It’s an exciting time for the creative community. There’s a certain energy in the air right now as agencies begin to dive headfirst into new campaigns and projects, and organizations once again commiserate on special programs and events. One such event is Phoenix Design Week. This five-day design fest in October promises to be stellar, especially now that design maven Debbie Millman has been tapped as the event’s keynote speaker. To gain some insight into her creative acumen, check out “1:1 with Debbie Millman” on page 12. You’ll also be roused by the story of the Drifting Creatives, two regular Joes designing their way across the country. Read all about their adventures in “The Drifters” on page 26. And for even more inspiration, see samples of the amazing design and bindery work done by regional agencies and binders in our special bindery feature beginning on page 18. It’s creativity at its best.
