We all love typography, sure, but where do you go to get help if you're new to the game, or stuck on a project, or just bored with your font library?

Well guys, I’m speechless. Last night’s Cocktails with Creatives was an absolute success.

There are some amazing speakers scheduled for the Salt Lake Design Week opening PechaKucha event on October 14th. We couldn't be more proud that our very own former AIGA board member, Dallas Graham, is going to be presenting. Dallas created Red Fred Bodoni and The Jolly Troop 5 years ago and has been telling stories with them ever since. Dallas has produced a number of personal and community driven projects and initiatives (like Beehive Braintree) and can't seem to turn off his "idea" switch. His newest endeavor is truly inspiring, The Red Fred Project, a culmination of three of his favorite things: narratives, hope and children. He plans to co-author 50 books by 50 critically-ill children in 50 states. To help achieve this, Dallas has created a Kickstarter campaign which is about to head into its final 48 hours. We asked Dallas a few questions about the project and he was more than delighted to answer.

A few weeks ago we had our annual AIGA SLC Board Retreat, an intense 2 days in which we went over the past year's events and began to plan the year ahead. We were fortunate to host the 2012 AIGA Leadership Retreat back in May and the energy and excitement that we experienced was transferred into our own programming for the upcoming year. AIGA is changing on a national level in many exciting ways and we would like for our 2012–2013 plans to reflect this spirit.
