In this era of Mad Men and advertising ingenuity, this powerful new film about advertising and inspiration, Art & Copy directed by Doug Pray (Surfwise, Scratch, Hype!) reveals the work and wisdom of some of the most influential advertising creative’s of our time. People who have profoundly impacted our culture, yet are virtually unknown outside their industry. Exploding from advertising's "creative revolution" of the 1960s, these artists and writers all brought a surprisingly rebellious spirit to their work in a business more often associated with mediocrity or manipulation, featuring brilliant campaigns for everything from cars to presidents. Visually interwoven with their stories, TV satellites are launched, billboards are erected, and the social and cultural impact of their ads are brought to light in this dynamic exploration of art, commerce and human emotion.
This film has been generously sponsored by Tactica Interactive Communications.

UX Design for the web is a hot topic, but far too often we find it too hard to pin down so we just touch the surface and don’t explore the depths. As it is becoming something of a de facto standard it is in our best interest as interactive designers to understand the discipline. No longer something that has to always be hugely complex and costly, we’ll cover the “back to basics” approach to UX design in this workshop. - April 30Location: Emily Carr
