As hurricanes threaten coastal cities, AIGA is mobilizing the community once again to help designers who may be displaced from homes and businesses.
While AIGA does not provide funds, we can help connect designers whose lives have been disrupted with others who can provide housing, studio space, new jobs and equipment.
AIGA and Chopping Block have reactivated the DisplacedDesigner site to provide advice and matching of needs and support for all designers-not just members.

The Design Entrepreneur will survey the innovative entrepreneurial options a broad group of contemporary graphic designers have engaged in over the past decade, while also addressing the creative process, fabrication and materials, and promotion issues necessary to bring unique products to the marketplace.
The Design Entrepreneur is the first book to survey this new field and showcase the innovators who are creating everything from books to furniture, clothes to magazines, plates to surf boards, and more.
Through case studies with an international roster of designers like Dave Eggers, Maria Kalman, Charles Spencer Anderson, Seymour Chwast, Jet Mous, Nicholas Callaway, Jordi Duro, and others, this book explores the whys, hows, and wherefores of the conception and production processes.
Design entrepreneurs must take the leap away from the safety of the traditional designer role into the precarious territory where the public decides what works and does not, and this is the book that shows them how that feat is accomplished.

In its seventh season working on Gary Fisher bicycles' catalog, Planet Propaganda presents a series of panoramic photo essays where a light-streaked bike glows as the hero of each short story.
Along with luminescent product shots, the 2009 Gary Fisher catalog shows the big, beautiful images of mountains and trees dwarfing blurred bikes on twisting paths; the peaceful, epic landscapes that capture the solitary rider amongst the curvature of the Earth; and the adrenaline-pumping, mid-air, action shots of bikes screaming down the trails.
Most anticipated of the 2009 product launches is the Roscoe -- engineered for tough, trail terrain and demanding, slow-speed handling.
Helping tell Roscoe's story, Planet graphically explodes the small details that set this bike's technology apart from its peers.
Each feature is visually pinpointed and each benefit clearly described.
Like the other bikes showcased in the 2009 catalog, Roscoe's story begins with an illuminated entrance.
