Creative Week. You Going?
Future and present art directors, web designers, illustrators and copywriters, what are you doing May 10-16?
Whether you're graduating or ending another semester, you're getting out just in time for Creative Week. Check it out:
(Taken from their site.) "Creative Week NYC is about creativity—earth-shattering, game-changing creativity. Whether you make films, or music, or games, or chocolate soufflés, Creative Week wants to help you reach out and expand your community...
(It's) a celebration of creativity in advertising, design, digital media, music, film and the fine arts, taking place in New York throughout the second week of May 2010.
Creative Week began when The One Club, a non-profit in the Advertising industry, saw that the 3,000-5,000 creative professionals it drew to New York each year for its One Show Festival presented an excellent opportunity to help New York’s varied creative organizations find an appreciative and influential audience."
So make contacts. Show your work. Tour agencies. Sharpen your skills. It's only their second year and they have an impressive line-up of events and activities. Some events are free. Prices vary on others.
If you're anywhere near NYC (or can get there), be there. For more information, I'll keep a link posted right up to the event.
Also just in time for graduation — The Ad Grad Project 2010.
Last year, The Ad Grad Project found 51 job opportunities in five weeks. This year, I asked recruiters and HR representatives from various agencies, "What makes a portfolio stand out?" The answers? Stay tuned. It could help you get hired somewhere.
