Dreams & Schemes
Friday, January 15–Sunday, January 17
Society of Typographic Arts—“Do-It-Yourself” Winter Conference
Jim Lienhart did it with his “California Dreamers”. Michael Cronan did it when he formed Cronan Artefact, a product development, manufacturing and marketing company, producing his well-known “Walking Man” line of apparel. The STA’s own Bob Zeni conceived, designed, produced and distributed his Planting Cycle Guide on the heels of his award winning line of hot sauces. In fact, many famous, and not so famous, designers have taken a stab at bringing their product ideas into reality. After all, as designers we create and develop product ideas for our clients, why not develop products for ourselves?
