PROMO VIDEO (from 2009):
This year was my first year on the tour and I must say, It was definitely worth while to be there! I feel like although the first day might have been a little rocky, the second was a better experience. I got to tour some really interesting agencies and meet some really nice people. We were not just attending presentations by junior or senior designers, we actually got to have conversations with the presidents, vice presidents, art directors, and creative directors. It was a great event to start and continue the networking adventure. I can safely say that I most positively have a new found knowledge about the industry and where I would most likely fit in. Although some studios stood out to me more than others, I have a great appreciation for all those that I attended and that were involved. And special thanks to Tim Wilson for putting this whole event together.

Along the journey I made a few new friends, some great contacts, and may have even solved the mystery of where I would like to work. Now all I have to do is watch those companies and keep my tabs marked! I could sit here and type all the notes I took for each company, but I think it might be a waste of your time. It was just the basics and some simple notes about what I will remember them by when the time of job hunting comes around. I definitely recommend checking out the sites if you are working in this field or trying to break into this field. I also recommend being a participant of the Tour next year, it is a very beneficial experience and I can not thank my teachers enough for bringing us this oppourtunity.
