SUMMARY:Arcana Book Signing for Mick Haggerty: MXWX
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Arcana on Saturday\, February 1st\, between 4:00 and 6:00 PM to celebrate the publication of MXWX\, the new release by venerable Los Angeles creative treasure Mick Haggerty! \nMXWX — Mick’s Works — is a more or less comprehensive compendium of the various visual works imagined and fabricated by Mick Haggerty over the past half century. Upon moving to Los Angeles from London in 1973\, Haggerty quickly established himself as a go-to record industry designer\, illustrator\, art director\, and later music video director. He has won a Grammy for the visual packaging for Supertramp’s “Breakfast in America” along with designing iconic covers for David Bowie\, The Police\, Electric Light Orchestra\, The Go-Go’s\, Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers\, Jimi Hendrix\, Nazareth\, Public Image Ltd.\, Keith Richards\, and many\, many more. His editorial illustration includes covers for Time\, Vanity Fair\, New York Magazine\, and New West Magazine. \nThis beautifully illustrated tome additionally features contributions by Gary Panter and Steven Heller along with a stunning archive of Mick’s personal work — much of which is reproduced here for the very first time. Produced in an edition limited to one hundred and fifty hand-numbered copies\, this is sure to sell out quickly\, so come join us for a fun and refreshment filled afternoon with the esteemed Mr. Haggerty. \nIf you cannot attend and would like to purchase a SIGNED copy of “MXWX\,” please place your order at arcanabooks.com.

SUMMARY:AIGA Hosts and Art Deco Lettering Workshop with Nick Misani - Afternoon Session
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, February 10th from 2:00 to 6:00 pm\, we are excited to partner with AIGA to host an Art Deco hand lettering workshop with Nick Misani. This four-hour class will quickly cover the foundations of lettering and briskly segue into dramatic uppercase letterforms\, unexpected ligatures\, geometric scripts\, and ornamentation. You will learn three Art Deco hand lettering styles to prepare you for your final project: a postcard for a 1920/30s jazz club. \nYou’ll leave the workshop with:\n–  A lettering piece that is both fresh and on-trend (while still being rooted in history) and ready for its Instagram closeup.\n–  A general knowledge of this glitzy time in design history as well as a list of resources to continue learning about Art Deco typography and design.\n–  All the skills you need to infuse the rest of your work with some Jazz-Age glamour. \nTICKET PRICING\nMembers (Sustaining & above): $140\nMembers (Contributing & Supporting): $175\nNon-Members: $200\n(Workshop is limited to 24 students.) \nPURCHASE TICKETS \nPARKING & TRANSPORATION\nPublic and street parking is available.

SUMMARY:AIGA Presents "Designers Are Not Makers" at the Helms Design Center
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, March 15 please join us as we welcome AIGA to the Helms Design Center for a series of discussions and presentations for the design community. \nThe first topic\, “Designers Are Not Makers”\, addresses the growth we have witnessed in “maker” culture\, leading to increased access to the tools and information needed to tinker\, program\, and build custom products and solutions. Manufacturing can now happen on a desktop as easily as in a home workshop. The benefits of stepping away from a computer to work with your hands continues to gain influence in business and culture. Yet\, with all the focus on making\, it is the designer who gets celebrated once the “making” becomes mass production. \nQuestions to be discussed:\nAs digital technology continues to insert itself into our daily lives\, what is the role of the tactile?\nWhat is the importance of physical creation in a world of digital technology\, virtual reality\, 3D printing and rapid prototyping?\nAnd where does the act of designing stop\, so the role of making can take over? \nAgenda\n6:45 PM: Meet & Greet\n7:30 PM: Introduction\n7:35 PM: First Speaker\n8:05 PM: Second Speaker\n8:30 PM: Q&A\n8:50 PM: Closing Remarks\n8:55 PM: Giveaways\n9:00 PM: After Party \nTicket Pricing\nMembers (Contributing & Supporting): $15\nMembers (Sustaining & above): Free\nNon-Members: $25 \nRequests for cancellation refunds may be granted only up to 24 hours before the event starts. \nAbout The Speakers \nAndrew Byrom is a British-born designer and educator based in Los Angeles.
