Each team has been issued a challenge proposed by an urban leader working in Portland, and at the event, they’ll present their ideas for a solution to that challenge. The urban leaders will then join them onstage for a brief Q&A moderated by GOOD Ideas for Cities editor Alissa Walker.

Happening NOW:
Dead Stock at Compound Gallery, curated by Jason Sturgill
107 Northwest 5th Avenue Portland, OR 97209-3822
In the world of retail, merchandise that does not leave the shelves or the warehouse is destined to become deadstock. These forgotten relics of commerce can sometimes get a second chance, once again returning to the marketplace to fulfill their intended function. How does art become deadstock, and once it does, how does it once again serve a purpose?

Last week, graphic design student Alie Kouzoukian installed this piece in the art annex for Nicole Lavalle’s Design Thinking class. This is made out of 22,480 push pins!
I ordered 30,000 thumbtacks (Thank you, Internet!), but only ended up using 22,480. I decided to do an update on the W+K wall by choosing rainbow translucent thumbtacks instead of clear, and using a hand lettered script to deliver my message, which is an oversized bad pun, “Push It.”
Read more about this project and her process here! Go Alie!

Mark Making Workshop with MIKEY BURTON!
Room 160
10AM-5PM
First 20 students to sign up this Tuesday at Noon on the FoGD blog will get to attend!
Crafting a single brand mark can take months (even years) to bring to fruition. It requires a deft understanding of letterforms, an infallible wit, a keen eye for color and the best Bézier curve skills in the business. Mark making can take an entire career to master, and even the best marks in the world still receive criticism. Through truncating the long process into just a few hours, this workshop will hopefully demystify one of graphic design’s toughest challenges. It is my hopes that in this workshop I can help develop your brainstorming and sketching processes, and (*hopefully*) you will walk out having a portfolio ready mark. Through this workshop I hope that you will understand the importance of the “napkin sketch phase,” when solving the problem. By looking at this process you will see that with enough hard work and thought, it is possible to create a thoughtful, meaningful mark.
Requirements
Logo must includes Festival name and City. The logo can also include the year (or even focus the concept around the year). The student can decide if they want the brandmark to be a logotype or an icon with supporting typography.
Supply List

Pencil (HB)
Paper
Tracing paper
Eraser
Optional (for finishing purposes only!):
