Writing for Designers
Please join us and the Upstate NY Chapter of AIGA for:
Writing For Designers With Jason Tselentis
Wednesday, March 16, 2011 7pm
The Foundry for Art Design + Culture 119 Remsen Street Cohoes, NY 12047
We've heard the adage "designers don't read", and we know it's not true. In fact, designers do read, and rely on reading in order to improve their craft, creative process, business operations, and critical thinking. Moreover, designers have been writers themselves for generations, journaling about their own work, critiquing their peers' work, and commenting popular culture in general. From a business perspective, many design firms go to great lengths to craft written creative briefs and assessments about a client problem before they begin any visual explorations at all. But what about writing in the journalistic sense? Or crafting something more ambitious, like a book?
Since most designers work with text on a daily basis, that should qualify them to be writers in the journalistic, or book sense. And because designers are thick-skinned individuals, accustomed to taking and making revisions around the clock, the editing and revising process should come naturally, almost pain free. Well, maybe. It turns out that those preconceptions could get a designer, who is also an aspiring writer, into a lot of trouble. Or up to their eyebrows in work. Then again, doesn't that happen to us as designers anyway?
Join Winthrop University Assistant Professor Jason Tselentis, author of the forthcoming “Type, Form & Function,” as he talks about the parallels between designing and writing, and the issues that designers should be aware of before giving up their day jobs.

Sayonori!
id29 is pleased to announce Sayonori!, a new site we designed for the Albany Ad Club's 38th annual NORI Awards. This year's NORIs will be the area's last, as the Ad Club has re-affiliated with the American Advertising Federation, and will feature the ADDY Awards beginning next year. Our pals at Overit did a great job on the dev. If you're on the Ad Club's mailing list, look for an oversized poster in your mailbox later this week, printed by the always awesome Benchemark Printing in Schenectady on 100# Mohawk Loop text. See you all in June! <Godzilla ROAR!>
