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/

Don't miss this presentation by Vancouver-based designer, typographer, writer, and illustrator Marian Bantjes. Renowned for her intricate patterning and delicate ornamentation, Stefan Sagmeister calls Bantjes “one of the most innovative typographers working today.” She worked for ten years as a typesetter before opening her own design firm, which she shuttered in 2003 to pursue projects described as “highly personal, obsessive, and sometimes just plain weird.” In 2010, she released the highly acclaimed book I Wonder, which was hailed by New York Times critic and designer Steven Heller as “a wondrous, if breathless, display of virtuosic craft.” Bantjes has designed work for Saks Fifth Avenue, Penguin Books, GRANTA, WIRED, Wallpaper*, and many others. Her graphic work is included in the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum’s permanent collection. For more information and to buy tickets for the event, please visit the ICA Website
