I am a Flash developer from Ottawa, Ontario. I would love to be able to attend FITC and stay on top of the latest and greatest projects using Flash.

With CS5 coming out in only a few days, I’m very excited to see what this new version of Flash will offer!

I have just started up my own Freelancing Design Business along side being a full time student and a full time tech support employee for the University of Illinois. I’m really passionate about design work and would love to be able to go to a conference like this to be able to network, meet people in my field, and expand my horizons in the design world.

Hello everyone,

Just like everyone around,
I’d like to play this ticket draw.
This event will lift me from the ground,
If I do pull the longer straw.

Design, my passion, my soul fire,
Design – forever! For the win!
Well, this describes my deep desire,
To go to FITC this spring.

:)

I’ve never been to a conference of this caliber, nor have I been somewhere as awesome as Toronto, so both would be great experiences.

Simon Robert
Apr 6, 2010 at 10:28 am

I’m a web site designer from Montréal who came out from school in 2008, this can be a good opportunity to improve my design (graphic design) skills. I always want to take some others courses in design, but I have to much works and less time for learning. This 3 days conferance would be perfect for me. It’s can can also be good time to discover Toronto and practice my english speaking.

Thanks to WDW for this chance to win a free ticket.

Derek K
Apr 6, 2010 at 10:35 am

I wanna go so I can learn, be inspired, and hang with the awesome folks who’ll be there. Plus, with most of the web hating Flash right now, I feel FITC will be a place for Flash lovers to gather.

“Each problem that I solved became a rule which served afterwards to solve other problems.”
– Rene Descartes (1596-1650), “Discours de la Methode”
The conference will establish problems that need to be solved. I want to solve them to make my own set of rules.

I’m a developer by trade and have been trying to do some design work on my own, recently taking up Photoshop and Illustrator. I’d love to go to a professional conference to learn more and get ideas about where the industry is going and where I should be focusing my efforts.

Thanks and good luck everyone,

Apr 6, 2010 at 8:45 pm

My dream is to make designs that create a reaction and bring awareness to profound ideas, knowledge and social issues that are kept hidden by large corporations. For example, eating 1/3 a cup of bee pollen a day (available at health food stores) gives you all the nutrients you need to survive!! Also, instead of buying American meat, the European Union pays the US $150 million per year in lost profit to keep the meat out of their country.

Attending FITC would give me the opportunity to network with people that could help me communicate through design these and many more ideas that our society needs to be aware of!! Thank you!!

If he doesn’t get it though, then I’m pretty keen myself.. I see myself as someone who has a passion for design and I would love to attend.

Jessica
Apr 6, 2010 at 11:05 pm

I want to go to FITC so bad, missed it last year and had to hear the second hand awesome from my designer friends. I’m scraping by on freelance so I’ll make sure not to let a second of it go to waste. I promise I will be one big-ass brain sponge there soaking up 99% knowledge, 1% beer (don’t judge)

Elsa
Apr 6, 2010 at 11:17 pm

Hellow there!
my name is Elsa, a 23 year old curly italian graphic designer who just moved to Toronto (coming from a very disappointing MA in Graphic Design in London) that just can’t afford the ticket. (great,eh?)
Jobless as I am and after reading all the schedule, I just can not stand the idea of not being able to take part of the FITC… :( We have a very similar one in Milan called Fuorisalone which covers the entire city http://fuorisalone.it/2010/ so I am very aware of what I’m going to miss if I don’t get a ticket.. just the fact that I’ll get to know people in the same field would give me such a great push in the right direction! There’s even one of my favourite designers speaking at one of the presentations (Scott Hansen)..

I want to be great in my passion that is graphic design and events like these just keep me going and make me want to do better everyday.

In few words: the ticket will be an opportunity for me…and i’ll make the most of it if i will only be given a chance.

Thank you

Elsa

Please send me to FITC! I am a young freelance designer. I want to learn from the best designers out there. I want to network with the best designers out there. I want to bring expert quality design to my work.
…Not to mention that a few days in Toronto would be damn fun.

I grew up enjoying drawing and designing, lost my passion somewhere in college and got a degree in Engineering Technology, found out who and what I wanted to be about 4 years ago and worked my butt off learning everything about design I could fit in my head and now am a Multimedia Graphic Designer at an international manufacturing company. An opportunity like this would be the icing on the very roundabout design career path cake I’ve been on.

Meeting Nick La wouldn’t be the worst thing either. :)

Tony Pagel
