Vancouver!

Next week is Emily Carr’s grad presentations, from tuesday to thursday (roughly 9-4 daily, 30 minutes per presentation). It’s open to the public if anyone’s interested, will be held at the motion caption room upstairs in the North Building.

Mine will be on Thursday about 11am.

Emily Carr is soon having their Industry Night, invite only preview for the design grad show. It’ll be held friday April 30th. If anybody is interested message me and I can put you on the contact list. Good way to network other design-related people in Vancouver… and to check out this year’s grad projects (including mine).

Aw, just missed this message nicanor…

If there is anything coming up keep us posted guys, would be great to have Vancouverites talking in an online community!

Hey, might be coming to van for a couple of days in a week or so for a meeting. May 15-17. Hit me up if anyone is up for a beer or two should schedule permit.

@rkuchinsky I’de be up for meeting up for a beer if some other people want to join in too. I believe that the Emily Carr Grad show will br on that week as well. Granville Island Brewery and the gradshow?

… yup that’s why i left and never looked back. there’s simply aren’t enough companies locally to support ID.

I think getting the Vancouver design scene going would be fantastic!

I highly highly encourage professionals in the Vancouver area to interact with Emiy Carr’s design students. That is where a lot of the energy is to get involved and develop a broader community.

Keynote speaker at IDSWest is Ross Lovegrove…September 30th

Also - Burnkit is hosting an exhibition/party at their office called Prototypes.

Mmmm. Vancouver is really far from the rest of the world, ha? Well guess what, friend of mine , who is a graphic designer, traveled all the way to Vancouver for some local design event. That must be a special place…

Speaking of design in Vancouver, Canada…

What’s up with those flashing green lights in Vancouver? And $2 coins?! And no $1 bills?!!!

But I love Smarties, can’t buy them in the U.S. :smiley:

I’m one of the volunteers helping put this conference on… shaping up to be a pretty cool event.

  • flashing green light means you have the right-of-way to make a left turn
  • Loonies and Toonies have been around for at least a decade now; they’re more robust then paper money

Interesting, I had no idea that’s what the flashing green light meant, I was guessing it was a warning it was about to turn red. :blush:

Actually it means it is a pedestrian controlled cross walk. I know in Ontario that usually means a left turn signal…

That sounds like bad UI design, someone visiting from Ontario could cause a serious wreck, eh?

I just saw that my old a-hole boss is one of the speakers. :open_mouth:

If anyone is interested in attending Emily Carr University’s Industry Night 2012 please let me know and I can put you on the list. You can also catch up on what some Emily Carr ID students have been up to if you go to www.ecida.wordpress.com .
