Designism 2.0 Thursday Night at the ADC

In an effort to blow our frequent flier miles through the roof, this third of UnBeige will be embarking on one last trip of 2007: To help moderate Designism 2.0 on Thursday, December 13 at the Art Directors Club in New York City. If you haven't bought your tickets yet, we suggest doing that now, before it sells out. This year's Designism, the sequel to the very popular 2006 event, will play out in two panels, followed by a real-life call-to-action. While the latter panel of the evening needs no introduction--Milton Glaser, Steven Heller, Tony Hendra, Vanity Fair's Michael Wolff, Elizabeth Resnick of the Graphic Imperative (on view at the ADC) and Ogilvy's Janet Kestin--we encourage you to bag work and head over early for our 4:45pm panel. After an opening by Kay Sloan of the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, we'll hear from three of the brightest young thangs in design we've come across this year. Ellen Sitkin, a designer at IDEO and participant of this summer's Project M, whose Buy a Meter has raised almost $30,000. Andrew Sloat, who produced the awe-inspiring film many of you saw at AIGA's NEXT conference, and works days at his firm Drainage Ditch. Ji Lee, the man behind The Bubble Project (and sometimes behind an Elvis costume), who also works at genre-bending ad agency droga5. We assure you that after seeing these three speakers, and experiencing the sheer passion that keeps them motivated, you'll feel pretty darn good about the future of design. Oh yeah, and afterwards? Sapporos for everyone, on us. See you there.
