AIGA 3rd Annual Northwest Student Exhibition /

Design students: Want your design work to be seen not only by the public but also by an audience of some of the best art directors and designers in the Northwest? If so, enter your work in this year’s annual exhibit of student work, on view leading up to AIGA’s Reality Check/2010 portfolio reviews, Saturday, April 24. The show will not only give you a chance to view each other’s work, but also offers you a chance to get your work in front of all the roughly 100 professionals who will be reviewing portfolios at Reality Check, not just the ones you review with. Prizes will be awarded to the three students in the exhibition whose work makes the greatest impression on the professionals.
