We sent out a call for entries months ago, asking area creatives to show us exactly what sparks them and their work. And they responded. Our judges waded through and reviewed countless submissions to uncover the passion projects and pieces that truly spoke to artistry, creativity and honesty. And now that the hard work is finished, it’s time to celebrate.

Opening night for the AIGA STL Design Show 18 is Friday, May 10. Come celebrate with your peers, and meet, hear and talk with the judges themselves — Lotta Nieminen, Aaron Becker and Allan Peters. If you want to learn more about the judges, visit http://www.aigastlouis.com/18/

World Chess Hall of Fame Learn More
4652 Maryland Avenue
St Louis, MO 63108

Each Tuesday in March, AIGA Minnesota and the Walker Art Center present talks by some of the world's most adventurous graphic designers. Each lecture is streamed live on the Walker Channel, and we are bringing it to you! Grab some friends and come over to the World Chess Hall of Fame — we'll dial up the Walker Channel, have a beer and tune in free to watch this year's fourth talk, on Tape, Markers, and Post-its, with Luna Maurer from Amsterdam.

About the Speaker

According to the Conditional Design manifesto,

Luna Maurer is interested in logic-based design as a tool to understand the ungraspable. Her work with interactive media bridges the divide between digital and analogue systems, often relying on deceptively simple rules to create complex organic artworks.

She is especially known for her participatory experiments in which she designs a process which requires the participants to implement—often in humble materials such as tape, markers, and sticky notes—algorithmic explorations of group thought that expose the process of making. Her work explores the relationship between people and technology and she has created such projects as an exhibition of 400,000 photos of the Amsterdam sky to a website designed in Microsoft Excel.

Based in Amsterdam, her three-person studio Moniker balances applied commercial projects with self-initiated experiments. Maurer is a visiting critic at Yale University School of Art and teaches interaction design at the Gerrit Reitveld Academy in Amsterdam.

Entry Deadline
AIGA St. Louis, Design Show 18

Turning 18 is about more than making it another year, it’s about evolving. Growing and learning through faith and failure and tenacity. The same goes for good design. To make something truly powerful, something special, we must all go through an evolution; fighting to free our ideas from ourselves as we long to realize the creative sparks which fuel them.

Join AIGA Saint Louis and your fellow designers beginning May 10 for the Design Show 18 where we will honor those sparks — those works by your peers that move us with their creativity, their messaging and their power.

To submit your own work, visit the 18 Show’s site to learn more (entries due March 22*). With a new and improved online submission system, entrants can submit their work easier than ever before.

Pricing
Professional, member — $35 per entry
Professional, non-member — $50 per entry
Student, member — $10 per entry
Student, non-member — $20 per entry

* This is a firm deadline. No late submission will be accepted.

Fred Sparks Learn More
3711 South Kingshighway Boulevard
St. Louis, MO 63109

Each Tuesday in March, AIGA Minnesota and the Walker Art Center present talks by some of the world's most adventurous graphic designers. Each lecture is streamed live on the Walker Channel, and we are bringing it to you! Grab some friends and come over to Fred Sparks' office — we'll dial up the Walker Channel, have a beer and tune in free to watch this year's third talk, on Alphabetic Exhuberance, with Job Wouters from Amsterdam.

About the Speaker

Job Wouters—better known as Letman—is a practitioner of the lost art of psychedelic, delirious penmanship, a letterer who’s precisely honed technique hides behind a world of unbridled alphabetic experimentation. Creating wildly unique work that nods to the past but transcends vernacular nostalgia, Wouters operates between illustration,graffiti, painting, and graphic design.

The Amsterdam-based designer has worked for clients such as New York Times Magazine, Audi, Tommy Hilfiger, Heineken, and Duvel, creating editorial illustrations, fabric prints, posters, typefaces, site-specific murals, and even body-paint designs. He is the recipient of numerous design awards and his first monograph was released by Gestalten publishing in 2012.

Wouters will perform his hand-lettering technique live during the Insights lecture and is also creating a specially-commissioned mural for the Walker Art Center.
