In November we brought in Jay Shuster… We took December off, but to kick off 2009 we are bringing in Chip Kidd!!
USA Today called him the “closest thing to a rock star in the graphic design world” while writer John Updike described his book design as “monstrously ugly.” He’s talented. He’s controversial. He’s designed some of the most well-known book covers on the planet. And he’s coming to ADCT at Philbrook this month.
Heads up. Again.
The meeting’s at Philbrook.
We have limited seating in the main auditorium. It is first-come, first-served.
Overflow seating will be in a room with a live video feed.
No food. Eat before you get there. Cash bar.
ADCT and Philbrook members are free. Non-members are $7.50.
Semi-annual ADCT memberships will be available for $50 at the door.
