Week of November 1-7:

I have a lot going on this week! I am both excited and nervous! Through being a student member of ASID and attending many of their events like MetroCon and NeoCon, I have submitted my name into so many things, and I think this has given me the opportunity to be aware of a few events in my area.
Dallas is one of the major design hubs in our industry and this week is busy with events and seminars:


NOVEMBER 3: FOLLOW THE TRENDS, with PPG Pittsburgh Paints “The Voice of Color”.

This is a special CEU presentation on the 2009-2010 color and design trends, and this presentation counts for 1 CEU towards NCIDQ, ASID, and IIDA. Ruthanne Hanlon, National Color and Design Manager, will discuss the new color and design trends in residential retail and commercial.


NOVEMBER 6 &7: ASID TEXAS: Student Career Days.

During these two days there will be seminars, panel discussions, vendor table-top displays, a review of portfolios, and competitions and prizes. There will also be tours of Decorative Center Dallas.

The tickets are $15 each for ASID Student Members and $20 each for Students who are not members of ASID. Ticket sales will end at 10pm on Wednesday, November 4. And because there is limited seating, tickets will not be sold at the door. Please follow the link below for more information.


NOVEMBER 2-7: ASID: Real World Design Week

This is an event that is all week long, where a student member of ASID has the opportunity to have a “shadow day” with a design professional. It is a great time to get real world experience and to learn hands on, as well as a way to begin a mentoring relationship and perhaps an internship or entry level job opportunity.

I have the great chance to work with Mr. Jack D. Caffey from Whole Sales of Fine Antiques on November 3, and I am extremely excited!

I will keep you posted on the experiences and hopefully have more events to share.
