    Ha Mai from Fur Face Boy will be speaking at his alma mater, UT Arlington, on March 8th @ 5pm in the Fine Arts Building Room FA148. He will be giving out a couple freebies during his presentation and selling t-shirts afterwards so we hope to see everyone there.

    Ha Mai is the mind, soul and heart behind Fur Face Boy, an apparel line based out of Dallas, TX. He studied and received a BFA in Graphic Art/Design from the University of Texas at Arlington. After years of working for design studios, agencies and in-house design groups, he decided to leave the comforts of a settled career to start his own brand and to fully have 100% control of his life.

    Thank you to everyone who came out to the Carlos Segura lecture and to Pauline who made it all happen. Also a huge thanks to Carlos Segura for coming to UTA and inspiring us as we continue on our path to a career in visual communications. We look forward to having other events such as this one, so continue to support AIGA. If you couldn’t make it, you missed out on a great opportunity but we look forward to seeing you at our future events.

    Join us for this amazing event at 5pm on Wednesday, October 5th in the VRC (Visual Resource Commons). This will be a Skype event with Friends of Type that is not to be missed. Friends of Type is a typographic/lettering sketchbook, archive, dialogue by Aaron Carámbula, Erik Marinovich, Jason Wong, and Dennis Payongayong. The four have worked together at various institutions and in various roles, recognizing in each other a shared interest in quality design and, in particular, in well crafted type and lettering, but with unique perspectives and talents towards achieving that standard. What they created in late 2009 as a “creative outlet, void of client ‘input’ and a place to have fun” has turned into the hot-spot of inspiration for self-proclaimed type-nerds and design lovers alike.

    If you have any questions, feel free to contact us. We hope to see you there, thanks.
