Ferris State Graphic Design Senior's day of Design Feb 6th
On Thursday the Seniors of the Ferris State University Graphic Design program took a trip to Grand Rapids to have quite the day. First we stopped at PeopleDesign to get some insight from the pros (Yang Kim! & Kevin Budelmann!). All sorts of knowledge was passed down about how it is important to stay flexible, especially right now with the ways we communicate so rapidly changing. They also hit on what possible employers will be looking at, as we all will very soon be out in the job market portfolio in hand.
Next we shot over to the GRAM(Grand Rapids Art Museum) to check out "Legacy: The Emily Fisher Landau Collection". It was awesome to see post modern works up close and personal and really get a sense of how and why they did what they did.
Finally the students went over to the AIGA West Michigan's No Agenda event. I think I can speak for all of us that went when I say it was a tun of fun. Talking to pros from the area (like Joe Morris) and getting the chance to network. We also helped out while we were chatting by making some Valentine's Day cards for sick children in local hospitals.
A day filled with design, networking, and getting out of the DPC for a while, what more could you ask for?
