Welcome to the STA: an unpretentious, refreshing design group, a place to get involved and be heard, an association of design professionals with personality. The STA is THE Chicago Design Community.
Welcome
06/20/09 SNAP Chicago '09
This year's SNAP Chicago will be a south side adventure. As some of you know, SNAP Chicago has become an STA tradition. It is a way for us to get together and express ourselves and our interests both photographically and verbally. The idea is simple. Get a bunch of designers together and have them use their eyes and ears to express themselves. It's a simple and uncomplicated day. We meet for breakfast then split up and photograph the area. Then we meet for lunch, download our photos, and – voiles – laugh and talk about our experiences.

Archive09 is here! Enter now.
That’s right, friends, it’s that time of year again. Time to see if all those early morning press checks and that late-night pizza by computer glow have paid off. Time to stock the 2009 shelf of the Chicago Design Archive with the best work the Chi has to offer. Archive09 picks the most BA design in Chicago and archives it for decades to come. Can your work cozy up with the likes of Paul Rand or our very own Rick Valicenti? We’d love to see!
