Design Week Birmingham 2013

I had the pleasure of being involved in the planning of Design Week Birmingham 2013 which took place in October. This was a week and a day packed with non stop design goodness. Events included the Sign Painters Documentary on the art of hand painted signs followed by a Q and A with one of the film’s makers Faythe Levine, a Design Pop up Show showcasing local and regional talent including yours truly (notice my Peppermill above), a PechaKucha / Rapidfire event where 20 creatives from a varierty of disciplines presented 20 slides at 20 seconds each, a Printers Fair, and the opening of Vaguard Views exhibit at the Birmingham Museum of Art. The capstone event was hosted by local comedian / illustrator / designer Christopher Davis and included talks by the Architect John Peterson of Public Architecture and Designer Charles S. Anderson.
