AIGA/Austin- Design Ranch 2007: The Magnificent Seven
There were brides kidnapped by brothers, a ball player named mickey, even magnificent cowboys and magical dwarfs. From whiskey to world wonders to sin, seven is what legends are made of, and now its our turn. Announcing Design Ranch 2007. We’re celebrating SEVEN years of re-inspiration with SEVENTY-TWO hours of creativity on SEVEN hundred acres.
Beyond workshops, Design Ranch offers the kind of entertainment you can only find in Texas. You can’t beat the live music, and requisite dancing each night (and some mornings), swimming and canoeing on the Guadalupe River just 100 yards or so from our workshops, golfing, hiking, tennis, jam sessions around the campfire (bring your guitar, drums, harmonica, or other musical fare), roping demonstrations, horseback riding, massage, facials, and good old fashioned jaw-jackin’ with the best bunch of folks you’ll ever want to share a weekend with. Not to mention all the great stuff we’re still cooking up behind the scenes!

Pentagram Partner Paula Scher comes to Dallas!
For more information see the Dallas AIGA web site
Paula Scher of Pentagram has developed identity and branding systems, promotional materials, environmental graphics, packaging and publication designs for a wide range of clients. Drawing from what Tom Wolfe has called the “big closet” of art and design history, classic and pop iconography, literature, music and film, Paula creates images that speak to contemporary audiences with emotional impact and appeal. Three decades into her career, these images have come to be visually identified with the cultural life of New York City.
Leadership in Paper and Design Seminar
The links between Global Warming and the Paper, Print and Graphic Design Industries start in the forest, one of the Planet’s great protections against Global Warming. The choice of paper that you sell, print , design and use can impact significantly on climate change and the loss of the earth’s biodiversity. YOU can and do make a difference.
AIGA Nitty-Gritty TeleForum
Do you want to expand your client base but don’t know where to start? Are you struggling with helping prospects understand how your design work can help them grow their businesses? Or perhaps you’ve been spending time and energy going to networking meetings but not getting any good new clients
for your efforts?
If this sounds familiar maybe all you need is a little focus. Having a tight focus or specialization for your design business does not mean you can’t do other work, it just makes it a whole lot easier to find new prospects and turn them into
paying clients.
