Event Details

Unimark International was innovative in expanding boundaries of design, business, and technology in the 1960s and early ’70s, sometimes leaping ahead of the norm by decades. Unimark International deserves recognition for its influence in a specific era of design history and for many ideas and achievements—in the United States, Europe, Africa, and South America—that have continuing validity beyond that era and beyond the profession of design. Notable American clients include Ford, JCPenney, American Airlines, New York Transit Authority, Knoll, Panasonic, Target, Memorex, and Gillette.

Jan Conradi is author of the book: "Unimark International: The Design of Business and the Business of Design." She is currently a Design Educator at Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey and formerly was Professor of Design at SUNY Fredonia. She will describe the rise and fall of Unimark International and will sign copies of her book at the lecture.

AIGA's mission is to advance designing as a professional craft, strategic tool and vital cultural force.

AIGA, the professional association for design, is the place design professionals turn to first to exchange ideas and information, participate in critical analysis and research and advance education and ethical practice. AIGA sets the national agenda for the role of design in its economic, social, political, cultural and creative contexts. AIGA is the oldest and largest membership association for professionals engaged in the discipline, practice and culture of designing. Founded as the American Institute of Graphic Arts in 1914 as a small, exclusive club, AIGA now represents more than 19,000 designers through national activities and local programs developed by more than 55 chapters and 200 student groups.
