Adobe Presents:
ADC Young Guns Live: The Backstory
SPEAKER SERIES
 |
"DIY" - Thursday, October 4, 2007, 7 pm
Featuring Chris Rubino, Studio18hundred, and TBD
Want to take a break from your clients? An original Young Gun and a new Young Gun create work for themselves. Their self-motivated projects deliver satisfaction, win awards, and push creative boundaries. They will show examples of their work and talk about how these projects drive, and perhaps, inspire the work they produce for clients. Join us to learn how two mavericks translate inner vision into new directions.
"Frame by Frame" - Thursday, November 1, 2007, 7 pm
Featuring Floto+Warner, Christopher Lane, Asif Mian, and Justin Gignac
Five Young Guns share "frame by frame" fresh new images. They shoot in any medium, resulting in work that sits comfortably in several categories or in none. See how these image creators break down traditional boundaries, using every medium and tool available. Join us for a visual feast of new images.
