Find Inspiration With Finely Crafted Beer and Design (Thursday Oct 13th)

When: Thursday Oct 13th @ 6:00 PM)

Where: IT-oLogy (map)

What: Beer Tasting & Design Talk

The event is free to everyone, however if you want to participate in the beer tasting it’s $12. Just to cover the cost of your beverages.

If you like finely crafted design & printing then you’ll love it when it’s paired with finely crafted beer. Our next meeting is a mixer between the South Carolina AIGA and our little RefreshColumbia group. We’re going to be doing a full on beer tasting mixed with a talk from Nick Wilson of The Half & Half design & print making studio.

The Design Talk

Nick Wilson will be talking to us about the “craft” of design and printing – something he knows tons about. Plus he’ll be showing off some really amazing work for us. Nick Wilson attended The University of South Carolina, graduating from the graphic design program in 2007. The Half & Half studio opened above Sid & Nancy, in Five Points, later that year. They’ve since moved to 2119 College St.

Their work is as passive, yet aggressive as their dynamic. A discordant, nevertheless familiar arrangement leaves the viewer with the sense of a profound tensile strength; ferocious, like a hungover lion…The female one, they are actually the hunters, which is surprising…At least to this reviewer. I mean, they have no mane, you know?* – The State

The Beer Tasting

We’ll be pouring five beers of inspired design representing a broad spectrum of styles, from the brightest gold to pitch black. Tickets for the beer tasting are set at $12 – you can still enjoy the evening as the event is free to everyone.

Your Beer Sherpa for the evening:

Brian Cendrowski is the newly elected president of the Upstate Brewtopians homebrew club. He’s been a homebrewer and beer blogger since 2007 and has been honing his taste buds to the deliciousness of craft beer for over 10 years. After being inducted into the Columbia Flying Saucer’s Wall-of-Fame as plate #40 in September 2004, he realized his life’s calling and has pursued great beer ever since.

AIGA SC InShow 2011 Entries Open Now

InShow WoodThe AIGA InShow is a statewide design competition in South Carolina.
Entries are now open and drop-off sites are set up in Columbia 09.16, Charleston 09.12 and Greenville 09.13 to make it easy for us to submit our work. The competition is now open to anyone who works in the design field, not just AIGA members – which is cool.

A little background: the competition was designed to be the “Anti-Addy’s,” meaning that instead of having a huge category structure with many tiers and multiple awards, InShow’s concept was a simple one: You’re either “In” or you’re “Out.” Once submitted, work is divided up by category and three judges from outside of the South Carolina market decide their fate by judging it either “In” or “Out.” Judges are not given quotas, or rigid judging requirements, so the show totals and types of entries vary from year to year.

There are some pretty cool judges this year, who are really hip to interactive work. So you should seriously consider entering this year.
