YOU: a creative Baltimore artist, architect, designer (of graphics, fashion, interiors, typography, web, or other), doodler, illustrator, hand letterer, and/or maker of things who photographs and shares your work on social media outlets.
US: a collective of professional designers interested in sharing your work across our social streams in order to highlight and amplify the creativity of Baltimore and inspire fellow community creatives.
If the Baltimore creative community is expansive (and we know it is), then it follows that creative work produced in Baltimore is doubly so. AIGA Baltimore wants to share your work far and wide so we can, together as a community, put Baltimore on the map as a hub where creativity thrives.
YOU can help in this effort by sharing your doodles, sketches, illustrations, work in progress, personal projects, and any other creative work with us.
1. Tag @aigabaltimore in your post, in your image, or even in a comment when sharing images of your creative work on social media.
2. Send your images to socialmedia@baltimore.aiga.org. At a minimum, include a brief description of the work, your name, and any social handles you have. You can also include a brief profile info, such as:
– your employment status, your employer and/or if you’re looking for a job(!)
– your job title and/or what creative area(s) you focus on at work or on the side
– where you went to school and/or your graduation date
Once we receive the tag or images we’ll repost your work on our Instagram and/or Twitter, tagging you as the creator and amplifying your name as a creative voice in our community.
