St. Louis Celebrates a Week of Design

We get excited about almost anything design-related, so naturally, we are all pretty pumped about the first ever STL Design Week.

The brainchild of AIGA, STL Design Week will feature daily studio tours and evening events ‘designed to inspire.’ The events aren’t limited to just graphic design. They celebrate architecture, photography, technology, art and more.... And we love that, because not only is design our job, it is our passion.

It’s why we take field trips to places like All Along Press and the Frank Lloyd Wright House and why we spend our lunch breaks watching documentaries about graffiti. It’s why we love when members of our team take their own time to do concert photography or make slow motion puppy videos. We just love design.

This week will be a great opportunity to raise the profile of the St. Louis design community, and we're all for it. In fact, we are already clearing our schedules, hiring babysitters and setting our DVRs for that week so we don’t miss a single night of festivities.

STL Design Week is taking place April 18-23rd. To learn more about STL Design Week, the events associated with it, or how to volunteer, check out their website. You can also stay up-to-date on all the STL Design Week news by following along on Facebook or with the #STLDW tag on Twitter.

We want the Atomicdust blog to be a place where people can come and share their thoughts on marketing, design and how adorable they think our babies are, and leaving a comment allows you to do just that.

We will moderate the comments, and reserve the right not to post anything we deem inappropriate. That being said, we have created some guidelines to help ensure your post gets published:

Do: Be vocal
Share what you know. Ask about what you don’t.

Do: Spread the love
Feel free to share the posts on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or wherever you play on the Internet. But if you could give us some credit, that would be nice. We work hard to write these posts... and want our fifteen minutes of fame.

Do: Watch your language
We’re all adults here (probably), but please, avoid using language that is obscene, vulgar, or lewd. (Lewd? That word just sounds gross.)

Don’t: Get all elementary on us
Spelling is hard sometimes. Please forgive people for their typos and spelling errors.

Do: Be like Honest Abe
No lies, please.

Don’t: Be like Kanye
TURN OFF YOUR CAPS. That is just annoying. (But not when Kanye does it. Then it is genius.)

Don’t: Be a hater
While we welcome criticism and open discussion, remember to be respectful. Make sure your comment is constructive and that it doesn’t offend, threaten or attack.

Don’t: Spam us
I’m sure that magic pill really works, but Atomicdust blog readers aren’t interested...

Just checked out the schedule of events. Looks like it’s going to be an awesome week. I can’t wait for Pecha Kucha and Design for the Planet.
