Statements about New Media abound in today’s press and personal conversation. Yes, even if you don’t refer to it as such. Unfortunately many people are beset with a misunderstanding of What it is and How it affects us. Equally misplaced, is out part in it: as user and developer.
- Do you look at photographs and comment or cry?
- Do you look at ads and wince or chuckle?
- Do you wonder who came up with that really clever or terribly lame corporate logo?
- Do you set through a typical action-packed movie wondering, ‘How’d they do that?’
- Do you view websites with awe or indifference?
- Do you know why? or care?
- Do you amaze at digital photography technology or bemoan the loss of film?
- Do you know deep down that you have a website, blog, podcast, videoblog, videoJournal, personalDocumentary or other form of New Media, in you?
It doesn’t matter HOW you answered to ANY of the above. If you have visited these topics before, you’ve spent time thinking on the action, effect and future of New Media Design.
Even when we don’t realize it, New Media Design impacts our lives daily.
The beauty of this new dawn in Media ? You can have an integral part in the party! You no longer need to stand by and merely be an observer. You can … and in many cases already ARE … a participant.
For this reason i65 New Media Design operates a Web Design and Photography Meetup in the same venue.
Regardless of whether your interest is purely personal satisfaction or career driven, come and network for tools, techniques, tips, trade advice on careers, rates, and freelancing opts. i65nmd offers an atmosphere where no question, tip or connection is too small or too large. You are in the presence of new friends who can be seen as , ‘valuable contacts not yet met’ …!
Four Guidelines exist for membership in the i65nmd Meetup:
1) Event Fees or Dues: Event Fee is $5.00/meeting or $20/year for everyone; make a financial investment and gain ownership in the group and your development. Payment can be made w/ CASH, CHECK or by PAYPAL.
2) Attend at least 70% of the meetings; your presence is a positive step toward ownership.
3) Active Participation; maximize everyone’s efforts in development ownership.
4) Passion-based activism builds growth oriented ownership; i65 seeks to promote and build valuable ownership between YOU and your peers of a platform for passionate development.
None of us has time to waste. i65 New Media Design offers a platform where we all have time to fuel and rekindle our passions. Thus, when we gather for an i65 meeting, each one of us, should expect to walk away with more than when we arrived.
Let’s have a lot of fun and maximize our efforts at the same time. The casual, enjoyable meeting of like-minded professionals, is the true power of the Meetup platform. Each of us will have opportunity to reach a higher level of interaction and growth opportunity with Meetup.
We all enjoy success. Together we can experience success in our professional and personal aspirations – growing to higher levels of accomplishment – through regular Meetup activities.
