Rocky Mountain Chapter Event: Wednesday March 18th
Hello all,Short notice I know. Sorry for that! However, we have a very fun and informative meeting planned for next week.
Basically, Melodie Miller (Director of Product Develpment - Sierra Designs; Apparel) will be giving us an overview of how SD designs and developes product. She'll be hitting on some key points such as;
- Design Innovation in Technical outer wear (existing and how to...)
- How to cross over with fashion and technically performance based products
- Perceptions in a niche market place and the permission given to expand
I believe that in our given economic climate right now, it would be advantageous for those NOT involved in the apparel industry to attend this as it might provide valuable information in some tangible ways to bring back to our clients/employers.
In addition to the above;
"Composition started as my way to express and share a passion for design. It started a little over 5 years ago with a 450 square foot space in lower downtown Denver. It was a terrible retail location but I guess I was so optimistic and naive that I didn't know any better. I think my sheer exuberance for the products, vendors and the people I was meeting carried me through that first 15 months. Since then, I have learned a great deal about the retail business and its many challenges; grown the store to 2600 square feet in its current Belmar location and continued to feed and share my passion for design and the creative community that this store reaches. I have a lot more to say and share, but right now there is a website to launch."
Jennifer Roberts, Owner; Composition
In addition to hosting our event, Composition has offered us 15% off everything in the store for this event only!
Please join us!

Stay on top of the design Workshop
When: Tuesday, Feb 24 (yeah, that's tomorrow) @4:30pm
Where: The Studio
Why: Because staying on top of all the design news that you should be staying on top of is hard. This includes sources like Core77 (& Coroflot), Designboom, and even the Metro ID posts (like what used to be on the bulletin outside the office). I'll show you how to keep this and the IDSA schedule and blog all within easy reach from anywhere that you can access the internet.
I'll introdcue the concept of and RSS reader, show a few free options, and then show how to use it as a tool while you're in the Industrial Design Program.
The presentation will only be 30-45 minutes, depending on questions, and I will be happy to work with individuals afterward to help set them up.
Email me with any questions at jeffrey@matthias.org
