Patrick Coyne & the history of CA
October 26, 2009
Being a designer, it’s safe to say I anxiously await the arrival of the next issue of Communication Arts. It’s a required piece of literature around our office. Recently I had the opportunity to attend an AIGA event to hear Patrick Coyne, the editor and designer of CA speak about the history of the magazine as well as insights into the future of the publication. Patrick was a very gracious and friendly guest who gave a great presentation. It was very inspiring to see the past issues and layouts of CA as well as hear all of the famous artists who had designed a cover over the course of CA’s history. Patrick touched a bit on the upcoming type annual that CA will be publishing, which caused a few of us in the audience to perk up with raised eyebrows. As always the SD AIGA chapter put on a great presentation at the Museum of Visual Materials, with good food from Chef Dominique’s and open discussion between a great group of area creatives.
