Fresh Dialogue Five : New Voices in Graphic Design by Nicola Bednarek

Five years ago, the American Institute of Graphic Arts launched “Fresh Dialogue,” a series aimed at bringing together emerging design talent and providing them with an open forum to discuss their own work and the direction of the field.

This year’s participants come from the disparate worlds of fashion, publishing, web design, advertising, and art: Alice Chung and Karen Hsu founded the design firm Omnivore and have collaborated with the Whitney Museum and the Princeton University School of Architecture. Agnieszka Gasparska has produced award-winning work for LEGO, the American Museum of Natural History, and the Experience Music Project. Rodrigo Corral has pursued a fresh look for fiction in his book covers for Farrar, Strauss & Giroux and independently for Rodrigo Corral Design. Alan Dye was design director and partner at B.I.G. (Ogilvy & Mather’s Brand Integration Group) before joining Kate Spade as design director.
