In an unfortunate turn of events (or ‘event’ to be exact), technology failed us at the January 19th Career Tools – “Transitioning from Print to Web.” Our sincerest apologies and gratitude to all in attendance (including guest speaker, Jason Duerr) for being such good sports.

Previous attendees who indicated they wanted to attend the rescheduled event have been contacted and space reserved for those who have RSVP’d (if you qualify and have not been contacted, please email programming@portland.aiga.org).

There is still plenty of space left, so we are opening up registration to anyone else who wants to attend. Please pre-register if possible. Walk-ins will be admitted as space allows (cash or check only please).

About the Event
Getting a solid footing in web design can feel a little overwhelming without some good direction. That’s why AIGA Portland is proud to present Jason Duerr of Sandstrom Partners to help you get a better understanding of the constraints and possibilities when designing for the web. Learn what’s important and what to ignore when getting started in web design, and see how your experience in print can translate to this medium (it can even be an advantage). With an ever increasing demand for web design skills, you won’t want to miss out on this sage advice!

Jason Duerr is a post-hardcore rock’n’roller, graphic designer, web technologist, radio guy, amateur chef, coffee nerd, motorcyclist, skateboard commuter, bike geek, and reluctant adult. He’s currently Interactive Tzar at Sandstrom Partners in Portland and Sole Proprietor of DROPKICK Design Studio.
