| 2011-07-05 Call for Entries - 2011 AGDA Poster Annual |
The theme for the 2011 AGDA Poster Annual is “Inspired by Music”. Entrants are invited to be inspired and interpret this theme however they wish. Music is perhaps the oldest of humanity’s creative endeavours. It is both an art form as well as a type of communication. The world over music is a source of entertainment, celebration, worship and expression. The diversity of music reflects the soul of the world and binds us all. We all experience music at emotional and cultural levels. It offers us our finest moments and records our trials and our joys. This is the power that we hope you can capture.
The AGDA Poster Annual 2011 is open to both professionals and students from any field of design as well as those practicing in design-related fields. Entries may be submitted on an individual, collective (i.e. studio/agency) or collaborative basis, providing a clear description of authorship is supplied with each submission.
Entries close August 12th.

| 2011-03-09 Asian Graphics Now! introduced Chen Zhengda Design Works |
A visual exploration of graphic design from Mumbai to Tokyo
Asia is home to roughly 60% of the world’s population—around 4 billion people in over 50 countries—yet the continent covers less than 9% of the world’s surface. With China and India leading in growth and Japan being the most technological place on the planet, Asian graphic design has a lot to contribute to creativity around the world. The aesthetics that have developed in the region, blending tradition and a forward-looking approach to contemporary culture, cannot be seen anywhere else. In contrast to major players Japan and China, countries like Korea, Singapore, India, and Thailand also offer a very individual take on the use of graphics, typography, and many other in many related areas.
Featuring the best and the most recent advertising campaigns, posters, brand-design projects, corporate identity, package design, and editorial design, Asian Graphics Now! is an inspirational and important book for any creative student or professional.
The editor:
Julius Wiedemann was born in Brazil, studied graphic design and marketing, and was an art editor for digital and design magazines in Tokyo. His many TASCHEN digital and media titles include Illustration Now!, Advertising Now, Logo Design, and Brand Identity Now!

| 2010-08-06 »sushi 12«of ADC introduced Chen Zhengda Design Works |
Neben den Gewinnerarbeiten dreht sich auf den 286 Seiten von »sushi 12« alles um »das Neue«. Martina Hessler, Professorin an der Helmut Schmidt Universität Hamburg spricht vom Fetisch des Neuen und erinnert an das Alte. Der Chefredakteur des SZ-Magazins, Dominik Wichmann, fordert auf, die Skepsis gegenüber dem Neuen abzulegen. Jörg Petruschat, Institutsleiter an der Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft Dresden, erklärt, dass es eigentlich nichts Neues gibt und warum wir trotzdem daran glauben. Anna Berkenbusch, Professorin von der Hochschule für Kunst und Design in Halle, hält radikale Änderungen des Blickwinkels für das beste Konzept, um auf neue Ideen zu kommen und ADC Vorstandssprecher Jochen Rädeker erklärt, warum Unzufriedenheit für Designer so wichtig ist. Und Bi Xuefeng, einer der renommiertesten Designer Chinas, spricht über die Schwierigkeiten, Erneuerungen in der chinesischen Kreativwirtschaft voranzutreiben. Neben den Gastbeiträgen werden in »sushi12« außerdem weitere chinesische Designer und deren Arbeiten vorgestellt.

| 2009-09-23 Book named Modern Chinese Design introduced Chen Zhengda Design Works |
Book Description:
As the world's oldest continuous civilization and most populous country, with its remarkable history, rich culture, diverse ethnic groups, and fastest-growing economy, China got an unprecedented level of world-wide attention today. More and more new and interesting designs with the unique artistic charm that can not be regarded as the products of direct Western influence have been emerging. All of the amazing works featured here were selected from the representatives of the most famous and excellent designers in China, who have been leading the trend of the contemporary Chinese design. Besides, the designers' insightful views, the smart comments for each project and the bio of each designer can be found from the book. No doubt the book is a one-stop guide to the today's Chinese design scene (from graphic to other fields-related) and a perfect book for readers to grasp the essence of Chinese cultures.

| 2009-09-20 POST__: CONTEMPORARY INTERNATIONAL POSTER RETROSPECTIV |
Theme: POST__
“Post__: Contemporary International Poster Retrospective” focuses on avant-garde concepts in international graphic design, illustrates the contemporary landscape of poster design, and explores alternative possibilities of poster design as a medium for communication. As a retrospective study in the “post-poster media age,” the exhibition aims to analyse, reflect and shed new light on contemporary graphic design.
“Post__: Contemporary International Poster Retrospective” will exhibit 300 award-winning posters from the past 30 years. The collection will demonstrate an exploration of global cultures and styles: a selection of posters from previous international graphic design competitions (donated by partner organisations) will be shown, as well as iconic Chinese posters produced after 1978. Such curatorial blending lends a unique documentary-like characteristic to the exhibition, making it one of the most inimitable retrospectives to take place.
As one of the prime design events of the Icograda World Design Congress Beijing 2009 ( HYPERLINK "http://www.beijing2009.org" www.beijing2009.org), “Post__: Contemporary International Poster Retrospective” will take place in China’s National Center for the Performing Arts (NCPA). It will expose the contemporary scene of poster design to both Chinese and international design professionals, as well as the general public, and hopes to instigate design dialogue between Eastern and Western audiences.
Time：
The exhibition will take place on Oct 26–Nov 26 2009. An exhibition catalogue will also be launched, whilst the exhibition itself will tour other cities around China following the event in Beijing.
Venue：
The exhibition will take place in the gallery of the NCPA’s Underwater Corridor. The NCPA itself, designed by renowned French architect Paul Andre, is a new cultural and artistic landmark at the heart of the old city of Beijing. Its modern structure and facades add vibrancy to the rapidly changing urban scenery traditionally occupied by the Great Hall of the People, Tian’anmen Square and the Forbidden City.
NCPA’s largest venue, the 2,398-seat Opera House, boasts the most advanced staging equipment. The Concert Hall, with 2019 seats, provides outstanding acoustics, whilst the drama theater, with 1035 seats, is equipped with hi-tech audio-visual equipment. Approximately 10,000 people visit the National Theatre daily; potentially, tens of thousands of visitors will come to see the works on show. NCPA is open from 8:30am to 10:30pm everyday.
Background：
Hosted by the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA), the biennial Icograda World Design Congress will be held in Beijing, China for the first time. From 24-30 October 2009, some 100 speakers and thousands of delegates from around the globe will gather in a cross-disciplinary Congress, with communication as its central theme, offering five days of exchange and dialogue within the international design community.
Icograda is the world body for professional communication design. Founded in 1963, it is a voluntary assembly of organisations concerned with graphic design, visual communication, design management, promotion, education, research and journalism. Icograda promotes the vital role of communication design in society and commerce, and unifies the voices of graphic designers and visual communicators worldwide.
The theme of this year’s Congress is “Xin.” Literally signifying human speaking, and hence Message/Letter in Chinese, Xin represents a primitive means of communication. Today, however, it has come to encompass many more dimensions. Under this theme, the Icograda World Design Congress Beijing 2009 will explore contemporary issues surrounding communication design through a series of presentations, discussions and pre-Congress workshops.
