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).

Portland is one of the cities often mentioned when people speak about the “Creative Class” and the “Creative Economy”. Many people work in creative jobs here and others move here for these types of careers and to live near other creative professionals.
On Wednesday, you can see four of the leaders in Portland’s creative community and learn how you can work and participate in these fields.
From Vizwerks:
Vizwerks is taking part in a panel discussion called “Working in the Creative Economy” featuring Susan Hoffman (Executive Creative Director at Wieden+Kennedy), Steve Potestio (Managing Director at 52 Limited), Randy Higgins (Creative Director at Vizwerks) and Jolie Giese (General Manager at Nau).
The event was organized by University of Oregon – Portland Library and Learning Commons, Career Center and Portland Student Action Council as way of connecting establish creatives with up-and-coming talent. It’s the first official U of O event at the newly opened White Stag building.

In these economic times, many people are discovering that using social media tools can be highly valuable to network, research, and find career opportunities.
A few months back, I started a 
twitter account (@pdxjobs) to syndicate good & interesting jobs I found across the net. Luckily, we live a great community here in Portland and many people have helped. From the beginning, other PDXers were sending me jobs to post. KGW even had me/@pdxjobs on “Live at 7″ to help people find jobs.
If you are on twitter, I hope @PDXJobs helps you. Also, send me jobs you find, retweet it & use #pdxjobs hash-tag so others can follow jobs across the search timeline.
Because jobs range a great deal, I created a few others that cater only to certain fields. They aren’t quite running yet but, they will within a week so follow them if you are looking for jobs in these fields
