From 2 - 4 PM on March 24, Dana will share stories from her professional journey in graphic design, along with images of her work, followed by Q/A. Participants will receive basic instructions on hand lettering, followed by a short chalk exercise at The Community Chalkboard and Podium (the chalk wall located outside Cityspace on the downtown mall). Following the workshop, participants will receive digital photo of themselves in front of the collaborative design.
Dana has been commissioned by clients such as Google, Yahoo!, Rugby Ralph Lauren, The Ace Hotel, Tommy Hilfiger, West Elm, and Bloomingdale’s. In 2011, she was named a Young Gun (YG9) by the Art Directors Club and a Young Creative to Watch by HOW Magazine. In 2012, Dana had the unique honor of creating custom cover art for O, HOW, and TIME Magazines.
This workshop is $10 and open to the public. Mudhouse coffee and Sweethaus mini-cupcakes will be provided. (Yum!)
