Blueprint 2009
3777 Priority Way South Drive
Indianapolis, IN 46240
Blueprint 2009 is the premier preparatory event for design students to learn what they need to know to get jobs, succeed early in their careers and create a foundation for growth as designers. Blueprint is also the only event that covers the expectations and format of the Re:View 2010 Student Portfolio Day, hosted by AIGA Indy this Spring.
The event features two lecture-style sessions. The morning session from 10AM - Noon highlights the challenges design students face in an incredibly competitive and diverse industry. Topics include the reality of the job market, the raw data on job opportunities, salary expectations, professional requirements, job types, what the industry looks for and more.
The afternoon session from 1PM - 3PM focuses on what to do about the challenges. Highlights include a list of resources, strategies for finding interviews, organizing a portfolio, presenting work online, networking, professionalism, interview topics, creating distinction and much more.
Each session will dedicate a healthy portion of time to open discussion and Q&A. Blueprint will feature a panel of a few of Indy's top designers to provide additional insight.

This great event gave me a better idea of what was out there back when I was a student. Make sure to bring your sketchbook.

I am a Visual Communications student at the Herron School of Art and Design and am very exciting to see this show and the opportunities it holds.

Courtny, I was wondering the same so I looked into it and just got this response, "We have four people presenting: two design firm owners: Torrey Dawley and Josh Miles, and two designers: Joe Blackburn and Danielle Litz. They have varied design experience in the Indy scene. Basically the presentation is in 2 parts—Market Realities and Putting together a plan. We pretty much cover the entire spectrum of topics about graduating, looking for a job. We received nothing but positive feedback from everyone who attended last year." Sounds like it should be very informative.

Sounds great! Should we expect an updated list of the speakers closer to the event on here?
