At the invitation of our former student Constance Smith, we had the honor of speaking about our studio practice and the writing of our new book Symbols at Frog Design in San Francisco. Our friends from ARCH were again on hand to sell copies of Symbols, and we followed the lecture with a book signing.
Founded in 1969 in Germany, Frog is a global design consultancy with offices in New York, Munich, Milan, Amsterdam, London, Shanghai, and Sydney.
We are thrilled that our anti-Trump poster was acquired by both the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg and the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam in February. These are the fourth and fifth European museums to add Trump 24K Gold-Plated to their design collections.
Still no word from any of the American curators we sent the poster to…

Our book, Symbols: A Handbook for Seeing, is reviewed in “Why Symbols Matter” by Kelsey Campbell-Dollaghan via Fast Co.Design!
Both Trump 14K Gold-Plated and Trump 24K Gold-Plated were selected for inclusion in the 2017 Annual of the Type Directors Club, Typography 38. (It was designated a “Judge’s Choice” by juror Spencer Charles.) In addition to being exhibited in New York City, our posters and the other winning entries will tour cities in the United States, Canada, China, England, France, Germany, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Poland, Russia, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Congratulations to Kirk Johnson, the first recipient of the recently endowed Angie Wang and Mark Fox Graphic Design Scholarship! (This was a five-year effort on our part.) Kirk embodies the quality of student at CCA that our scholarship was intended to support. We look forward to celebrating with future recipients!
