Don’t you think graphic design is boring? Although the industry has never experienced such mass cultural awareness—Helvetica in the movies, a movement to ban Comic-Sans, personalizing our apartments with screen-printed ephemera and torsos with personally curated t-shirts—every public design panel, conference and gathering is a self-congratulating snooze-fest.

Well not anymore, my friend.

We’re pleased to announce another edition of Chicago’s first and only live talk show centered around design. The Show ‘n Tell Show is a late night-style show where the guests are the city’s most dynamic designers, photographers, illustrators and poster-makers. They each present a single project in a lively evening full of drinks, laughs and design.

After a year at The Whistler, due to over-capacity at the last few shows, we’re moving on over to Schuba’s. Accordingly, the show will be bigger and badder than ever, in Schubas beautiful performance space.

The next show is our best yet. Guests include:

Ivan Brunetti (Schizo, Fantagraphics)
Billy Bauman (Delicious Design League, live from Flatstock Seattle)
123 Clap (Members of the M’s, video/music experiments)
Jeremiah Chiu & Renata Graw (Plural)
Ross Zietz (Threadless)
Davey Sommers (The Post Family)
Elaine Fong (Elaine Fong Design)
