Last Wednesday I went to the Boise Graphic Design Meetup and it was a great experience. The last time I went to the meetup, there were about 10-15 people there. I hadn’t been to a meeting in a few months, for various reasons. Last week, there were 30-35 people! And apparently last month there were upwards of 50!! It’s great to have such an awesome group coming together; it’s an amazing resource for local designers.
A few of us were talking towards the end about how much we miss the collaboration and sense of community we had in school. The meetup provides that sort of community, and an opportunity to meet many very talented people.
The presentation of Flash techniques given by Randy Jamison from Curious Media was very interesting and entertaining. Getting to see the work of a Flash professional was great, and I picked up a few ideas and techniques to try.
I’m looking forward to next month, and seeing everyone again. We’re looking for a bigger venue to call “home”, so if anyone has any ideas we’re open to suggestions!
