PDXpo: The Portland 2008 Design Expo

 
About the Keynote
AIGA Portland is pleased to present Alicia Johnson and Hal Wolverton, Executive Creative Directors at Euro RSCG in New York. Yes, we know what you're thinking. PDXpo is about the Portland design community. And no, Johnson + Wolverton, the seminal studio founded by our presenters, no longer keeps a Portland address. But there is no question; the studio's footprint has sustained, the work endures, and the community of designers with whom the couple has worked flourishes. Right here. Join us Thursday, March 27 at PCPA as Alicia and Hal reflect on Portland, and present the work their firm created for Amnesty International, the Sundance Channel and Miller Genuine Draft, among others. Experience the work of their notable collaborators; the designers, artists, agencies, directors, animators, photographers, writers and musicians who call Portland home. And take a peek at how their next chapter in New York--by shaping Jaguar and more of the world's most memorable luxury brands--is playing out for two of our city's most formative design icons.

KEYNOTE BEGINS AT 8:10 p.m.

About the Expo
PDXpo means many things to many people. In its third year under the banner of PDXpo, AIGA Portland is excited to provide this showcase to the creative community. The Expo is an opportunity to stay connected with Portland's most notable graphic arts vendors and service providers and get real-world answers to design questions; from education, to ink and interface. Join AIGA's Portland chapter for hors d'oeuvres and a beverage (or two) during the Expo and mingle with the local design community. The Portland Design Expo starts at 5:30 p.m. at Portland Center for the Performing Arts (PCPA),
