meet the deadline December 14. This will be a great experience for both Product and Vis Comm majors getting to work as a team and learn from each other and we welcome anyone interested in joining the team. If you have not signed up yet and would like to be a part of it please let either myself or Eugene know and stop by our next meeting, Wednesday September 23 at 1:00.
Cheers
