Website:psu.gd/be-honest

Sign Up: Here!

Facebook Event Page: Share with your friends/family!

Hashtag: #behonest2019 (Share your process work!)

Schedule & Logistics

12:00pm: Set up volunteers arrive (15 total). 2:00pm: All participants arrive. Tables are first come, first serve, with the exception of seniors* (see note below). All participants MUST be at W+K at 2:00pm and ready to set up your table. It takes more time than you may expect to have everything set up. 4:00pm: All participant tables need to be set up. 5:00–9:00pm: Student Showcase—doors open to the public at 5:00pm. 9:00–10:00pm: ALL PARTICIPANTS help with tear down.

*SENIORS: Not all seniors will fit on the first floor. We are working on devising the way the tables will be split up. We cannot guarantee that you will be able to table on the first floor. More information on this will be sent via e-mail to the senior participants.

Did I get into the showcase?

You will receive an e-mail from [email protected] on Monday, April 22nd. If you didn’t receive an e-mail, please forward your Google Forms response (sent to your e-mail when you signed up) to [email protected].

Getting there

Parking in The Pearl is a pain, so carpool, use public transportation, or have someone give you a ride.

During the event

During the event we will be serving beer, water, and maybe pizza (TBD) for our guests. We’ll also have GOOD Market selling student work and a general information/welcome table for PSUGD/FoGD. You will be at your table from 4:30pm until 9:00pm.

Tables

Each student will have a 3 feet wide by 1.5 feet deep area to display their work. It’s not much, so please plan ahead and carefully consider what you want to show. Consider how you can stack items vertically using boxes or other items to elevate work, as well as hang items from the front of your table. Take a look at these past photos to see how students set up their tables and displayed their work.

Full table size is 6 feet wide, which means they’re split in two. You can pick a table buddy within your grade level. It is okay if you do not have a table buddy in mind—someone will join your table! Again, tables are first come first serve! Tables will be grouped by grade level (Sophomore, Junior, Senior). Be aware that Seniors will be split onto two floors this year.

What to Bring

Bring your own materials to decorate your table. Remember to bring tape, binder clips, string, etc. Whatever you think you might need to set up. Try doing a table “dress rehearsal” at home!

Many participants choose to make business cards, buttons or other fun giveaways for our guests. For sophomores/juniors, between 25–50 business cards should be fine.

We will not have access to power supply or wifi, so make sure you’re charged up and prepared if you plan to show any work on your tablet or laptop!

WATER and snacks! It can get hot when it’s crowded, so make sure you hydrate and eat a meal before the guests arrive.

Bring any of your design work that you would like to show. Work in progress is okay!

Some past participants have suggested you bring in process work or sketch books!

Dress Code / Etiquette

Less casual than an interview, more formal than everyday. “Creative Casual”

Wear comfy shoes! You will be standing most of the night!

During the Event

Be nice! Treat everyone kindly, you never know who you may be speaking to.

Be prepared to talk about your work!

Ask specific questions about your work to get feedback.

Volunteers

Spring GOOD Market—Sign up and FAQ

GOOD MARKET IS ON ITS WAY!

We want to sell your work for you! GOOD Market is a pop-up shop featuring one of a kind goods from Portland State Art+Design students. We’re back this spring popping up at Be Honest on May 5th. It is only $5 to participate and you keep all the profits that you make. Applications are due May 1st, apply today!

Apply here: GOOD Market 2018 Application

FAQ

Who can sell their work?

GOOD Market is open to any PSU A+D student! As long as you apply and meet all deadlines, you can sell.

** Please note, due to limited space each seller will be limited to 5 pieces each (multiples/prints of each piece are highly encouraged within reason). If you’re concerned about the size of your piece(s), please verify with us.

What do I make?

Anything! Cards, wrapping paper, pins, gifts, socks, soap, leather goods, whatever you like to make. Keep in mind that you can’t always turn a school project into a marketable good without a bunch of editing, but we love to see projects and illustrations turned into art prints or cards. For legal reasons we request that you do not make fanart of any existing piece of media or make anything that may get us sued. Let's make original work!

