Hey...had no idea JF was a judge for the MN show...may have to seriously give AIGA a chance at redeeming their interactive interests. ;o)
We're against entering award competitions but I'll surely judge one. I can assure you that pretty pages alone won't get my nod.
JF...have you had much insight into the MN show? I do know they've been trying to make this much more about solution design vs. aesthetic design (my words, not theirs) if that makes sense. I'm anxious, excited, and also a bit aprehensive as to how the show will come out and be perceived both internally and externally of the AIGA.
What about NYC?
any plans to ever make it out here?
Would love to make it to one of the conferences but all are out of reach.
