Design within reach
You can thank the members of the ADAC for bringing Patrick Coyne to town.
In 1959, Richard Coyne and Bob Blanchard published the first issue of Communication Arts magazine, a trade journal for the visual-communications industry. Within six months, the magazine’s paid circulation grew to 10,000. Today, the publication is the leading visual-culture magazine, showcasing the top work in graphic design, advertising, illustration, photography and interactive design. This Tuesday at 6:30 p.m., the Art Directors and Artists Club (ADAC) will host a lecture with Patrick Coyne, the publication’s editor and designer. During the lecture, which is titled “Graphic Design Today: Avoiding the Mullet,” Coyne will focus on a selection of award-winning design and advertising projects. “Creatives” will learn about the magazine’s annual competitions and how creatives are chosen to be profiled. Tickets for the event are a mere $10 for general admission and $5 for students. The lecture will be held at the Sierra 2 Center, located at 2791 24th Street. Call (916) 731-8802 or visit www.adac.org for more information.
