Self-styled iPhone maverick Nick Campbell is a designer and has worked as an animator and creative director for campaigns such as Puma, PBS Kids, and the Blackberry Bold. He blogs and hosts regular tutorials at GreyscaleGorilla.com. Nick is an educator, lecturer, the creator of ShakeItPhoto for the iPhone – and an all round swell guy.
And for one day only, Campbell is flying to Winnipeg to share one of the most important iPhone development secrets of all: getting paid.
In this day-long training session presented by New Media Manitoba, Campbell will share how to design and get your iPhone app started, develop a user interface, find a programmer, and market and sell your application. He will deconstruct how he created a business plan for ShakeItPhoto, an App Store Staff Favourite which turns your iPhone into the perfect Polaroid.
This presentation is ideally suited for designers, recent graduates, and entrepreneurs that have an iPhone idea and are looking for a place to start, as well as people that recognize usability and design are the cornerstone of anything worth living for.
What: Designing Your iPhone App and Getting Paid
When: Wednesday, February 3 – 9:00 am to 4:00 pm
Where: 1000 Waverley Street
How Much: $49.95 (includes breakfast and lunch)

Bonus! Prior to the session, Campbell is going to spend an evening talking about being a paid creative. His knowledge and stories will be of particular interest to graphic designers, animators, photographers, motion graphic artists, students, and those of us that wonder if freelancing from a groovy apartment in Osborne Village can result in long term success.
This free evening talk takes place from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm, at the same address, on Tuesday, February 2. New Media Manitoba requests that you RSVP here if interested.
