Bring your nascent design and laptop to Design Annex for peer & professional feedback at a pin-up/design-crit.

Arrive at 12:30 for lunch, eat & chat before breaking up into small design-crit groups at 1pm. A roundtable discussion ensues: each presenter has ten minutes to explain their project and design concept, for the next 15 minutes the group of fellow presenters and design experts offers free professional design feedback.

Special guest reviewers include Ed Shems, illustrator, designer and Boston chapter president of the Graphic Artists Guild, and David Eccleston, the Director of Practice Instruction at the Boston Architectural College.

Lunch + Refreshments provided, RSVP so we have enough for everyone.

Please include your discipline and brief project summary in your RSVP.
