DESIGN & THINKING (Sponsored by AIGA Honolulu)
Thursday, 6/21, 9PM & Sunday, 6/24, 7PM
Design Thinking was applied as a term and methodology in 2008. It was received as a tool to solve every problem, from daily life decisions to business challenges to world hunger problems. Attention and debates followed; some insisted on design education in all K-12 schools, some declared it to be nothing more than just marketing tool, some hoped it would turn his company into Apple.

LIONESS AMONG LIONS—THE ARCHITECT ZAHA HADID
Thursday/June21/7PM & Sunday/June24/9PM
Prestigious, yet controversial, English-Iraqi deconstructionist architect and designer Zaha Hadid has won numerous awards ranging from the Pritzker prize in 2004 to the Praemium Imperiale in 2009. This film documents some of her most acclaimed international projects while providing insightful commentary from Guggenheim Foundation’s Tom Krens, architect Patrick Schumacher, and photographer Helene Binet among others.

URBANIZED (Sponsored by HONBLUE)
Friday/June22/9PM & Saturday/June23/7PM
From Gary Hustwit—the director of Helvetica and Objectified—comes Urbanized, a documentary about the design of cities, which looks at the issues and strategies behind urban design and features some of the world’s foremost architects, planners, policymakers, builders, and thinkers.

POOL PARTY
Friday/June21/7PM & Saturda/June23/9PM
Pool Party is the story of a once-abandoned swimming pool in Brooklyn, the largest of which New York City has ever seen, that sat empty for two decades before becoming the site of one of the most unique music venues in the world to date. The film wittingly utilizes the story of McCarren Pool as a backdrop to trace the underlying path of urban gentrification in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

The film features venue footage of performances by the Yea Yeah Yeahs, Sonic Youth, and the Beastie Boys among many others during the chronicling of this unique venue’s final season.

November 21, 2011 – April 21, 2012

http://aigahonolulu.org/HI50/index.html

This year marks the 9th Annual AIGA Design Learn & Become (LAB) Workshop, which will take place March 24-25 at Mililani High School.

The AIGA Design LAB’s objectives are to give young students from various high schools across the island hands-on experience in learning the fundamentals of graphic design, the design process and the importance of the role of a graphic designer.

Local practitioners facilitate group sessions for a weekend workshop, allowing students to brainstorm concepts, sketch layouts, present ideas and compose the final designs on the computer. In the process, students learn how to stimulate their creative thinking and how to problem solve, as well as to hone their presentation and verbal skills.

Help us spread the word by liking it on Facebook.

If you would like to help out by lending your expertise to the program, please email Leslie at vicepresident@aigahonolulu.org

The Printing press died an unexplained, sudden death.
Unfortunately, Print knew its death was imminent…because in the last few decades, Print was clouded by a sense of doom and deemed a relic by the public.

Tabloids report alleged cause of death as:
Rise of the Internet, loss of revenue, information junkies. You name it.

Accomplishments:
Promoted education and literacy, advanced history and science, christened the Agent of Change. Need we say more?

Was also a member of AIGA, Pantone Mix Masters, FSC, and Oprah’s Book Club. Preceded in death by Magazines, Newspapers, Print Ads.

AAF-Hawaii and AIGA Honolulu presents a HIFF Movie night
featuring the film
THE VISUAL LANGUAGE OF HERBERT MATTER
sponsored by Electric Pencil

THE VISUAL LANGUAGE OF HERBERT MATTER is a revealing look at the fascinating life story of the highly influential mid-century modern design master. Known as a quintessential designer’s designer, Swiss born Herbert Matter is largely credited with expanding the use of photography as a design tool and bringing the semantics of fine art into the realm of applied arts.

Inspired by Russian constructivists and taught by artists such as Fernand Léger, Le Corbusier, and A.M.Cassandre in Paris in the late 20s, Matter designed a series of cutting-edge Swiss travel posters that won international acclaim for the pioneering use of photo-montage combined with type. Always striking a balance between fine art projects and commercial work, the taciturn designer found his own unique language, which resulted in the creation of such iconic works as the corporate identity for Knoll Associates and the New Haven Railroad.

In today’s commercialized and oversaturated world, the documentary directed by Reto Caduff lets luminaries such as Robert Frank, Massimo Vignelli, Alvin Eisenmann, Steven Heller, Elaine Lustig Cohen and others explain why Matter still matters. Through never-before-seen footage, personal photography and stunning graphic design work, the film explores the social and cultural impact of his personal visual langauge that influenced a whole generation of designer and artists.

Probing Interview Workshop
With Professor William F. Sharkey, Ph.D
Friday, September 17, 2010
4:30–6pm

UH Art Building, Room 341
University of Hawai’i at Mānoa

About the Workshop
Professor Sharkey of the Department of Speech at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa reminded the students of this important rule: when you are interviewing a client about a design project, remember that you are not only selling your organization, your company, or your school, but you are selling yourself.

Design students from HCC, KCC, and UH Mānoa attended the Probing Interview Workshop to learn to become efficient and appropriate probe interviewers when designing for a client. They were also able to apply the skills that they learned by engaging in a one-on-one, simulated probing interview with Professor Sharkey.

About Dr. Sharkey
Professor Sharkey’s research focuses on the use of intentional embarrassment as a social tool. He has studied why and how people deliberately embarrass themselves and others and what the consequences are for doing so. Additionally, professor Sharkey has continued research in two other areas of interpersonal communication: (a) the interaction patterns (both vocal and visual behaviors) of blind and sighted conversationalists and (b) cultural differences in the way people communicate with each other.

