The man, the myth, the legend is coming to Milwaukee.

Aaron James Draplin of Draplin Design Co. is pulling his big orange van into town to talk some sense into AIGA Wisconsin's 2017 Portfolio Review class as the featured keynote speaker. Not only will he provide "advice" to the up-and-comers, but he'll have some big ideas to share with designers, creative directors, guidance counselors and anyone who gives a hoot about making damn good design. Buckle up, because this is gonna be fun.

If you've got free time that afternoon (or PTO days to burn), then sign up for Draplin's "Make a Logo the DDC Way" Workshop at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and learn the ins and outs of how Draplin approaches logo design. Yeah, it's kind of a big deal.
