Appalachian State University is proud to be hosting the annual Student IDSA Portfolio Review.  This year’s event the weekend of November 6, 2010.

This event would not be possible without the input of professionals, such as yourself, and we would appreciate your consideration of being one of the individuals giving professional feedback at this year’s review.

Our student chapter has been working to make this year’s event even more beneficial to relationships and networking, so along with the main venue, we have a number of secondary events throughout the weekend available to attendees.  Starting with a meet-and-greet kick-off Friday night and closing with a special Saturday evening event and cookout, we hope that you will consider making the weekend into a worthwhile trip instead of just a one day excursion.  Given the multi-day scheduling of this event, we have teams dedicated to helping you find affordable accommodations and transportation while in Boone. 

If you are interested in helping us out on a professional level for any part of this event, please RSVP to AppStatePR@gmail.com for more information. Your dedicated contact is Seth Teeples. Our goal is to allow all of the participants of this event to make the most of their weekend in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains, so please let us know how we can assist you.

Also, below is a general invite to the event.  Please feel free to forward, print, or relay the information to any other professionals you may know that might express interest in this event.

Again, for more information, please RSVP to:

IDSA WI Sketch Series Webinar:

Jon Polhamus - Digital Detail Sketches for Production

Friday, Nov. 12, 12:00pm - 12:45pm CST

Members: free / Non-Members: $10 (registration link below)

As designers we strive to ensure that our vision in concept is carried through into production. How do we communicate these ideas to the engineers & CAD designers we work with?

On November 12th, we will have the privilege of having Jon Polhamus from GE Healthcare Global Design demonstrate how GE Healthcare delineates concept sketches into manufacturing & production.

By utilizing layers in programs like Photoshop & Sketchbook Pro in combination with CAD geometry, Jon developed a best practice in GE Healthcare Global Design that helps engineers, manufacturing & Mechanical CAD Designers understand exactly how to retain the vision of the designer & turn it into reality without getting bogged down in 3D modeling.
