Headstart 2008 (March 7 - 8)

So have you heard about Headstart?!




Yes/No....Well, if you haven't I'm going to give you the 411 (info). It's a student event held my RGD each year that lets us students gain access and insight into the professional world of Graphic Design through studio tours and seminars that gets us face-to-face access with Creative Directors and/or Senior Designers. This is your chance to network, ask questions, get informed and improve your portfolios.
