The Creative Summit was founded by Chris Hill to further the knowledge and spirit of creativity for his students while teaching at Southwest Texas State University (now Texas State University - San Marcos). Now in its 22nd year, the Creative Summit has grown into a highly respected regional student competition and conference that is attended by students and professionals from all over the country. This annual event is coordinated by Chris’ studio, HILL, with the support of the faculty and students from the Department of Communication Design at Texas State University - San Marcos. The Creative Summit is a non-profit organization. All proceeds go towards scholarship monies awarded for outstanding student work. To learn more about the Creative Summit.

BoDo is a new site recently luanched by Catherine (cat) Morley, Neil (nt) Tortorella and Jeanette (jay) Wickham. You nay recognize these folks from the No!Spec Inititaive and Creative Latitude. BoDo is a website for practical business advice. Here is what they say about themselves:

“BoDo is grass-roots-get-down-and-dirty-love-yo-mamma. We’ll talk about serious subjects such as “When to bring in a PITA clause,” “How to keep your clients” and “How to fire a client.” As well as lighter fare like “Working in your undies” and “How to tell when your down time is up.”

While BoDo isn’t filled with deep theoretical conversations on the whys and wherefores of design there is a lot to read and think about. Additionally this is not the place for tutorials on software techniques (although they have a collection in BoDo’s resources).
