ADAI Deksia event

It was really cool to hear the guys talk about their business and how passionate they are about what they do. It's a small business and their life stories were hilarious and also inspiring. They had a live twitter feed going on along with a slide show of their work and them talking about other things they have done so there was always something keeping you interested and never bored. I would like to work in a job environment like that. They also talked about how their fire logo came from a few minutes of needing one and looking at a flammable symbol.

Speaker

The speaker did a good job at going over her work and explainging why she did what she did.  Her stories about what she has done has helped me think about what I want to do. Using her own life experiences in her work really makes her pieces stronger and more personal/unique. It also got me thinking about grad school as well about how it's not necessarily for the better.

AIGA DETOUR

I went to the AIGA Detour at Saturday Manufacturing on January 26th. It was great to hear them talk about what they did and how their business worked. They have some awesome advertisements they have created and loved seeing them all. They definitely love their job.
