 Illustrative 2009: Illustrative Art Festival Returns to BerlinIllustrative 2009 will return to the creative capital to celebrate the cutting-edge works of contemporary graphic art for the fifth time around.From the 15th of October to the 1st of November, works ranging from drawing, graphic prints, painting and monumental mural collages to graphically inspired 3D-illustrations, book art and animation will be on show. With more than 60 artists from all across the world, Illustrative brings together an inspiring cornucopia of visual contemporary culture in the Villa Elisabeth located in the heart of Berlin. Illustrative showcases an international scene of artist-designers, whose works have been inspired by subculture movements like comic and graffiti as well as by applied arts like illustration and book art. The exhibition explores the merging of infinite materials and techniques in widely unprecedented combinations, which challenge learned ways of seeing - e.g. the latest development, where illustration and graphics are translated into the third dimension, or new narrative strategies in 3D-animation. event (ended) current design events more Illustrative 2009: Illustrative Art Festival Returns to Berlin design directory Illustration Events added by Levent OZLER |

 Milton Glaser's SVA: a Legacy of Graphic DesignSchool of Visual Arts (SVA) presents "Milton Glaser's SVA: A Legacy of Graphic Design," a 50-year retrospective of nearly 100 works created by the legendary designer for the College, where he has been on the faculty since 1960 and currently serves as acting chairman.The exhibition will include the original artwork for the iconic posters seen by generations of New Yorkers as part of SVA's ongoing subway campaign, preparatory sketches that will be on public view for the first time, and rare printed pieces like the 1963 announcement for the course Glaser taught at SVA with the late art director Henry Wolf. The exhibition is curated by Steven Heller, design historian and co-chair of the MFA Design Department, and Mirko Ilic, designer and faculty member in the MFA Illustration as Visual Essay Department. Beth Kleber, SVA's archivist, researched and compiled the works in the exhibition, which is designed by Francis Di Tommaso, director of the Visual Arts Gallery. "Milton Glaser's SVA: A Legacy of Graphic Design" will be on view at the Visual Arts Gallery, 601 West 26 Street, New York City, from August 31 - September 26, 2009. To many, Milton Glaser is synonymous with American graphic design. He co-founded the revolutionary Pushpin Studios in 1954, founded New York magazine with Clay Felker in 1968, established Milton Glaser, Inc. in 1974, and designed the famous "I LOVE NY" campaign in 1977. event (ended) current design events more Milton Glaser's SVA: a Legacy of Graphic Design design directory School of Visual Arts > Design Education added by Levent OZLER |
 Infographythm: Create a Visual Report on Your August 09Infographythm, a project coordinated by CarreRotondes and the non-profit organisation Design Friends, was conceived along the same lines as the Graphythm exhibition - an alliance of graphics and rhythm - which was organised within the walls of the old Exit07, and within the framework of the UE project "Luxembourg and the Greater Region, European Capital of Culture 2007."For this new edition, information graphics will be honoured. The participants - coming from the world of design (graphic designers, photographers, etc) - will be asked to perform a task, at the very least unusual, in the midst of the professional summer break: create a personal activity report for the month of August. It will be a question of creating a report - by means of 'information graphics ' understood in the original definition of "information provided through graphic design" - of a personal activity, from the more trivial enumerating of the daily routine in slow motion to the more extravagant seasonal experiences, an activity which will extend throughout August and whose results and values will be translated and assessed by means of diagrams, curves and other schema. The codes of bureaucratic graphic design (often related ...) will thus be reinvested in a light hearted way, but in a resolutely aesthetic process underlining the somewhat ridiculous and superfluous aspect of the endless activity reports which are propagated at the end of the year. competition (ended) current design competitions more Infographythm: Create a Visual Report on Your August 09 design directory Graphic Design Awards added by Levent OZLER |
