Old school, new tools

October 28, 2009 by Patrick Robinson

The portfolio-sharing website Behance is on a mission to organize the creative world. And their recent partnership with the oldest and largest professional membership organization for design, the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA), takes them one big step closer.

Here is a huge, old-school, largely volunteer-based hierarchical organization (AIGA) that’s just opened the door for its membership to communicate and collaborate directly:

“This transition reflects AIGA’s commitment to providing professional tools for designers to develop their practice, in this case by promoting themselves and their work in an extensive network, with a clear designation as belonging to the professional association for design.”

In other words, this agreement allows designers the best of two worlds: recognized accreditation and innovative collaboration.

Take a virtual tour here.

As the good folks as Behance say: “No bold pursuit can be achieved without good partners and friends.”

Indeed.
