Time for another 3BY10.

This time around, we’re getting all interaction-y, with all three presentations looking at the place where physical and virtual products overlap: Corey Pressman of Exprima Media talks about eBook readers, Melissa Casburn of iSite talks about developing a website with MTV for Rock Band: Bar Nights, and AI student Ivan Epling gives an interim presentation on his media interface research.

As always, it’s free, it starts at 6pm, and it’s in the Art Institute ID Shop (NOT the main campus): 722 NW Couch, PDX.

See you there.

Another stellar line up for this month’s 3by10. This month we’re featuring three very talented metalsmiths:

Laurel Hill, artist and jeweler, creates hand cast functional objects of curious nature. She is learning to balance the titles designer and artist one step at a time.

Amy Ruedinger, metalsmith, printmaker and maker of mixed media books. Teaches at AI, and is getting a handle on one of the most difficult, and relatively rarely used ancient metalforming techniques–raising.


IDSA Oregon presents: 3BY10 - A chance to see what creative professionals and design students in Portland are up to, ten minutes at a time. Doors at 6pm, and it’s all wrapped up by 7pm. Happy hour at the Someday Lounge follows, for those eager to continue the conversation.

IDSA-Oregon Event Invitation - Open To Everyone!

Announcing a completely new, slightly experimental version of the 3BY10 for the month of September, featuring an updated format, great new venue, and even more socializing than before with your fellow creative professionals.

For next Wednesday, September 29, the IDSA 3BY10 design speaking series will move to the LeftBank Project, a beautiful, eco-conscious historic renovation on Portland’s east side that’s home to a vibrant community of creative and tech start-up companies, including Sockeye Creative, Uncommon/MNML, and fMYi. LeftBank has graciously offered to host us and provide seating and projection facilities, and we’re currently working out arrangements with Upright Brewing to provide liquid refreshments as well.

Also new for September, the normal 3-person format is being replaced by a single long-form presentation and discussion with user research and experience design expert Elena Moon. Elena has been conducting and acting on design research for over a decade, for clients such as Sony, Nau, Chase, Janus Mutual Funds, Microsoft, and Getty Images. This Wednesday she’ll be describing her experiences conducting effective user research under extremely tight budget and time constraints, in conjunction with Carl Alviani, who will supply the client’s perspective on one such project.

As always, the 3BY10 starts at 6pm and wraps up by 7, it’s free, and open to all of Portland’s design professionals and students. The LeftBank Project is located at 240 N. Broadway, just north of the Rose Garden Arena and just east of the Broadway Bridge.

Come by and get connected with Portland’s creative community!

turn out was a little bit more than expected! At the peak we had about 40 designers. It was good to see people from Nike and Adidas mixing and we had a good group of students from The University of Oregon as well.










Glad we got that happy hour in a few weeks ago. Looks like it will be virtual for awhile. :beers:

Tonight if you are in PDX.
