Type x Graphic Design: Emerging Global Practices

TDC & AIGANY

I was invited by the Type Directors Club and AIGA NY to moderate a panel discussion with recent design graduates.

Description:
What does it mean to design across cultural contexts? We explore this question through conversations with recent design graduates Pragun Agarwal (MICA), Ivy Li (VCU), Beatriz Lozano (University of Michigan) and moderator Jason Alejandro. Through their work, these practitioners hailing from international and local backgrounds touch upon difficult issues of translation and reception of visual culture and ideas. What can all designers learn from their experiences?
