Prior to our day-long training on Design your iPhone App and Get Paid, Nick is going to spend an evening talking about being a paid creative. His knowledge and stories will be of particular interest to graphic designers, animators, photographers, motion graphic artists, students, and those of us that wonder if freelancing from a groovy apartment in Osborne Village can result in long term success. His complimentary talk will be held Tuesday, February 2, 2010, at 1000 Waverley Street from 7 pm - 9 pm. There is no charge for Tuesday's event and all are welcome.
