Hello Designers! Design isn't just about work; it's also about cherishing the small moments that bring you joy and happiness. Share these moments with others—friends, new acquaintances, and fellow designers you haven't met yet. That's the spirit of this social event! Let's take a break from work and spend some quality time together over gelato. Join us on Wednesday, July 31st at 5 PM CST at Amorino, located at 38 S. Michigan Ave. in downtown Chicago. We'll gather for about an hour before strolling through Millennium Park to enjoy each other's company. We hope to see you there! #social #designeducation #design #industrialdesign

As industrial designers, our education often stops at renderings of the final product, leaving out crucial elements like user experience and packaging. We are partnering with the design team at WHIPSAW to raise awareness about the importance of having a comprehensive vision for the entire design process. Even if we collaborate with others who specialize in these areas, it's valuable for industrial designers to approach every project with this holistic mindset. Join us next week on Friday, July 12, at 4PM PST at Whipsaw in San Francisco, CA, for an insightful lecture with Whipsaw designers. They will discuss topics that go beyond the product. The lecture will be followed by a networking event. Don't miss out—RSVP by going to advdes.org/store. #design #designeducation #industrialdesign

The class Workflow, co-taught by Tyler Anderson and Jack Marple, is an intensive 10-week course focused on excelling in CAD and visualization, particularly KeyShot and rapid-surfacing modeling. Spanning all design stages from initial sketches to final presentations, students will learn composition, lighting best practices, materialization techniques, and presentation skills. A key feature of Workflow is its accelerated studio project, where students experience a live studio environment, mirroring professional team dynamics. This hands-on approach not only enhances learning but also prepares students for the fast-paced, collaborative design industry. Emphasizing CAD and visualization integration, the course boosts creativity and efficiency, culminating in impactful and polished presentations. Tyler Anderson, an accomplished industrial designer from Los Angeles, leads Render Weekly, runs Sample Studio, and has collaborated with brands like Skullcandy and Netgear. Jack Marple, based in Salt Lake City and Associate Design Director at Enlisted Design, has led major design programs and runs an independent practice called Orchestra; together, they teach at Offsite, equipping the next generation of designers with essential skills.
