This summer a jury of renowned designers, chaired by Clement Mok, reviewed nearly 300 entries for this year’s “Justified: AIGA Design Competition.” The jury selected 14 case studies that best explain the design process, the role of the designer and the project’s effectiveness.
Studio A is proud to announce the “Waves of Color” stamps, designed with Michael Dyer, are among the 14 selected.
Good news for Friday the 13th. Two stamps we art directed were selected for the 2013 Print Regional Design Annual. Congratulations also to designers Gail Anderson (Emancipation Proclamation) and the Kapitza Sisters (Kaleidoscope Flowers)!
This has been a busy month! As we prepare to have one book go on press, another is delivered. We are very grateful to the National Portrait Gallery for selecting us to design this book of poetry commemorating the Civil War. The first part consists of commissioned works by contemporary poets (Paul Muldoon, Jorie Graham, Tracy K. Smith, Nikki Giovanni…) followed by photographs of Civil War battle locations by Sally Mann. The second part features poems of the late 19th century (Walt Whitman, Herman Melville, Julia Ward Howe, Ambrose Bierce…) followed by Alexander Gardner photographs. It’s titled “Lines in Long Array” and we highly recommend it!
This past Friday night, Antonio had the honor of serving as emcee of this year’s AIGA Gala in NYC. Among the highlights, handing the honorees including Jessica Helfand, Stefan Sagmeister, and Lucille Tenezas their AIGA Medal for lifetime achievement. That’s him on stage trying to stay calm.
This afternoon, the printer delivered samples of an exhibition prospectus we designed for SITES in colaboration with the Smithsonian’s Asian Pacific American Center. Using archival photos, we tried to create a dynamic and energetic booklet that creates a tone that can be carried over into the exhibition design.
