Design Authority, David Barringer speaks at LAC

David Barringer's presentation on “APPRECIATING DESIGN FROM START TO FINISH” was a great event for all students and visitors of the College. Mr. Barringer has worked within and around the mainstream book & magazine publishing world for nearly two decades.

Mr. Barringer has amassed a great deal of experience, industry contacts and know-how about book design, printing, publishing, sales, and marketing by following his career in this manner. He has full control over his final product, the book, and its dissemination. He does it all, the writing, the editing, the cover design, the typesetting, and everything else involved in publishing a book.

"David was very interesting," reported Lena Corter, Interactive Media Arts Instructor, "his insight was helpful for students looking for a unique perspective on design and creative careers."







Students got a special treat when David decided to visit many of the classrooms for intense one-on-one art directing sessions with the students on their current projects.

"So many new ideas I have now...about where I can take my project and new directions I'd like to try" - Nathan Wellman, Interactive Media Arts Student.





Along with a series of studio visits, famed author and design expert David Barringer spoke to students the evening of May 4, 2010 and May 5, 2010 in the Stars Theatre at Living Arts College. David Barringer's visit was one of many this quarter at Living Arts College - stay tuned for more!
