Every year we host an annual community project where designers from all over DFW work on a card design that culminates into what we call The Deck. that This year, 54 AIGA members designed cards around a “Wild Animals” theme, which will be shuffled into a playable collection presented in packaging designed by our friends at Bottle Rocket Studios.
We have plenty of fun things planned. Listen to Blanks Printing and Olmsted-Kirk talk about the making of The Deck 2020, as well as inspirations on how to turn your designs into printed creations. Play a round of wild animal trivia with us, and celebrate all the talented AIGA members who contributed to the project.
During the pandemic, our chapter continued to provide virtual events for our members, but since we couldn't fly in speakers and greet you with drinks and snacks, we were able to save some money. As a thank you for the continued love and support you’ve shown us through this challenging year, all active members will receive a FREE copy of The Deck 2020 delivered to their home! Additional copies will be available to all for purchase after the event.
