This week we discuss at lenth the Chicago International Poster Biennial (hereby pronounced “bee-ennial”), which eventually turns into a bunch of whining about rock posters again. We welcome Superstar Designer Drew Davies to the show for the first time ever since the last show and rock it out. Not discussed: neon signs. Peace.

Created with Admarket’s flickrSLiDR.

Post your entries to the 2008 Chicago International Poster Biennial on Flickr and join our group.

Thousands, perhaps millions of posters will be entered and only 100 will win, so we at 36 Point wanted to showcase as many of the entries as possible to help celebrate poster designers around the world. This gallery is built to house those.tif files that are required of the entry process, so once you send yours off, load them up!

If you don’t have a Flickr account and hate free things that are awesome, post a link to your entry (jpegs please) in our comments and we’ll see that it gets added to the group. Please be sure when adding images to our group, to set their permissions to “public.”

Winners will be announced by the CIPB in the Fall of 2008. Good luck!

This week the Design Observer announced the CIPB. “Seehpppppbt?” Okay, that’s not an acronym’able name. Let’s call it the Chicago International Poster Biennial, which is a first (while other IPB’s exist, this is Chi-town’s first), and is free to enter. While on the one hand, I’m excited, on the other, I’m hoping not to be let down.

The Reflex Blue Show with Nate Voss and Donovan Beery, Episode 9: Music Meets Creativity

This week: Music Meets Creativity with special guest — Graphic Design’s DJ — Steve (RDQlus) Gordon.

Rarely do you see the designer today without their iPod (or, if you’re one of those people, your Zune) plugged in, filling the gaps in their creativity with their music. While we spend the first few minutes being a little Radiohead-centric, Steve, Donovan and I eventually discuss the parallels of creation great design to creating great music, what music is great for design and what music can kill a creative mood, and why the Halo 3 soundtrack is actually awesome and Donovan needs to shut up about defunct 80’s rock. Enjoy The Reflex Blue Show Episode 9 with a cold one and your favorite playlist.

The Reflex Blue Show with Nate Voss and Donovan Beery, Episode 8: Bennett Peji

This week we welcome special guest Bennett Peji to the Reflex Blue Show, and what an enjoyable show it was! We’re always thrilled when we get a chance to sit down with the best in the business (just listen to the first 3 minutes for Bennett’s resume. You will suddenly feel somehow inadequate), but even then it’s a rare treat to find designers as passionate and excitable about their work as Peji. He specializes in urban and district branding managing multi-million dollar projects with potentially hundreds of clients, but got his start by opening his own graphic design company while he was still a senior in college to do a single logo. The man’s got what we like to call range.

Thanks again to Bennett for being on the show, and we’ll see you next week!
