What is PreFlight?

PreFlight is an event designed to provide Graphic and Web Design students an opportunity to receive constructive feedback from experienced design professionals. PreFlight is a great way to show your work and ideas to some of the best art directors and designers in the Inland Northwest. All that is needed to participate is a portfolio – and it doesn’t need to be a finished product.

Is this an interview or job fair?

No. The goal of the event is to practice...

• presenting your work
• explaining your work
• receiving constructive feedback
• networking

Listen intently, inquire thoughtfully, shake hands, and position yourself professionally.
