Step in the lab!
AIGA Las Vegas invites you to join Master Alphabetician Chank Diesel to create our very own font, which will be called “Nuclear Vegas.” You’ll delve deep into the type designer’s mind and hear how Chank smashes atomic particles of inspiration and dedication to come up with explosively expressive new letter forms. Following his presentation, it’s experimentation time as attendees take turns in the lab improvising their own letter forms with supplies provided. You can see a video of similar workshops at http://www.youtube.com/user/chankfonts.

Better living through science!
After the workshop, Chank will digitize the letter forms into the Nuclear Vegas font that will be available only to attendees for the first 3 months following its release. After that, it will become a free download from Chank’s website. By attending, you could also win a copy of Adobe Font Folio Education Essentials from Adobe Systems, containing 500 fonts or appear in Chank’s video that will be shot during this event. Chank will also be signing limited editions posters during the workshop.

See the giants of our age!
Before the event and during intermission, you can be inspired by the winners of Mohawk Show 9. Mohawk received entries from in-house and independent design firms across the globe and the winners wil be on display for your inspirational enjoyment.