Professor Sharkey teaches a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses that deal with interpersonal communication. Specifically, he regularly teaches courses in conflict management, communication in helping relationships, strategic communication, interviewing and interrogation, and family interaction. He was awarded the Board of Regents Medal of Excellence for Teaching in 2006.

Professor Sharkey is presently the Editor of Communication Reports, a journal of the Western States Communication Association.

Professor Sharkey is also active in the community; he provides workshops and presentations which focus on conflict, listening, and interviewing skills.

Education?
Ph.D. in Interpersonal Communication (Ohio State University, 1990).?M.A. in Communication Theory (Ohio State University, 1987).?B.A. in Speech Communication (Glassboro State University, 1985).?A.A.S. in Interpreters Education (Community College of Philadelphia, 1982).

AIGA Honolulu and Electric Pencil present “ART+DESIGN” at the 2009 Hawaii International Film Festival from October 15-25 at Regal Dole Cannery Cinemas.

DIED YOUNG, STAYED PRETTY

OCT23, 8:30PM . OCT24, 9:00PM
Eileen Yaghoobian, Director

DIED YOUNG, STAYED PRETTY peels back the paper curtain and looks behind the scenes of the underground poster movement. These graphic banditos roam the streets, plastering their work to every available surface. Under the guise of advertising rock shows, these unheralded masters of the silkscreen and xerox machine carry on public discourses on the merits and pitfalls of fried cheese and gritty porn.

ART & COPY

OCT22, 7:00PM . OCT23, 3:00PM
Doug Pray, Director

ART & COPY is a powerful new film about advertising and inspiration. Directed by Doug Pray, it reveals the work and wisdom of some of the most influential advertising creatives of our time – people who’ve profoundly impacted our culture, yet are virtually unknown outside their industry. Exploding forth from advertising’s “creative revolution” of the 1960s, these artists and writers all brought a surprisingly rebellious spirit to their work in a business more often associated with mediocrity or manipulation.

AIGA Honolulu and Electric Pencil present “ART+DESIGN” at the 2009 Hawaii International Film Festival from October 15-25 at Regal Dole Cannery Cinemas.

OBJECTIFIED

OCT21, 6:15PM . OCT23, 1:00PM
Gary Hustwit, Director

OBJECTIFIED is a feature-length independent documentary about industrial design. It’s a look at the creativity at work behind everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets. The film documents the creative processes of some of the world’s most influential designers, and looks at how the things they make impact our lives. What can we learn about who we are, and who we want to be, from the objects with which we surround ourselves.

MILTON GLASER: TO INFORM AND DELIGHT

OCT17, 8:30PM . OCT20, 11:30AM
Wendy Keys, Director

From newspapers and magazine designs, to interior spaces, logos, and brand identities, to his celebrated prints, drawings, posters and paintings, the documentary offers audiences a much richer appreciation for one of the great modern renaissance men. Artfully directed by first time filmmaker Wendy Keys, the film glances into everyday moments of Milton Glaser’s personal life and captures his immense warmth, humanity and the boundless depth of his intelligence and creativity.

AIGA Honolulu presents another

“Why We Brand, Why We Buy”

Lecture by AIGA President Debbie Millman

What makes a brand stand out? Is there some magic that turns a simple script logo for a soda into the international graphic icon that is Coca-Cola, or makes us salivate over the latest product from Apple?

In this presentation, Debbie will take a keen look at the influence branding has on our everyday lives, from branding ourselves and the world around us to the role branding plays in the products we buy and the way we live, and discuss the following:

• What are the five waves of modern branding? Debbie will explore each one, focusing on the brands that defined each period.
• How human evolution and population trends are linked with branding.
• How technology has changed the way we interact with each other, and with brands.
• What it takes for modern brands to stand out in a crowded marketplace.
• How branding connects with our basic instincts.

Debbie has worked in the design business for over 25 years. She is President of the design division at Sterling Brands. She has been there for fourteen years and in that time she has worked on the redesign of global brands for Pepsi, Procter & Gamble, Campbell’s, Colgate, Hershey and Hasbro. Prior to Sterling, she was a Senior Vice President at Interbrand and a Marketing Director at Frankfurt Balkind.

Debbie is President of the AIGA, the professional association for design. She is a contributing editor at Print Magazine and she teaches at the School of Visual Arts. In 2005, she began hosting the first weekly radio talk show about design on the Internet. The show is titled “Design Matters with Debbie Millman” and it is featured on the Voice America Business Network.

She is also the author of two books, “How To Think Like A Great Graphic Designer” (Allworth Press, 2007), and “The Essential Principles of Graphic Design” (Rotovision, 2008). Her new “Look Both Ways: Illustrated Essays on the Intersection of Life and Design” will be published by How Books in Fall of 2009.

He is focused on applying the best practices to truly understand unique communities and respectfully reflect that understanding in the built environment.

FORM FOLLOWS CULTURE

He is one of the co-founders of the AIGA Center for Cross-cultural Design and is San Diego’s first AIGA Fellow honoree. His firm, Bennett Peji Design, focuses on helping revitalize organizations, cities and cultures through district branding. Peji is the recipient of the Arts, Business and Culture Award from the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, the Outstanding Professional of the Year Award from the Filipino-American Chamber of Commerce and the Asian Heritage Award for Cultural Preservation from Asia Media. Besides business and community service awards, his firm has received over 200 design awards.
