Say Anything: Is Poster Design Still Relevant?

With the current prevalence of electronic media assaulting one at every turn, is the classic art of the poster still relevant today? Does that carefully designed piece still have a place in modern design and marketing campaigns or has it become nothing more than an exercise in fulfilling a designer's vanity? Join us at this month's topical and perhaps controversial 'Say Anything'.

See posters that local designers have designed to help promote Phoenix Design Week October 21-25. And you can vote on your favorite through this Friday!

Phoenix Design Week kicks off with the Design Schools Poster Show at 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, October 20. Come to Kitchen Sink Studios in Phoenix where you can view the work of four universities' design students who accepted the challenge to design a poster promoting awareness of social issues and charity causes, as well as an international collection of posters in association with Good50x70.org and poster4tomorrow.org.

Say Anything is a roundtable discussion for independent designers, business owners, freelancers etc. The topics will change from month to month, ranging from: contracts, pricing, marketing, finances, taxes, and other business issues. This event is open to members and non-members, with the free incentive offered only to AIGA members.

Please let us know if you'd like to attend - RSVP to programs@arizona.aiga.org. If you do RSVP and are unable to attend, PLEASE e-mail your cancellation by Monday, October 12 at 11 a.m. Say Anything can be a packed house, and we can offer your seat to another eager person if you let us know in time.
