Why Be A Designer Lecture + Book Signing with Paul Sahre
Doors open at 6:30PM | Lecture begins at 7PM followed by book signing

Having just finished writing a design memoir (Two-Dimensional Man: A Graphic Memoir, published by Abrams Press, September, 2017) Paul is ready to share some of what he has learned during his first 52 years on planet earth (30 as a graphic designer). Paul will use examples of his own work for wildly imaginative clients: directors, writers, musicians, and artists (as well as a series of seemingly unrelated life experiences) to arrive at an (un)expected conclusionthat ultimately, the designers life is one of survival. A process of questioning, inventing, failing, dreaming, and ultimately making.

Paul Sahre is one of the most influential graphic designers working today. He has doggedly remained independent, operated his own practice since 1997. He is a frequent visual contributor to The New York Times, designed book covers for authors such as Chuck Klosterman, Malcolm Gladwell, Ernest Hemingway, and Clarice Lispector, authored books, and built and destroyed a life-sized monster truck hearse for the band They Might Be Giants. Paul received his BFA and MFA from Kent State University and has taught graphic design at the School of Visual Arts for the past 13 years. He lectures extensively all over the world and is a member of Alliance Graphique Internationale.


Books will be available for purchase at the event through Peter Miller Bookshop.


This program is brought to you by Civilization, The Seattle Public Library, Paul Sahre, and Abrams Press.
