Get Out the Vote Idaho – the AIGA Poster Exhibition

The AIGA Idaho Chapter is putting on a public service event, as part of a larger AIGA national effort to get more people involved in the election process and vote in the 2008 general election.

This is open to all designers in Idaho, not just members of the AIGA Idaho Chapter.

Here are the details:

AIGA Idaho invites Idaho designers to participate in AIGA’s public service initiative: Get Out The Vote. Designers are invited to create nonpartisan posters that inspire the American public to participate in the electoral process and vote for a presidential candidate in the 2008 general election.

To view current national submissions visit www.aiga.org/getoutthevote

Idaho poster designs will be exhibited alongside posters created by designers across the United States in a local exhibition at the Flying M Coffeehouse in Downtown Boise and Flying M Coffee Garage in Downtown Nampa. All Idaho submissions will also be made available as online PDFs for anyone to download, print and post independently at aigaidaho.org.

Submission deadline: Tuesday, September 30
Submissions can be sent to aigaidaho@gmail.com
Please download the zip file from aigaidaho.org for complete submission information.
Exhibition: October 6 – November 16
Reception: October 15, 5:30pm – 7:30pm, Flying M Coffeehouse Downtown Boise

September Coffee Morning

Let’s get this one on the calendar now, before another month slips away…

The September Coffee Morning will be Friday, September 19th.

Location is TBD at this point — we may end up back at Java, or Coffee Morning could be going on the road again. That remains to be seen.

In the meantime, however, mark your calendars. I look forward seeing a good turnout and fantastic discussion.

Designer’s Fortune is an event presented by the AIGA Idaho Chapter. It is open to anyone who is a graphic designer type (including visual thinkers, and students who are pursuing design as a major).

During the event they’ll be announcing some of their upcoming events, issuing challenges to group members to name their social events, and generally mingling with others.

Here are those pesky details:

Date: Tuesday, August 19th
Time: 5:30pm

Coffee Morning Reminder and Location

Just a reminder that this month’s Coffee Morning is coming up on this Friday morning, July 25th.

The new location for this month’s gathering will be at Thomas Hammer on the corner of 8th and Bannock in downtown Boise.

I’ve heard from a few people that they will be in Sun Valley for the Idaho State Broadcaster’s Association Annual Convention, but to those who aren’t making the trip, you are welcome to join us for some coffee and conversation.

Coffee Morning – the July Edition

After falling by the wayside during June, Coffee Morning in Boise is once again poised to make a triumphant return. Okay, so maybe triumphant is a bit strong, but at least it’s back on the calendar.

The next Coffee Morning is scheduled for Friday, July 25th.

Location is TBD at this point. Java has worked okay as a central location for the past couple of events, but it might be time to mix things up a little. Also, there’s a chance that Coffee Morning will be going on the road – more details about that as they become available.

In the mean time be sure to save some time on your calendar — 7:30am-ish until 9:00-ish. As always, questions or comments are always welcome.
