It’s Time To Get Sketchy
SketchCamp DSM is happening this Saturday and boy, do we have a great event planned for you!
What To Expect
We have 75 people reporting to camp on Saturday morning and a smart group of individuals ready to lead them throughout the day. When you arrive, you’ll receive your camp pack complete with essential sketching supplies: a notebook, pencils, erasers, sharpeners, etc.
We’ll do a quick sketching warm-up, then Brian Sauer and Nik Wilets will lead the morning sessions. Once they’ve fulfilled their duties, we’ll break for lunch provided by B&B Grocery, Meat and Deli and sponsored by xpedx.
After lunch, we’ll get you out of that food coma with another sketching exercise. Then the afternoon will consists of three 45-minute breakout sessions where you decide what topics you want to learn more about.
At the end of the day, we’ll be giving away a few awesome prizes including a free license from Axure. Then we’ll end it all with a quick Q&A and maybe a few campfire songs.
If you have any questions, feel free to browse around our site a bit more or email us at .
Speakers Announced!
We’ve got a great group of speakers lined up for SketchCamp Des Moines with a few more to add. Check out our Camp Agenda at https://sketchcampdsm.com/schedule
Announcing SketchCamp Des Moines - October 20, 2012
It’s official. A full-day SketchCamp Des Moines will take place October 20, 2012, at Startup City Des Moines.
Some of you may remember back in January when Design+Tech held a Mini SketchCamp Des Moines featuring Ron Wagner, comic book artist and illustrator.
The feedback and energy was so amazing, Design+Tech decided to partner with AIGA Iowa to bring you an entire day of sketching talks and workshops.
Call For Speakers
We are currently in need of speakers and workshop leaders for the afternoon sessions.
A few topics ideas include: brainstorming, visual thinking, sketchnoting, prototyping, tools, storyboarding, user experience, sketching techniques, etc.
If interested in speaking, please reach out to us at .
Call For Sponsors
We want to make SketchCamp Des Moines as accessible and inclusive as possible. This means keeping ticket prices low and making sure attendees get the most bang for their buck. We can’t do this without help from partners in the Des Moines community.
SketchCamp will attract attendees from several different communities in Des Moines. Designers, programmers, artists, developers, entrepreneurs, marketing professionals, will all be in attendance.
Here are a few ways you can help:
Monetary Sponsorship
For $150, we’ll post your logo on the SketchCamp DSM website and it will also appear on all our printed materials.
Items For Giveaway Drawing
We need a few larger, premium items to give away during our drawing at the end of the day. These can be gift cards for sketching or art materials, redemptions codes for wireframing or sketching software, sketching or UX books, t-shirts, whatever you can think of. Whatever you choose, we would only need one or two of each of these items.
For instance, one free three-month subscription to Lynda.com.
Gift Bag Items
We’re also in need of several items to throw in approximately 100 gift bags for attendees. These can be sketching materials branded with your logo such as pencils, pens, erasers, notebooks, bags, markers, etc.
