The graduating class of Graphic Design for Marketing presents Terry O'Reilly and "The Power of Storytelling"


Step right up for a one night only, cure-all, no nonsense, unimaginable spectacle of rather intelligent discourse!

Kwantlen Polytechnic University's Graphic Design for Marketing program would like to formally (because everything we do is formal) invite you to behold the right noble Mr. Terry O'Reilly, of Canadian Advertising and radio fame, speak on The Power of Storytelling. Friday, May 25, 2012 at VIFF's Vancity Theatre at the Vancouver International Film Centre.

Join Terry O'Reilly as he talks about the best brand stories in the world, how they are created, how they are nurtured, how brand stories have launched new products, how they maintain mature brands, and how your customers situate themselves right in the middle of a great brand story if it's created with them in mind.

Doors open at 6:30 PM, and Terry will begin speaking at 7 PM. Following a brief intermission, Terry O'Reilly will field questions from our distinguished mediator, Jerry Wasserman and the audience. We are so excited to have Mr. O'Reilly in our midst that we have decided to shape up our etiquette game. Stay tuned as we include you in our transformation…

National Portfolio Day - Design & Fine Arts

National Portfolio Day is an opportunity for those who wish to pursue an education and career in the visual and related arts to meet with representatives from 25+ institutions accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design. It's not a competition, and no offers of admission will be made. Bring your portfolio, and have it critiqued for potential admission to the art or design school of your choice, pick up information, and discuss your educational and professional goals with representatives from leading North American art and design schools.

The next Vancouver National Portfolio Day will be held at Emily Carr University of Art + Design on December 1, 2012.
