Show & Tell! Collage Club with Rob Lewis @ 5pm

Posted on Oct 21st, 2018 by Walton Brush

Hey all! Show & Tell will be at 5:00pm this week, instead of our usual noon slot.
Come and meet Kamp Grizzly Art Director Rob Lewis as he shares one of his loves: Collage!

Rob will kick off the event talking about collage techniques and then we will all dive in and start working on our own collages that will then be complied into a collaborative PSUGD Zine. Supplies will be provided, but feel free to bring your own favorite materials as well!

Rob Lewis is an Art Director at Portland based creative agency and studio Kamp Grizzly. He hates meetings, likes buying records just to look at the covers and can always tell when someone has moved something on his desk. Always.

Let’s see you all at 5:00pm this Thursday in room 320!

Fast Pitch!

Posted on May 28th, 2018 by Kate Bingaman-Burt

The Portland Advertising Federation is hosting their annual Fast Pitch Event on June 8th. Taking place at your very own Karl Miller Center, this event is for students who are about to graduate and embark the journey of the job hunt.

Organized by two recent graduates, we know more than anyone that getting that first job is hard, and getting honest feedback is even harder. Fast Pitch is designed to alleviate both of those problems by giving students an easy-in with local professionals.

For $10 students get to spend an hour chatting with local advertising professionals getting one-on-one face time, showing off their book, and making an impression. It’s all about building connections and giving soon-to-be-grads a way to dip into the local advertising scene. Register HERE!

We have representation from every profession, so whether they’re an art director, designer, artist, or something in-between, students of every discipline should be able to connect with someone relevant to their future job. Most of all, this is about feedback. Students can show off all of their recent work, hone their pitches, and adjust their books based on honest feedback from someone with real experience.
