For all of our East Coast creative types: On April 19th at the ADC Gallery, The Art Directors Club of New York will be hosting the first of a four-part lecture series that explores the history, hurdles, goals and aspirations of recipients of the ADC Young Gun Award (a bid-deal international competition that identifies the most promising innovative new talent in all fields of visual communication). The first event of Young Guns Live, “The Women Vanguard,” is taking place April 19th at the ADC gallery and will feature designers like Stella Bugbee and Deanne Cheuk. While I would certainly love to sit in on that, I think the biggest source of inspiration for attendees may come from the hour-long Adobe Creative Suite 3 tutorials that will precede each lecture. Because the event is sponsored by Adobe, I bet that the tutorials will be super helpful in figuring out all the neat-o tricks they packed into their latest design bundle. Take a look at the full flyer here for all the info on this and future lectures.
