B'more Urban Forest Project Closing Exhibit Saturday Night

The closing reception for the Baltimore Urban Forest Project is tomorrow night, Saturday, June 28th. 

Other than this City Paper article I can't recall any other press about this city-wide, multi-dimensional undertaking, which is odd considering how "hot" green is with the media. The design community has been aware of this for months, of course, and it's just slipped mind to mention it here.

There will be posters available for the six top vote getters based on on-line voting. Those winners are here. I wouldn't call them the best, just the most popular. I'd take a Kevin Sprouls or a Dani Stitz poster, but the rest, no. 

My other favorites are from Jocelyn Anderson, Viviana Cordova & Joseph Galbreath, Eamonn Donnelly,  Jenn Julian, Jann Rosen-Queralt, Whitney Sherman, and Lindsay Story. I regret not posting a "Best of" when they first went up. Here are all the banners.

I found it odd that some of the bigger names in town (Ashton, Spur, etc.) did not participate. Hopefully, that means they've got too much paying work.
 
See you there Saturday evening!

Book Release Event Tonight!























MICA is hosting a book release for Ellen Lupton (author, graphic designer, curator at the Cooper-Hewitt, and director of the MFA Graphic Design program at MICA) and Jennifer Phillips (graphic designer and associate director of said program). 

Their new book, "Graphic Design: The New Basics" is out now. Meet the authors and students who contributed tonight at MICA's Brown Center from 5:30 to 6:30 PM. It's free. I'm guessing the book will be available for purchase.

If you can't pick one up tonight, the book is for sale, in Baltimore, at the MICA bookstore and Atomic Pop.

Lecture Tonight!

Jon Berry, creative director & motion graphic designer/animator will speak tonight, 7 PM, at the Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery at UMBC in Catonsville. It's free. More on the event here.
