Pulp: The AIGA Austin Journal

JournalPulp is an AIGA members-only journal featuring a diverse body of writing and opinion that examines design practice, theory, and education. Pulp has evolved from a newsletter into a journal that stimulates thinking about design in Austin. The Community Issue collected articles from local designers to begin a dialogue that questions and identifies our work.

Community Outreach

AIGA Austin’s Community Outreach directive is currently being formulated. As our chapter becomes more established within the local and national design communities, we will seek to reach out and make a contribution to the broader community; be it art-sharing or art-making, design or design-thinking.

At this time, we are interested in pursuing a variety of education-based initiatives. These range from continuing our newly initiated, annual scholarship program and sponsoring college student-oriented studio tours and mentoring programs, to exploring the potential for bringing or supporting design-based learning (a tool to achieve interdisciplinary education of K-12 students) to area schools and/or developing a weekend workshop program for 11th and 12th graders.

There are other ideas out there. If you have thoughts on how AIGA Austin can give back to our community, be it the design community or Austin in general, we’d love to pursue your contribution.
