Hello,

I wanted to let you know about the next AIGA event and encourage you to go. I have had the honor of working with Lorraine Wild on some projects and it is wonderful that she is receiving the AIGA Medal in New York this month.

I hope you can join me at this event. The info below is from the AIGA site http://www.aigalosangeles.org/events/archives/001829.php

Please note that the sign-up for this event is with Redcat, not the AIGA office.

cheers,

david mayes

AIGA/LA EVENT | The Designer, the Artist and the Publication

Wednesday, October 18, 2006 | 8:30 pm | REDCAT

Join AIGA/LA as CalArts president Steven D. Lavine hosts a lively and thought-provoking roundtable discussion led by graphic design luminary Lorraine Wild—one of this year’s winners of the coveted AIGA Medal http://www.aiga.org/content.cfm/aigamedalists, the highest honor in the field of design. Focusing on the design of catalogues and other art publications, the panel examines the balance between the respective aesthetics of the designer and the showcased artist or collection; the role of the designer as mediator; and the emergence of West Coast institutions as champions of innovative design. Wild, who is renowned internationally for designing hundreds of books and catalogues, is joined on the panel by leading Los Angeles designers Gail Swanlund and Michael Worthington, plus Russell Ferguson, chief curator of the UCLA Hammer Museum.

This event is co-sponsored by AIGA Los Angeles.
