Brand Iron believes that as a company we should be not only be proactive with our clients but with our community as well. On Thursday April 16th, I participated along side some of Denver top creative professionals at “The Student Review.” The Review is a design-portfolio review for students from regional colleges and universities co-hosted by Art Directors Club of Denver and AIGA Colorado. This year’s event is focused on students ready to benefit from creative input and only open to juniors and seniors. The Review put advanced design students in front of specially invited Denver Advertising and Design professionals for invaluable feedback on their books. The Review was a great way for Brand Iron to give back to the design community! This participation also gave us a chance to survey the state of the entry-level designers from the area schools, and make connections with emerging talent. I saw some great work coming out for the local design programs and the event also awarded scholarships to the best portfolios. If you are a student be sure to be on the look out for this event next year, it is a great chance to meet face-to-face with industry professionals.
