Former "ASP" Student Wins Award

Congratulations to one of my former "Art as Social Practice" students, Fred Lameck, who is this year’s American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) Design Continuum Fund Recipient. Fred collaborated with his fellow student, Nora Mosley, on their social practice project, Gender Without Boundaries. He’s currently a Senior Manager at Witeck Communications, working with corporate clients, and he also works with non-profits like the Human Rights Campaign, GLAAD, and PFLAG. I am extremely proud to see that Fred’s “passion for social justice and gender issues,” clearly evident in his collaborative “ASP” project with Nora in Fall 2014, is still continuing. Kudos, Fred!

Here’s a Q&A with Fred on the AIGA-DC web site: 2015 Design Continuum Fund Recipient.

We want to take the visual language we know from the internet and use it to motivate people to not get distant from the real  world. What can be more memorable and meaningful than a hand-written note or a signed photograph? Instead people today leave comments and birthday wishes in the Internet. 
By using the like button, the heart button, and photographs as tangible objects we would like to help people make their words a lot more meaningful.
