Tall Tales from a Large Man
Using scientific proof and state-of-the-art multimedia techniques, Aaron James Draplin of the Draplin Design Co. delivers a suckerpunch of a talk that aims to provide bona fide proof of work, the highs and lows of a ferociously independent existence and a couple of tall tales from his so-called career in the cutthroat world of contemporary graphic design. Just a regular American guy with a trajectory a little dirtier than yours, his talk is open to all brave enough to show up. You may find yourself inspired to attack your design future in a different way. You may just leave feeling grateful you don’t have anything to do with him. Hard to say. All San Antonio champion citizens are invited to attend. Be there!
