SPOT08 Presents Sean Adams Student Showcase + Portfolio Review + Special Guest

Sean is a partner at AdamsMorioka. He has been recognized by every major competition and publication including; Step, Communication Arts, Graphis, AIGA, The Type Directors Club, The British Art Director’s Club, and the New York Art Director’s Club. A solo exhibition on AdamsMorioka was held at The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and Adams has been cited as one of the forty most important people shaping design internationally in the ID40. Sean is the national president and past national board member of AIGA, and past president of AIGA Los Angeles. He is a Fellow of the Aspen Design Conference, and AIGA Fellow. He teaches at Art Center College of Design. Sean is a frequent lecturer and competition judge internationally.

AdamsMorioka’s clients include ABC, Adobe, Gap, Frank Gehry Partners, Mohawk Fine Papers, Nickelodeon, Sundance, Target, USC, and The Walt Disney Company.

Here at AdamsMorioka, over the past ten years, we’ve made mistakes. Big mistakes. Some were a collision of events that hit like a train wreck. Some were self-produced. All of the mistakes were motivated by fear. When is fear appropriate in design? Are we on the Love Boat, or Voyage of The Damned? How do we know the difference? Where are the lifeboats?

Mentorship Program Exhibit
A special case where being covered in spots looks real good. IN the AIGA Mentor Program, student members and professional members are matched and collaborate over four months to encourage creative and professional growth. SPOT is the culminating event for the program and the resulting work is the spotlight for the evening. The winning work is given a $500 scholarship presented by AIGA Orlando!
