Three distinct types of sketchbook\, each representing a different phase in the design process\, evolve from initial inspiration journal\, to design development sketchbook\, to the job-search presentation sketchbook as portfolio companion. The power of a sketchbook lies in visual storytelling. In these pages\, professional designers and student contributors tell the visual story of the creative process with their unique sketchbook examples\, and concept-to-design experimentations\, throughout a range of aesthetic levels and target markets. Individual editing scenarios\, sketching styles\, and graphic strategies show how to project aesthetics into a cohesive sketchbook presentation. \nFIT Authors is a collaboration between the Faculty Senate Library Committee and the FIT Library to showcase the scholarship and creativity of the FIT community\, as well as to promote our collections. Each semester\, the Faculty Senate Library Committee collects submissions from authors within the FIT community (faculty\, staff\, and alumni) to create informative profiles. The FIT Library features these authors and their works in a rotating display\, and hosts an FIT Authors event twice a semester. \nThis event is free and open to the public.  URL:https://events.fitnyc.edu/event/fit-authors-sharon-rothman/ LOCATION:Gladys Marcus Library\, Goodman Resource Center\, Room E435\, Fashion Institute of Technology\, New York City\, NY\, 10001\, United States CATEGORIES:Lecture,Public ORGANIZER;CN="Jennifer Brady%2C Gladys Marcus Library":MAILTO:jennifer_brady@gmail.com GEO:40.747025;-73.9941136 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Gladys Marcus Library Goodman Resource Center Room E435 Fashion Institute of Technology New York City NY 10001 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Fashion Institute of Technology:geo:-73.9941136,40.747025 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190408 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190413 DTSTAMP:20260404T101046 CREATED:20190320T193555Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190320T193555Z UID:10006739-1554681600-1555113599@events.fitnyc.edu SUMMARY:Holocaust Commemoration: American Responses Exhibit DESCRIPTION:As part of FIT’s annual Holocaust commemoration\, a photographic exhibit from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum will be presented alongside contemporary photographs.

The information provided here is taken from denimdayinfo.org. \n“Denim Day is a worldwide initiative to prevent sexual violence and to enforce the message that ‘consent has nothing to do with what I wear.’ This campaign originally began in 1997 when the Italian Supreme Court overturned a sexual assault conviction because the justices felt ‘the victim’s jeans were so tight\, she had to help remove them\, thereby consenting to sex.’ The following day the women in the Italian Parliament came to work wearing jeans in solidarity with the victim. Since then\, wearing jeans on Denim Day has become a symbol to protest against erroneous and destructive attitudes about sexual assault.” \nSexual Assault Awareness Education is brought to you by the Campus Anti-violence Education Group and sponsored by the FIT Security Advisory Committee\, Division of Enrollment Management & Student Success\, Department of Athletics and Recreation\, Residence Hall Association\, and more. \nJoin the conversation online: #SAAM URL:https://events.fitnyc.edu/event/denim-day-2/ CATEGORIES:Volunteer Event END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20190424T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190424T203000 DTSTAMP:20260404T101046 CREATED:20190325T133924Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190422T135222Z UID:10006742-1556127000-1556137800@events.fitnyc.edu SUMMARY:FIT International Dance Festival DESCRIPTION:In its ninth year\, the International Dance Festival aims to showcase FIT’s dance and cultural curriculum to the community and beyond.
