Patrick Coyne, editor and designer of Communication Arts magazine and director of CreativeHotlist.com, will be visiting St. Louis on April 8th at the Steinberg Auditorium at Washington University. AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Arts) St. Louis will host this event Wednesday, April 8th at 6:30pm.

Founded in 1959, Communication Arts is the premier source of inspiration for graphic designers, art directors, design firms, corporate design departments, advertising agencies, interactive designers, illustrators and photographers-everyone involved in visual communication. Whether in print or online, CA's editorials, feature articles and the annual competitions it sponsors provide new ideas and information, while promoting the highest professional standards for the field. Now in its 50th year, CA continues to showcase the current best—from industry veterans to tomorrow's innovators—in design, advertising, illustration, photography and interactive media.

Coyne will discuss the history and philosophy of the magazine, how CA's competitions work and how creatives are chosen for profiles in the magazine. He will also present a selection of award-winning design and advertising projects produced on limited budgets and discuss the future of creativity in the post-information age.

Communication Arts is an excellent read every time I receive an issue. It is a great magazine to pick up and have for inspiration. If you are a student, reduced subscriptions make it easy to get your copies delivered at an unbeatable price. Why subscribe to a paper magazine? It is a sure fire way to hold onto the information and help the people who put their work into print.
