After a long and intense campaign, we've convinced one of our favorite designer friends Ben Benjamin to come teach a one day design workshop. Ben is a man of many talents, but may be best known for his endearingly confusing and confusingly endearing website, superbad.com. "Wait" you say "Wasn't that in the 2000 Whitney Biennial"? Yes. Yes it was.LinkIf you’re not a designer but are sometimes called upon to design things, this class is for you. We’ll walk through a typical design process and along the way we’ll learn some basic tips and tricks, design strategies, and some broad design principles. The goal is not so much that you will become a good designer in one day, but more that you will learn how to avoid some of bad design’s biggest traps.
Verily, this class will surely be the phlogiston that fuels your ascension to dizzinging heights of fame and success.
August 5th, Saturday. 10am to 5pm (lunch break from 12-1). $65
As always space is limited, sign up early to avoid disappointment.
