SATURDAY 18 NOVEMBER 2006 9:30AM–6:00PM
Passion/Payoff: AIGA NY Student Conference

Are You A Designer?
Get ready to unlearn all you've learned about design.
Sure, you're a designer. Or maybe you're a designer-in-the-making. You're really a wannabe-designer. Hell, you're all of the above. But what exactly is a designer? And why do you want to be one anyway? Do you prefer experience over theory? Is design a pursuit or a payoff? Play or structured practice? Can you live it or is it learned? A straight talk on why and how designers keep designing. A personal behind-the-scenes tour of the industry we call design. Join us and see if you are, in fact, a designer.
