Work by alumni of Sputnik, the college's award-winning student design team, is on view in Sputnik X, a group show celebrating the 10th anniversary of the program. The exhibition is on view February 13–18 at the CCA San Francisco campus. A reception takes place February 17 from 7 to 9 p.m. The designers will discuss their work at a symposium in Timken Lecture Hall on February 18 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The exhibition and symposium are free and open to the public.
Designers in the exhibition include Ayako Akazawa of Chronicle Books, Bryan Burkhart of modernhouse, G. Dan Covert of MTV, Lindsay Daniels of Digital Kitchen, Alex DeArmond of McGinty, Eric Heiman of Volume, Stella Lai of Tree-Axis, Nadine Stellavato-Brown of Chemistry Design, Jon Sueda of Stripe Design, and Natalia Tjandra of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
The Sputnik program was established in 1995 to create the college's print materials. Today, under the direction of staff and faculty advisors, CCA graphic design students produce 70 to 80 print and web projects for the college each year. In 2004, the e-Sputnik class designed this website.
The Sputnik X group show and symposium are sponsored by the Graphic Design Program.
