ChatSGB: The Lighter Side of Stefan G. Bucher
Join AIGA CT and the Quinnipiac University School of Communications in an engaging discussion with Stefan G. Bucher, author of 344 Questions, All Access - The Making of Thirty Extraordinary Graphic Designers, and You Deserve A Medal, and creator of the animated series Daily Monster, as he touches upon how the design world has changed vastly over the past decade. By using two of his current projects as a guide, he will lead the audience through his creative process:
The audience will see how a prominent designer lives his life—a glimpse of this person at this moment of his life—with both entertainment and educational value. Stefan will speak about his commercial peak, realigning personal and professional priorities, and detoxing from hustle culture. Following the presentation will be a Q&A session with Stefan.
As an added bonus, participants will have the chance to win a free portfolio critique with the acclaimed graphic designer by entering their name into a raffle!
