Welcome Back
The website experienced some major downtime this Summer that absolutley did
not get taken care of in a timely fashion due to a certain incompetent someone named Samir. Sorry about that.
The first official meeting of comm+DESIGN will take place on Wednesday, September 17 in Studio 351 McLauren. For anyone who doesn't know, McLauren is the building between Tillman (the tower) and Rutledge (the art building). See you all there!

Astonishingly, Stefan Sagmeister has only learned twenty or so things in his life so far. But he did manage to publish these personal maxims all over the world, in spaces normally occupied by advertisements and promotions: as billboards, projections, light-boxes, magazine spreads, annual report covers, fashion brochures, and, recently, as giant inflatable monkeys. In this presentation Sagmeister throws his diary, a lot of design, and a little art together with a pinch of psychology and a dash of happiness into a blender and pushes the button. It tastes surprisingly yummy.

Upcoming Events
Hey Everyone! Just wanted to give an update of upcoming events and happening with the group. For those who missed the last meeting, officers will remain the same for next year. Also, we talked about fundraising for bringing in a fall speaker...for this to happen we will need much support from EVERYONE! Thanks to those of you who paid your dues this semester and help make the talks with Leigh Brinkley and MODE possible. :) We hope to do the same next year! If I don't see you, good luck with exams/final projects and enjoy the summer!
