Icon 5

Spur Design is pleased to announce its partner level sponsorship of ICON5, the illustration conference to be held in New York City in July 2008. Little ole Spur joins other partner level sponsors such as Adobe, theispot, MICA and Xerox in supporting the most anticipated illustration conference yet. As a part of our support, we are producing the poster, program and mini-schedule. If you've seen the poster, you can imagine how excited we were to see Edel Rodriguez's great illustrations arrive in our studio.

The program will include even more art by a talented group of illustrators including Whitney Sherman, James Sturm, James Yang, Martha Rich and Luba Lukova.

We hope to see you at the conference!

One Maryland One Book 2008

Spur Helps Launch Maryland's New Statewide Reading Program
Saturday, June 14, we welcomed the launch of the statewide reading program One Maryland One Book. The goal is to get all of Maryland reading and talking about this year's book, A Hope in the Unseen: An American Odyssey form the Inner City to the Ivy League, by Ron Suskind. We've been busy designing and illustrating the teacher's guide, reader's guide, poster, logo, bookmarks, stickers, and even the seven foot banners for the campaign.

Dave signed posters to help kick off the year long campaign at the Enoch Pratt library. Maryland's first lady, Katie O'Malley hosted the event.
