depends on your line of work. interactive still doesn't seem to get much attention. print designers should probably be involved.

maybe

hmm... may be when I am a freelancer and need to network more...

AIGA is good for freelancers and print designers. Interactive and motion don't get a whole lot of love, at least not where I'm at.

What F_18 said.
Also, check your local chapters' site to see what events they have going on.
I am mainly a print designer and joined up with AIGA last year...the networking CAN lead to jobs. I am tight for money right now and didn't renew but once I have the money I'm going to sign up again.
If you are a freelance designer (mainly in print) and have the money then do it.

I get spammed to death by thoose guys (no unsubscribe in NY).
Joined because they can write a letter that looks good when applying for a visa in the states.

i joined as a student so the upgrade wasn't bad.
if your local chapter is active its good for networking and shooting the shit for freelance and new jobs, especially right out of school.
once established, it seems like you're paying $300 for the annual.
