Tom will be presenting at PechaKucha Chicago Vol 24 on December 4. For those who’ve never been to a PechaKucha night, various presenters talk about a myriad of things, but all talks have one thing in common: 20 images, 20 seconds each. Tom’s talk will be about the influence of pop culture [movies, music, etc] on design and architecture.

Katelyn Smith from our office designed the Vol 24 poster, a mix of stencil, spray paint and digital manipulation.

Be sure to come out to the show, it promises to be a wonderful night!

OAI, Inc asked marquardt+ for help with a large-scale poster to be displayed at the national workforce organization conference. The posters at these events tend to be text-dense and not terribly lovely to look at, so they really wanted their poster to stand out. The goal for this poster was to showcase two worker training programs provided by OAI: one focusing on training minority workers and the other on training workers that must deal with hazardous waste.
