“With the help of the AIGA PUSH Grant, The “Design Is” newsprint was produced and distributed at the 2013 Chicago Design Youth Forum hosted by Project Osmosis. The Design Youth Forum is an all day event that  brings together 100+ high school students from the Chicago Public School District to participate in design focused workshops. Our AIGA Mentor group gave a presentation to the attendees of the forum about our “Design Is” project. We also lead a graphic design workshop where we explored how poster design can create a positive change within our environment and community. The whole experience was incredibly fulfilling – we were humbled and thrilled to distribute our project to the students, share with them our experiences working in the creative field and connect with them one-on-one.” – The “Design Is”
