“Handcrafted with love by BYU design students and faculty, for the 5th Typophile Film Festival. A visual typographic feast about the five senses, and how they contribute to and enhance our creativity. Everything in the film is real—no CG effects!” – Brent Barson

Watch for these posters on campus!
Nelson Mitchell, a fellow DAI student & AIGA member, worked with Marilyn Jackson from the Office of International Programs to designed these posters for International Education Week at SFSU. We’re very excited to see a fellow DAI student’s talents displayed around campus. Not only did Mitchell work on the poster campaign, but he also designed the micro-site in Flash. Check it out! http://www.sfsu.edu/~oip/internationaleducationalweek/index.html

Hope to see you there 
This is probably one of the coolest and largest event to attend as an AIGA member, especially since it’s about skate culture. I will more than likely be there and am assuming some of the other officers will be there too.
Check it out:
“On November 12, 2009, AIGA San Francisco will present its Annual Fall Gala: “Hung Up.” Hosted at The Galleria at the San Francisco Design Center, the event attracts 700 attendees and will feature custom-designed skateboard decks. Not only is the Gala an opportunity for the design community to come together and appreciate our creative spirit, but it is also a special evening for our sponsorship partners.
For many artists and designers, skating and skate culture has played a major role in their life, either directly influenced by skateboarding itself or indirectly influenced by the music and art of people who skate. Acknowledging the powerful influence it continues to have on our culture, AIGA San Francisco is celebrating the art of skateboarding and are inviting artists and designers to contribute custom skate decks, which will be auctioned off at the end of the night.” (via Hung Up)
In addition to the auction, there will be a raffle ranging from posters, books, wine and other fun items like a copy of Adobe CS4!!!
What’s even more awesome about this event is that AIGA SF is holding an online People’s Choice Competition that is open to ALL AIGA members, and yes fellow students, that means you too. The winner will have their design printed on two decks; one for the winner and the other for the auction. Please visit the Hung Up site for more information.
We really encourage fellow members to participate. If you guys need feed back or help, the group is here to support you.
San Francisco-based Stamen Design will debut a series of interactive and printed pieces that allow visitors to explore the Tenderloin through a series of different maps and mappings. Using data from the Uptown Tenderloin Historic District, public data made available by the City of San Francisco’s datasf.org, and other data sets, the project will provide a unique view on this fascinating neighborhood.
The Tenderloin has many faces: National Register Historic District, entry point to San Francisco’s immigrant population, notoriously vice-ridden streets, home to diverse communities and the city’s largest population of children, seat of some of the city’s oldest architecture, the only largely working-class neighborhood within the downtown area, and birthplace of the sexual liberation movement predating the Stonewall riots. Most recently, a new wave of artistic and cultural activity (including GAFFTA) is changing the face of the neighborhood once again. Using real world geographic, demographic and cartographic data, this exhibition will offer unique perspectives and unexpected insight to this complex and dynamic nexus at the center of San Francisco’s cultural and social fabric.
The San Francisco Chapter of AIGA, Chronicle Books and the San Francisco Center for the Book invite you to a reception to view the exhibition of AIGA’s 50 Books/50 Covers.
This exhibition showcases selections from the “AIGA 50 Books/50 Covers” juried competition, which aims to identify the 50 best-designed books and book covers of 2008. Selections were made by a distinguished jury and became part of the AIGA Design Archives,where images, full credits, project statements and jurors’ comments for all selections are available.
The exhibit opens to the public on November 5 and runs through November 20, 2009.
Opening Reception – November 5, 2009 – 6:00 – 8.00 p.m.
