The AIGA “Make/Think” Design Conference was held in Memphis, Tennessee. While I’ve been an AIGA Portland board member for over two years, and attended the Leadership Conference each year, this is my first national AIGA design conference. I attended hoping to get inspired, learn more about AIGA and meet other designers. I wasn’t disappointed.
Highlights of the conference included hearing design legend Clement Mok talk about the evolution of his career. Clement is a pioneer in New Media and got his start at Apple back in the early 80s, the same time that I was introduced to Macs in college. From there, his career paralleled what I was learning at the time, so his presentation was a great reminder of how much things have changed in the time that I’ve been a graphic designer. Additional highlights included a panel discussion on sustainability and a presentation on the “Secrets of Typographic Success”. I’m proud to be a member of a professional organization like AIGA and look forward to attending the next design conference in 2011.
