Varick by Travich

I sat down with Varick Rosete, the President of AIGA Jacksonville to talk about the Always Summer Poster Show / Fundraiser.

Participants are asked to pick their favorite summer song and turn it into a piece of art in poster form. A live local DJ will be performing the songs compiled from the artists’ selections to set the tone for the night! Participating designers will have the chance at some killer prizes by winning Jax Choice awarded by popular vote. You don’t have to be a member to come have some fun!

I'm a a strong believer in the concept that graphic design can change the face of a city. Good design can raise a city up to the next level visually and brand-wise. Listen to Varick and I talk about the mission of the AIGA and the local Jacksonville Chapter.

I've known Varick for the past couple of years. We worked together at nGen Works, where we found out we had the same Meyers-Briggs personality type. He's a rad dude and awesome designer.
