AIGA KC Launches Weekly Blog Series
On 24, Apr 2009 | No Comments | In Design Life, Interview Series | By Lorraine
Well, I feel horrible for neglecting my blogs of late: both here and my entries over at Stickers and Donuts. (Sorry, Maria!!) To tell you the truth, between blogging, starting a personal twitter, and keeping up AIGA KC’s twitter, Facebook, and Linked-In pages, I’ve just gotten a bit overwhelmed on the social media front. So this past week I (inadvertently) cut back, but I think I’m getting back into the swing of things.
On the whole, this was for a good cause. I spent the better part of the last month gearing up for the Grand Re-Launch of a new blog series on AIGA KC’s blog. Last week I launched it with a tour of our national offices: AIGA’s National Design Center in New York City. While job-hunting there last month, I was able to set up a tour with George Fernandez who is in charge of Membership. I was also able to meet both Jennifer Bender (who heads up the Social Networking Task-Force that I am a part of) and Lydia Mann for a lunch to discuss social media tactics for AIGA. This week’s post in the Series (I’ve yet to come up with a good name…) is an interview with Michael Bierut of Pentagram. Head over there and check it out. Next week, I’ll be posting Part One of my interview with Brand New‘s Armin Vit of UnderConsideration. We had an excellent chat during my trip to NYC: so much so, that I’ll have at least two posts out of our discussion once I’ve finished transcribing it.
