RMCAD: Mary Harris Auditorium

Rick Valicenti is the founder and director of Thirst / Chicago. Art, function, and design is the focus at Thirst. In October 2006, Rick was presented with the highest honor in graphic design, the AIGA Medal. His speech at RMCAD was appropriately titled “Difference Making.” He talked about the world of design today and what making a difference really means. Many designers claim to be great thinkers and problem solvers, where the problems they are solving quite often include typefaces, color use, and deadlines. His responsive and inventive thinking directs towards solving real problems, and really making a difference with design.
