See you in PDX!

This weekly event, open to everyone, is a chance to exercise your writing muscles each week. Using a word or phrase as a prompt, we all write for 10-20 minutes, then read our work aloud. After everyone has read, we do it again, then again, for two hours. We do not critique each other's work, but we do listen and provide recall. Curious? Come join us!

The Problem

You’re a designer. Maybe you’re freelance, with clients whose expertise falls in the area of manufacturing dumpsters. Maybe you’re on staff somewhere, a lone designer in a crowd of tech geeks and marketing communication experts (yikes!) Maybe you work in an agency where the creative director can’t design their way out of a paper bag, and whose most scintillating advice is, “Make it green and move it five pixels to the left.” Maybe you’re lucky enough to work for a hip firm where you get lots of good feedback on your work projects, but you’d like some input on your photography, or stained glass, or [insert medium of your choice] personal work. The problem, no matter where you are or what exactly you’re doing, is that you’d like some constructive feedback from respected peers.

The Solution

Come to a PDX Critique meeting. The mission of PDX Critique is to provide a monthly forum for designers of any stripe (graphic, web, whatever) to crawl out of their work void to share information and constructive criticism.

The Fun Part

After we talk for a while, we all get to go have a beer.