How do I price my work?

Things vary. For most things, people usually stay under $25. Cards are around $6, but handmade goods are up to interpretation! A good place to start is to look at sites like etsy or to think about what similar hand made goods would cost out in the world.

Can I volunteer to help with GOOD Market?

YES! And yes please! If you are selling in GOOD Market we encourage you to volunteer. If you aren’t selling and just want to hang out at Be Honest we would love to have you too! We need a few volunteers to assist us with set up, manning the money and selling, and tearing down. Watch out for a volunteer sign up shortly!

How do I apply and what is the deadline?

Complete the Google form here: GOOD Market 2018 Application

The deadline for application is May 1st, and there is a $5 fee for participants. All sellers must pay a $5 fee, which goes towards display and materials for GOOD Market. Please pay the fee when you give us your goods to sell.

When can I drop off my fee and goods?

Bring your goods and $5 in an envelope with your name and email written on the back to either the packaging party on Thursday, April 26th or the final drop off date on Tuesday, May 1st. Please have everything pre-packaged and ready to go if you’re dropping off on Thursday, including vendor tags and inventory sheets. The last day to drop off is Tuesday, May 1st.

What is a Packaging Party?

We will be having a packaging party in AB 330 on Thursday, April 26th at 1:00pm, right after Show & Tell. Your GOOD Market committee will have inventory forms and individual vendor tags. We will not have cello bags or any containers for your work, but we will have snacks!* (*maybe)

What do I use to package my work?

In the past students have had success with cellophane bags. You can find them in art stores, craft stores (like Columbia Art Supply who is known to have sales! or Blick, Michaels, etc.), or on Amazon! Sharing with a friend is a great option, they’re often sold in bulk. You’re welcome to not use cellophane bags, but packaging is required. Keep in mind that we have to have somewhere secure to put the vendor tag, no tape or staples directly to your work please.

Important—Please Read!

In order for your application to be considered complete, we must have received your completed answers to the Google form by May 1st, as well as your $5 application fee/goods. We will not be accepting late submissions and we will not allow people to drop off goods at W+K on the day of the event.

Sign up by Thursday, April 19th!

Event Details

Location: Wieden+Kennedy, 224 NW 13th Ave, Portland, OR 97209 Date: Saturday, May 5th Time: Please plan to be at Wieden+Kennedy from 2:00–9:00pm (plus a little extra time for cleanup) 

FAQ

What is Be Honest?

Be Honest is Portland State University Graphic Design's student portfolio showcase. It's part portfolio show, part party, part open house, part alumni reunion, part pop-up shop, part entertainment, and ALL FUN. Simply put, it’s our biggest party of the year, and we can’t make it happen without YOU!

Who can participate?

All sophomores, juniors and seniors in the Design Program may participate in the event! We have a sign-up form here. The sign-up form asks for a link to five pieces of your work. This part of the process is only for us to ensure that you are in the graphic design program, and making work. We are not evaluating the quality of your work, and it doesn’t have to be ready for presentation at the event before you apply. So don’t sweat it, sign up now! 

What is the participation fee for? When can I drop it off?

The participation fee goes toward renting tables, security, event insurance, and all of that good stuff! There will be several times to drop off your fees (in cash!) in person. The first will be at the info session on Thursday, April 20th from 1:00–1:45pm in AB 320. More times will be announced soon.

Is my work good enough to show at Be Honest? and/or Do I have enough work to show?

YES. Design students of all levels participate in this event every year. It is very common for sophomores (and let's be honest, juniors or seniors) to have concerns about the quality or quantity of their work. Not only is this a great benchmark to have work completed for the portfolio review, but it’s SO FUN to participate in this together before the review. The whole community is here to cheer you on! If you need a pep talk, reach out on the FoGD Facebook group, and we will get you there! Please sign up!!

Can I sell my work?

Students will not be selling work at their tables, but you may sell a small selection of your work at our pop-up shop GOOD Market. More details on this to come soon!

What should I bring?

