 Whether you're working globally or locally with renowned design teams or are just making a name for yourself how do you go about winning work? You know your craft and believe in your point of view as a designer, but how can you be more successful in winning desired commissions? The answers aren't all in the design. This lecture explores the interstitial areas related to the business of design and what practitioners need to understand regarding human factors, brand positioning, creative authority, current events and stakeholder decision making.

Join your fellow Southern Ohio professionals, students and educators for a gathering to wrap up 2012, and get 2013 started right. Come to Arnold's Bar and Grill, on 8th street in Cincinnati, on January 31 from 6-9. There's prizes... some UC swag, Frisbees, Milton's red Swingline stapler, and even an iPad Mini! 

Come for the food, the friendship, and hopefully with ideas for future events.

Sixty years ago, young geeky boys built rocket models and read Isaac Asimov. Twenty years later, they watched Star Trek, dreaming of hand-held Communicators. Now, the world is in bits and bytes and AT&T sponsors billions of Communicators.
