After Movers & Shapers I knew without a doubt (really) that things could not get any worse. Believe me, I'm not setting you up here. I am not being predictable. Things literally could not get any worse. So I decided to head down to the
Roundhouse to see
Kwantlen's Graphic Design for Marketing graduation show. And you know what? It was fabulous.
No admission. A free catalogue. Free finger food from
Urban Fare. And cold $4.00 beer (a selection of 4 instead of 2 from
Granville Island Brewery). And I got to see the work which was really well presented and some of which I was quite fond of.
Some of the names that really stood out for me were: David Arias, Sarah Klassen, Sarah Lucow, Camille Raschpichler & Brandon Johnson.
A couple of bonuses. While there I learned
Stefan Sagmeister is doing a talk in Vancouver on May 9. Talk about design rock and roll. I also bumped into Chrystal Thompson of
Ecstatic Designs and Jeremy Van Nieuwkerk of
Vann Creative. We got to catch up which was pleasant.
