Simon Sees: Eye Magazine Creative Director Speaks in Chattanooga Monday, October 05, 2009
Tomorrow night, British editorial designer Simon Esterson will be at green|spaces to discuss the state of design in Europe and to sit in on a panel discussion over “The Future of Print.” Beginning as the launch art director of the architecture and design magazine Blueprint, Esterson went on to become the creative director of Italian architecture monthly Domus. He is now creative director and part owner of Eye Magazine: The International Review of Graphic Design.
Esterson is brought to town as a joint effort between local design firm Widgets & Stone and AIGA Chattanooga. Widgets & Stone designer Joseph Shipp, who met Esterson in Luxembourg earlier this year at the international magazine symposium Colophon, says “We are bringing Simon to speak to local designers and design aficionados because we love Eye, and we love Chattanooga.”
Simon will speak at 7 pm tomorrow night at green|spaces. “The Future of Print” panel discussion will follow Esterson’s presentation and include several Chattanoogans involved in publishing: J. Kevin Tugman of custom magazine publisher Sunshine Media, Zachary Cooper of the Chattanooga Pulse, and David Morton of the blog Chattarati.
Anyone and everyone interested in design or publishing should attend this very special opportunity to get a global perspective on both. $5 for AIGA members and students (with student ID) or $10 for the general public. Food and drinks will be provided.
