2023 AIGA Design Conference: general session livestream

Yet interactive technologies have been slow to catch up to the needs and wants of this growing group of users. Their distinct yet diverse perspectives are challenging to embrace for designers, especially younger ones. I elaborate on how mindfulness is at play in the conceptualization and design of each application in order to help users find communities, stay on top of their self care, and connect better with their families. Through sharing these results as well as contextual and technical considerations, I shed light on a slower approach to user-centered design for digital products that anticipate our lives as we age.

Media Contact

This event serves to enlighten our guests through educational content on the capabilities and diversity of media, print applications, embellishments, and technologies used to distinguish print today. This event is geared towards designers and creative professionals who want to learn more about the applications and capabilities of digital printing. This includes the benefits of digital technologies, like personalization and sustainability, as well as digital embellishments such as white ink, raised effects and digital foil. For this event we ask that you submit a design file 2 days prior to the event to have it printed for free and picked up at GSB Digital.

Her essays have been published in the United States (AIGA Voice, Design Observer) and Iran (Neshan). Roshanak’s artworks have been exhibited in museums and galleries nationally and internationally and featured in books and magazines (Fiber art Now) and newspapers (NYTimes). Born in The Bronx, New York to resilient immigrant parents from Tunis, Tunisia, and Baghdad, Iraq, she has a deep passion for dissecting identity and culture through a creative lens. Khadijah loves learning and is a proud visual arts graduate of Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School in New York City, a Barnard College Alumna in Middle Eastern Studies, and (much later on in life) a Shillington College graduate in Graphic Design (London Campus). This is a discussion and examination of concerns, hopes, and aspirations of design educators regarding the current state of design education, and an exploration of how the DEC can better support them.

School of Visual Arts

Growth takes many forms in a designer’s career, and design mentorship is one of the most impactful forms of learning. Mentorship introduces new perspectives and connections for mentors and mentees alike. From exchanging career experiences to navigating the creative industry landscape, designers have relied on mentorships to grow their design practice. The AIGA NY chapter has organized one of the biggest design mentorship programs in the US, with 960 total participants since 2019. You will hear from AIGA board members who run and participate in the program in this panel and gain insights about how mentorship opens minds and doors for everyone.

Student Resources

This presentation looks back at the project’s development; how the system expanded over the years; unique systems that it inspired; and whimsical adaptations of individual icons. Technologically, politically, socially, we live in an age of unprecedented change, experiencing extreme transformation and rapid shifts as never before. These ever-accelerating developments fundamentally affect the way we live, work, create, posing equally major challenges and extraordinary opportunities. Pick up your name badge and say hi to fellow attendees at the lobby of the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel. Please note, a name badge is strongly encouraged for any add-on activities you have registered for.

Explore our collection of resources for freelancers, business owners, design educators, students, in-house designers, and other design professions. Louise Sandhaus is a graphic designer and faculty at California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) and the founder and co-director of The People’s Graphic Design Archive, a crowd-sourced virtual archive that expands, diversifies, and preserves graphic design history. This Design Dialogue will focus on where design education is situated today.

As designers, we’re called to initiate, interpret, and interrogate constant and abundant change within our career paths, our organizations, and the industry at large. Moving between these scales of change can be disorienting, requiring new navigational abilities, and demanding intentional stewardship of self, community, and practice. As designers continue to swoon under the thrall of new technological tools and data-driven processes, something is being lost. People are not “users,” efficiency is for robots, and getting the most downloads or likes is not the sole marker of success in design practice. In this presentation, we will explore the impact of internet memes on user behavior and emotional expression, and how technology and social media companies are applying "meme thinking" to their online experience design.

Engage & Learn

You will also enjoy a guided plant tour of the amazing GSB Digital facility for demonstrations of various printing equipment. Cooper Union’s Herb Lubalin Study Center is a treasure-filled archive of graphic design ephemera spanning 125 years and four continents. Join the Center’s curator Alexander Tochilovsky for a special presentation for the AIGA conference attendees of a selection of material from the archive. The event will give participants a rare opportunity to see and handle the objects and to hear the often hidden stories behind them. It will give you a whole new outlook on design history and leave you with a richer perspective of the design practice.

Almost all of the environmental issues showcased in these posters remain or have worsened. Nevertheless, these impactful images have shaped the bounds of public debate on environmental issues, drawing attention to distinct and particular concerns. We asked Frank Martinez, a lawyer who specializes in intellectual property for designers, illustrators and typographers, and who provides counsel to AIGA, to answer some pressing questions on IP and fair use. Utilize our selection of contracts, legal guides, and business planning resources to become a design industry entrepreneur.

We are grounded in required information, yet we yearn to tell new stories and fuel new growth. This presentation will share the research method and process from early stages of asking a question–"Where are all the Iranian Women Graphic Designers?"–to investigation, networking, collecting and archiving historical and visual data. We're excited to bring together two titans of museum design who are working with profoundly different systems that sent shockwaves through cultural design when they launched and continue pushing the field today. We look forward to hosting a conversation that envisions a future where AI amplifies human creativity. Discover insights that reframe perceptions and navigate the path to leveraging AI's capabilities while preserving the essence of human innovation.

Seattle, WA—The AIGA Design Conference is the place for the diverse and ever-changing design community to gather together, inspire, and explore how design can and will change the future.
