@thethaiflondon @aliang_co @AnthonyMenecola I haven’t come across anything but I’ve thought about organizing a local meetup like this before for Toronto people. I’m sure there’s FB groups about running workshops and stuff though, just location agnostic.

I'm not gonna lie, if money were no object, I'd probably still be a designer. I'd just do my own personal projects.

But rent isn't gonna pay itself. So how do you figure out the right salary, or ask for more? We're talking about it all at PRN. Join us: https://t.co/yYghlyr6LQ

Tickets for reviews are 60% sold out!

Portfolio Review Night happens this weekend, and all the slots are filling up quickly. This year you can buy separate tickets to the reviews and discussion panels, so you can just attend the parts you really need ➡️ https://t.co/yYghlyr6LQ

You book doesn't have to be perfect for a review - that's kind of the whole point. Feel good about your book 'cause a bunch of pros told you the best way to set it up to get your next gig.

Want all that info? Come to Portfolio Review Night this weekend: https://t.co/yYghlyr6LQ

This year’s PRN is different: you can get a ticket to any combination of reviews & panels you want. Now you can sit with reviewers in any field and find some focus, or get help making a tough decision.

The choice is yours. Grab your tickets: https://t.co/yYghlyr6LQ

The world hasn't actually ended. My proof: you're still here. And if you've been wondering what to do next, that means there's a future too. I'm thinking of you. We're still here, and we still need you and your ideas, because we're what makes the world go 'round. You're not done.

I'm not one for new year's resolutions. If there's something I want to do, I do it. Jan 1st isn't motivating for me. The calendar is a human construct that means nothing to the universe. Start projects whenever!

That said: happy new year. May all your design dreams come true.

Tonight! Hear the story behind Emily Woudenberg's zine Forget Me Not at #CoolConceptTO. Art can be a powerful tool for processing things that happen to us, so we can move on. Of course, burning it all is an option too... come out to see what I mean. 🔥 https://t.co/pGbjpGV3ei

[T.O.DesignDirectory @Toronto_DD]

I’ve been following Emily's work ever since her piece in S&S4: a 6", hand-sewn, typographic quilt. I am *always* here for that kind of thinking.

This Thursday, we’ll hear about her zine Forget Me Not, and her unique way of sharing that story. Come out: https://t.co/pGbjpGV3ei

Jesse Watson makes applying gold leaf look effortless. ✨ But watching him run a workshop at Swash & Serif this summer, I saw just how impressive it is that he’s taught himself such a complex skill. Hear the whole story this Thursday at #CoolConceptTO: https://t.co/pGbjpGV3ei

[T.O.DesignDirectory @Toronto_DD]

Gold makes everything better! ✨ After teaching himself the art of water gilding, Jesse Watson has become a regular King Midas, applying gold leaf to his lettering to create absolutely beautiful work. Hear his story at Cool Concept next week! Tickets: https://t.co/pGbjpGV3ei

[T.O.DesignDirectory @Toronto_DD]

Have you ever dreamed about traveling, recording your experiences, and turning that into an art project? After living in Thailand for a year, Jacqueline Lai wrote a graphic novel to memorialize the story. Hear all about it at #CoolConceptTO next week: https://t.co/pGbjpGV3ei

[T.O.DesignDirectory @Toronto_DD]

@The_CDR Looks like it was designed by people who’s only "research" was a Buzzfeed "article" about Canadians. They’ll do something with bagged milk next.
