Artisan & AIGA Chicago Support City’s Vibrant Design Community
6/10/2011 1:38 PM By Julia ShiplettAs proud sponsors of AIGA Chicago’s Design Week, Artisan had a wonderful time mixing and mingling with Chicago’s design community during last night’s Annual Members Meeting at Park West. With hundreds of talented creatives and industry leaders in attendance, the evening was an overall celebration of design and collaboration within the city. Below are photos and highlights!
Keynote speaker Liz Danzico, a top design consultant, educator and co-founder of the MFA in Interaction Design Program at the School of Visual Arts, explains the fascinating way communication has evolved over the past centuries. Whether it’s writing in the margins of books or commenting on a friend’s Facebook status, people have always felt the need to express themselves and share it with others. Learn more about Liz’s work at bobulate.com.
Our talent Ezekiel Binion was the lucky recipient of Creative Suite 5.5.
Former AIGA President Marcia Lausen is celebrated for her long-time achievements within the design community, including leading the election design initiative of AIGA Design for Democracy. Learn more about Marcia’s work at Studio/lab.
Our very own Kristin Rupert introduces Artisan to the crowd.

Small Talk: OhNo!Doom
5/20/2010 8:55 AM By Sharon PotschArtisan is a proud sponsor of many AIGA events but my personal favorite events are the AIGA Small Talks. Small Talks give designers the opportunity of seeing other graphic designer’s desks who actually have a job with these amazingly cool agencies. You also get to hear what makes these places tick from the mouth of the creative director. Not a bad way to spend an evening.
Next month’s event on June 15 at OhNo!Doom promises to be great. OhNo!Doom is a collective of local artists. The event starts around 6:30 for mingling with a 7:00 presentation and takes place at OhNoDoom!’s studio at 1800 North Milwaukee.
