If you don't have a National Membership already I would suggest signing up for one through the AIGA site because the checks we are sending in will take too long to process.

TSHIRT DESIGN
We voted on a "Monster/Zombie" theme for t-shirts this time around. The goal is for as many people as possible to draw an original monster and submit it to AIGA@uwstout.edu
The board members will then arrange the monsters on a shirt - the front, the back, on the bottom, on the sleeve... Print them and Sell them. Posters to advertise will be up soon.


NEXT MEETING: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22nd
Ray Rivera from the career services will be speak to all Art and Design majors about resumes and portfolios. After the meeting you're welcome to ask the officers about their personal stories and questions because Design resumes are a bit different than business resumes.

If you have any questions please email AIGA@uwstout.edu
