Yes, That Was an mStoner Employee You Saw at the Annual AIGA Members Meeting
One of the things I am trying to do as Design Director for mStoner is increase our visibility and reputation within the design community. I believe that raising the bar for what we do with our own design work will help raise the bar for design throughout the field of higher and secondary education.
To support this goal, I attend AIGA events representing mStoner, such as the Chicago Annual Member Meeting last Thursday, hosted at the Museum of Contemporary Art4. During the reception5 I ran into some old friends including Andrew Dembitz of Unisource (who used to help me out on a variety of print projects), Andy Eltzroth2 of Tandemodus (who I attended IU with), Mike Biersma7 of Biersma Creative (that’s him on the left and me on the right), and last but not least, Joseph Essex6 (former employer and an early mentor of mine) of Essex Two.
Art Paul1, former creative director of Playboy, and Jilly Simons3 of Concrete were honored as AIGA Fellows this year. One of Art Paul’s main contributions to the design community is his very progressive approach to the use of illustration and fine arts as a way of framing editorial content. In over 20 years as principal of Concrete, Jilly has earned celebrity status (at least in design circles) for intelligent, compelling work.
