Sagmeister in Denver, 3/7/08

Acclaimed (and fairly crazy) graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister will be speaking in Denver at an event hosted by AIGA Colorado, March 7th.

Sagmeister's work has become very well known in recent years, especially his work on various album covers. He's even won a Grammy. Stefan is speaking in support of his new book, THINGS I HAVE LEARNED IN MY LIFE SO FAR, and signed copies of the book will be available at the event. No word on whether he will be scratching his autograph into people's skin, but it never hurts to ask.

The event is at the Oxford Hotel, Friday March 7, 6:00pm to 9:00pm. Tickets are $30 at the door, $20 in advance online, or for AIGA members, $10 at the door and $5 in advance. Attendance is limited to 250, so buying in advance is probably a good idea.

October Meetup

Let's get things back on track.

Whether you are in the field of industrial, product, graphic or any other type of design come on down for an informal gathering of Denver design enthusiasts. We'll share exploits from the recent AIGA conference, steal each other's Halloween costume ideas and generally have a good time.

Join us on Monday, October 29th from 6-8 PM at the Skylark Lounge, located at 140 S. Broadway. Happy Hour goes until 7 and it's a big enough place that we'll be able to hear each other talk.

Thanks Jaime

Center Square Meeting- 7/31/2007

The next Center Square meeting will again be the last Tuesday of the month, which is July 31st, starting 6:30pm. We are going to try a change of venue this time, preferably in a local studio or gallery, with a BYOB kind of setup. We'd like to be able to rotate among different spaces from month to month as a way to see what people are doing locally. If you'd like to volunteer your space (for this meeting or some future one), please leave a comment.
