Join Michael Gericke, a partner at Pentagram NY, and AIGA WI as we discuss the search designers go through to find the best ideas. Michael’s images and programs are known for their simplicity and clarity, and often portray the essential qualities of the object or topic he is representing. The presentation will also include an inside look at select Pentagram projects - including posters, identities, exhibitions and environmental graphics - and even sneak peaks of several in-progress projects.

Don't forget to register here for a very special Morning After breakfast with Michael the next day, Friday, February 25.
