B25 - Sharpen Your Digital Pencil: 3D Modeling Using SketchUp - CEU

ASID New England presents,"Sharpen Your Digital Pencil: 3D Modeling Using SketchUp," a CEU during the RDC. An introduction to 3D modeling using Google SketchUp. See how this easy- to-use software can be implemented throughout a project. The seminar is not intended as a class to teach SketchUp, but rather to show how SketchUp can be integrated into a designer’s process and be used to maximum effect. SketchUp bridges the gap between 2D drawing and 3D modeling by enabling you to draw using a familiar pencil and paper paradigm in a software context. A demonstration illustrates the discussion.

Marketing Yourself

Are you faced with the task of looking for a job or an internship, or rapidly approaching graduation? How long has it been since you have looked at your resume or your portfolio? Then this Marketing Yourself event will help you to hone your presentation skills and make sure that you are attracting the types of employers you actually want to work for. We think constantly about creating a strategic image for our clients, but as designers we rarely apply these skills to ourselves, and the image we project to the professional world. What does your brand say about you and how do you make it say what you would like? Please bring your resumes and portfolios for feedback if you would like. RSVP to Nina Hayes at 617-261-3995 or info@asidne.org.
