LIFTER BARON… THE JUDGE

By: Lifter Baron

As you can all see, the crew is slowly and most positively taking over the planet. You might be asking yourself, “why is Lifter Baron a judge at an AIGA event?” Well, the answer is simple actually. People love me! HA! It’s actually a combination of a lot of things. Knowing really cool, kind and connected people helps, along with living in a town where you get to be recognized quite rapidly for your enthusiasm and consideration. But enough about my shiny smile and my gorgeous locks of whisker hair. The real idea is that, although this is only an AIGA event, it’s still a great sign that certain people are doing everything they can to make things better. Getting people involved is a great first step. Make sure to keep your ears clean and your eyes peeled, there will be plenty more updates on the outcome of the Design Jam 08 competition and Lifter Baron’s skills in the judge’s box!

LIFTER BARON… THE JUDGE

 

DESIGN JAM 08

By: Lifter Baron

Slowly but surely the Denver / Boulder design scene is inching its way towards new and exciting levels, not only in the talent department but in involvement as well. Here in the next couple weeks the local AIGA is host to a live design challenge event that highlights local designers at their best. How the challenge works is 3 contestants will be chosen to take a station and will find a design related problem to solve. The challenges are limited to 15min each and solutions will be unique to each designer. Their every move will be watched on large format projection screens and be judged in multiple categories by 3 separate judges. Then, the top scored designers will be invited to a final showdown in hopes to win some amazing grand prize. The event is called Design Jam and will be held at Denver’s Plus Gallery on 24th & Lawrence. Included in the soirée will be music and drinks too… Cost for entry is $5 AIGA members (RSVP) and $20 non-members(RSVP), student non-member $15, student member no cost. Mark the 16th in your calenders and be ready to get nasty from 6-10pm. If it makes you feel any more interested I, Lifter Baron will most definitely be there for autographs and small talk… Oh and I’m one of the 3 judges! So get your asses down and get involved. See AIGA link for more details.
