We have some whalloping news
So, every two years AIGA hosts a design-oriented/mind-altering/mind-rejuvenating/mega conference. We think it’s a pretty big deal and we’re pretty freakin’ stoked to be able to go. We magically got hooked up with some tickets and we’ve been giddy since we found out. This year it’s called Make/Think. It’s in Memphis, TN (still need a place to stay). It starts Thursday, Oct 8th and goes till Sunday, Oct 11th. We’re going to take over. Here’s the plan:
We are going to connect with every single person that goes to the conference. No seriously, we’re serious. We’re going to take our Flip camera and track down everyone and ask them three mind-boggling questions. This is where we need your help. We want to ask two questions that have yes/no responses and one question that has a fairly short answer. One question should be hilarious, one should be controversial and one should be personal but unrelated to design. We have a few thoughts, but we’d love to hear what you guys think we should ask.
So if you have a question that you’d like a ton of designers to answer, please comment! We really need your help.
Oh and check it out, Obama flew over us when we were in DC. Hi!


















I really like the asterisk
Ask them their position on the asterisk.
Very tough challenge: I just have 2 questions so far.
I am in a field {architecture} where bad design can literally kill people. Is there really any danger to bad graphic design?
Not under any of your categories but a question I ask all graphic designers: Mac or PC? {I’m PC to run AutoCAD best but all graphic artists I’ve asked so far say Mac all the way.}
