25 Years of AIGA


For a class assignment we have to design a piece that celebrates as well as educates the community about AIGA. After visiting AIGA LA's website I found some useful information. AIGA was founded in 1914; however in 1983 it was founded in Los Angeles by Deborah Sussman, Saul Bass, Jim Cross and others. The president of AIGA is Michael Lejeune who currently works for Metro creating the ads, maps, wesite, and environmental graphics.

AIGA also has a Fellow Award which was founded in 1999. The award recognizes mature designers who raise the standards of excellence within their local or reginal design community. The organization now represents more than 22,000 design professionals, educators, and students.
