Did you enjoy yourself at Compostmodern in January? Or wish you could have been there? Either way, some recent related developments might interest you: Highlights of the event can be found on the Compostmodern 08 website. Videos and podcasts from the event can now be seen on the AIGA SF chapter website (more videos to be posted throughout April). One of the more noteworthy announcements of the day was AIGA’s endorsement of The Designers Accord ; you can ratify that document yourself by visiting the website.
