Join 2011 Stars of Design winner for Graphic Design, John Van Hamersveld for a discussion on the influence of graphic design on today's culture. A legendary designer of symbolic and iconic art throughout his 50 year career, John is an artist and designer known worldwide for his enormous catalog of iconic music industry and pop culture-related images.
The discussion will include an exploration of John's new 150 page book My Art, My Life and an examination of the 50 year collection of John's graphic design works, covering from 1961 to the present day.
John’s album artwork includes such legendary covers as The Beatles’ Magical Mystery Tour, Jefferson Airplane’s Crown of Creation, The Rolling Stones’ Exile on Main Street, The Grateful Dead’s Skeletons from the Closet, KISS’s Hotter than Hell, Steve Miller’s The Joker and Fly Like an Eagle, and Blondie’s Eat to the Beat.
All of this impressive work was done before Photoshop was invented.
John will give a talk and tour of his show on April 6 at 11:00 a.m. at the Blue Conference Center in Suite B259 as part of the PDC's ongoing Designer Lecture Series. John's pop-up gallery is in Suite B200. The Designer Lecture Series is free of charge.
