At July’s Space-themed CreativeMornings, our New York Chapter had a Smilebooth at their event to capture photos of attendees. Needless to say, it was out of this world.
See more photos from the event here.
Our Washington, DC Organizer, Joel Daly, was interviewed by the Washington Post earlier this month about his experiences with CreativeMornings.
"If Haiti could turn trash into money, that would be good."
That was on Ian Rosenberger’s mind as he penned his first journal entry in Haiti. Following the earthquake, Ian, a Pittsburgh photographer and videographer came to the area to document the tragedy and destruction to create awareness.
Ian forged deep relationships with locals, going as far as to bring a young boy named Tassy back with him to the states for life-saving surgery. After returning the boy to his home, he realized that that wasn’t enough, going on to found Team Tassy, then Thread, a company that creates products from trash—and therefore jobs—for Haitians.
How does a photographer start a business formed around recycling trash to create jobs? Watch his talk.

Have you ever played Layer Tennis?
Layer Tennis is a live design event where matches are played using video, animation, sound, photos, type and lots more, but the basic idea is the same no matter what tools are in use:
Two competitors swap a file back and forth in real-time, adding to and embellishing the work. Each artist gets fifteen minutes to complete a “volley.” A third participant, a writer, provides play-by-play commentary on the action, as it happens. A match lasts for ten volleys and when it’s complete, fans say what they think and help declare a winner.
The primary Layer Tennis Playoffs are hosted by Coudal Partners in Chicago, but you can play against a fellow designer for fun to sharpen your skills and break up the ritual—part of Mig’s advice to spend less time on things.
Give it a try!
