April events of interest


The Atlanta chapters of the AIGA and PDMA are hosting events in the very near future that may be of interest to IDSA members.

How to win at the product name game."
Hosted by the Product Design Management Association, Atlanta

As cofounder and naming director of 800 Degrees, an Atlanta-based brand consultancy, Mark Speece will cast some light on the steps to take and the obstacles to overcome in the name process. His explanation will provide both an insight into “how the big guys do it” and practical, usable information that should make your next naming project a bit less daunting."

Where: Georgia Tech College of Management (Atlanta,GA)

Stefan Sagmeister - "Things I Have Learned In My Life So Far"
hosted by AIGA Atlanta

"Astonishingly, Stefan Sagmeister has only learned twenty or so things in his life so far. But he did manage to publish these personal maxims all over the world, in spaces normally occupied by advertisements and promotions: as billboards, projections, light-boxes, magazine spreads, annual report covers, fashion brochures, and, recently, as giant inflatable monkeys. In this presentation Sagmeister throws his diary, a lot of design, and a little art together with a pinch of psychology and a dash of happiness into a blender and pushes the button."

When: April 23, 2008, 6:00 PM (EDT)
Where: Zoo Atlanta: The Coca Cola World Studio (Atlanta,GA) 
Cost: AIGA Members: $20 / AIGA Student: $15, Non-Members: $40
Registration:  Register now with AIGA Atlanta.
