Continuing at their typical break-neck speed, AIGA Idaho’s next event is coming up on Thursday, March 12th, featuring Rob Wallace, Managing Partner of Wallace Church, entitled The Quest for Quantification – Proving Design’s Return on Investment.

From the AIGA Idaho website:

Referred to as ‘the thought leader on design ROI’, Rob will share Wallace Church’s process and data. He then will lead an active discussion on the impact of proving design’s value. Can it be done? Should design be quantified? And what do we do with this information once we have it? Team discussion will lead to how quantifying design can be structured into your best practices.

All the details you’ll need:

Date: Thursday, March 12th
Time: 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm
Location: Boise State University, Liberal Arts Building, Room LA 106

AIGA Idaho has yet another event on tap, and this looks to be a good one. Von Glitschka, Illustrative Designer with Glitschka Studios, will be presenting to the group on Thursday, February 12th.

From the event’s description:

Have you ever thought of a unique concept, but then wasn’t sure you could pull it off because it required a good amount of illustrative work and frankly speaking that intimidated you? Or your budget was such that you couldn’t hire it out either? So, instead you just pursued another design direction? Von’s “Illustrative Design” presentation will walk you through systematic illustrative design methods you’ll be able to integrate into your own creative process. In the end you’ll be better equipped to pursue those design ideas that require an illustrative touch far more effectively, thus expanding your overall creative potential and skill set as a graphic designer.

Here’s the skinny, for those interested in attending:

Date: Thursday, February 12th
Time: 6:00 pm
Location: Beside Bardenay, 612 Grove St, Boise
Cost:
– AIGA Members: $10
– Non-Members: $20
– Students: $7
