AIGA Reno/Tahoe Letter-Pressed Gift Tags

This holiday season, AIGA Reno/Tahoe is going to get some design redemption while helping out our local community. We collaborated with Black Rock Press and Mohawk Paper to design one-of-a-kind gift tags.

Designers from our chapter were paired up by AIGA Reno/Tahoe to design letter pressed gift tags to be sold at “Second Hand Handmade Craft Fair” on December 3 in Reno, NV. But it’s not just for us to show off our design skills, all proceeds from the tags will benefit Northern Nevada Food Bank.

All proceeds will benefit the Northern Nevada Food Bank. Each gift pack comes with 9 different designs featuring the talents of AIGA Reno/Tahoe members.

Bad to the bone

Hey, we (and a few other Reno/Tahoe AIGA members) are headed on a quick roadtrip on 03/10 to SF to see one of our design heroes. If you want to carpool or meet up let one of us know. It promise to be a great time.

On the road and at the event, use the hash tag #renoinsf to keep in touch.

As Picard would say…

I get to go to AIGA leadership retreat this week. I got to go to Portland last year and was usually the dumbest person in the room, I mean that in a good way. It is nice to be surrounded by intelligent people that love Design as much as I do. Let’s see if I can learn something this year. Do I dare? Engage.

Approved

The Thorburn T-shirt and Poster picked up two Gold ADDY’s at the recent show. Is it easy to do good work for great clients?

I have a couple of shirts left. Hit me up, maybe we can work something out.

Stan Can Wins Four Workshow 09 Awards

Las Vegas AIGA Workshow 09 was held September 12, 2009 at the Historic Fifth Street School in Las Vegas, NV.
Stan Can won awards for:
Zephyr Press Logo
Zephyr Press Business Cards
Pillar Logo
iL2 Logo

I especially like the Las Vegas Workshow because of the caliber of judges that they bring in. This year’s judges included Patricia Hallenbeck, Director of Strategic Sourcing and Print Services for The Walt Disney Company, Joe Duffy, President of Duffy & Partners and Lynda Weinman, National AIGA Board Member and Co-Founder of Lynda.com.
