3x3: Graphic Design Off the Page

Last night's 3x3 at the Art Center was inspirational since it reminds all designers of what goals they're working towards.

It's great to see how design is applicable to all kinds of things in the real world. As of now our skills are pretty much limited to smaller and common things such as posters and t-shirts, but with hard work and dedication, our skills WILL develop to be something people will hopefully talk about.

The three guests who spoke had very interesting ways of manipulating design, not all three were equally interesting, but they are obviously good at what they do.

One question seemed to be very difficult for them to answer, which went something like this: "What qualities and type of work do you look for in someone's portfolio?". Most of their answers were very open, and different. I basically understood that they cannot specifically look for something within someone's portfolio; they're basically looking for something that will instill interest in the person's abilities.