Yourself and your work! You will have a 3 foot wide by 1.5 foot deep table (shared with a partner of your choice). Work in progress is OKAY, especially for sophomores looking to get feedback before the review. You’ll also need a tablecloth or any decorations you would like. You might want to think about some giveaways---buttons and business cards are very popular! 

Will you need volunteers?

YES! We will need the participants to volunteer in the weeks before Be Honest to do things like make buttons and fold programs. We will also need some students to arrive early to help set up tables, and we will need EVERYONE to help clean up the space at the end of the night. Freshman or students not participating in the event can volunteer that night to help us make sure everything is running smoothly.

Where can I get more info?

For the most up-to-date info, be sure to join the mailing list on psu.gd, join the Friends of Graphic Design Facebook group, and follow @fogd and @psugd on Instagram. Also, look out an invite to the info session on Thursday, April 20th to get detailed information about what to expect at the event.

Design Week Portland: PSUGD Students Volunteer!

PSU students had a blast volunteering their creative skills for the Design Week Portland Opening Party. A team of thirteen PSU students drew portraits for a steady stream of party-goers. The tablets provided by Wacom were a big hit with the artists! Those who had portraits drawn took away both a physical and digital copy.

“I had a fantastic time playing around with the Wacom Spark tablets yesterday. I loved getting a chance to portray so many different people and expressions in one sitting, and I was amazed at how well the Spark translated my pen markings into vector images. I'm used to spending at least 20 minutes on sketches, though, so it was pretty challenging to keep up the pace behind the photo booths. Time really flies when you're cranking out a new portrait every 60 seconds!” —Violet Reed

 “Drawing portraits at the Design Week Opening Party was one of the most awesome experiences I've had and totally reminded me why I wanna be a designer and illustrator. Getting to work with other talented people and getting someone excited about a drawing is what I want to do, so the event was basically a dream come true for me. And having the added bonus of working with Wacom and getting to use really smart products made the whole experience that much more fun.” —Shannon Kidd

Robin Casey did double-duty as both a portrait artist, and creating this coloring chalkboard for the Switchboard office. Party-goers colored in Robin’s illustration with chalk over the course of the night.

"Saturday morning a call went out from Switchboard looking for someone to do a kind of "Adult coloring book" type of design on their chalkboard for their party that night. I signed up to do it before the Photo Booth for Saturday because I've done chalkboard art AND those types of designs my whole life, so it seemed like a really great and rare opportunity to merge a few of my interests for a design gig.” —Robin Casey

Thanks PSUGD, for helping make Design Week great!!

Design Week Portland: PSUGD Reports on Main Stage

It was great to see so many PSUGD students, alumni, professors, and friends at Design Week Portland’s Main Stage! Warm weather, inspiring lectures, mesmerizing pattern animations, food carts, KIND bars and ice cream trucks were all big hits for PSUGD at Revolution Hall! A prof who we’ll leave unnamed was even seen admiring the smell of the ink on this beautiful signage. Read on to see some of our speaker highlights!

Our fearless leader, Kate Bingaman-Burt, was an amazing host! Gold stars for the jean jacket flair, sparkly shoes and for offering the audience half of her cheese sandwich at a lunch break.

Sage McElroy, a junior in the GD program had this to say about Ethan Seltzer’s talk on Inhabiting vs. Consuming Place: 

“After listening to Ethan reflect on a brief history of Portland, I couldn't help but feel more connected to the city. Seeing the image of what Division Street was supposed to look like was a trip—the city would have been nothing like it is today if we followed 'best practices' at the time. It will be really interesting to see how Portland changes as it grows, and how involved the community will be in the process!”

A junior in the GD program, Tricia Leach, had these comments about Andy Pressman’s lecture In defense of Inefficiency: 

“I was so inspired by Andy’s thoughts about homogeneity on the web. He questioned what we lose when every website looks the same. His ideas on introducing a little friction into the user experience as a means to allow an active experience, rather than quick consumption were spot on. I had so many great takeaways for my own practice from his lecture. I’m really excited to explore more play and unexpectedness in my own designs.”

Stay tuned for more updates PSUGD student updates throughout the week!
