Charlottesville Design Week

Come join AIGA Richmond at our next event! We are having a Book Swap. So bring your favorite design related books that you've read once or twice :) And swap them for a book that is on someone else's bestseller list. We will be talking about the books as well as deciding on new events that everyone would like to see in the coming year.

AIGA Richmond depends on the help and goodwill of volunteers to carry out a calendar of events each year. Volunteering with AIGA Richmond can be a great way to network, to attend Richmond chapter events at no charge, and to give back to your community. Volunteers are needed to help to run the chapter, organize events, network with other creatives. If you are interested in helping with our Board of Directors feel free to email. If you are not currently an AIGA member, we strongly recommend you become one.

The final stop on AIGA Richmond’s 2024 Studio Tour is Elevation, an integrated marketing firm dedicated to elevating the brands of its clients through creative and strategic excellence. On this interactive tour, AIGA members will be treated to a “Taste of Elevation,” an introduction to the agency’s approach to high-quality design driven by strategy across several key projects, with special snacks crafted by award-winning chef Jason Alley and custom-made house cocktails and mocktails. 

Sit. Stay. Think. The overthinking began in 2009 with a few clever logos and t-shirt designs. We’ve since grown into a group of passionate strategists and creators. Attentive listeners and thorough communicators. Driven perfectionists and witty storytellers. And whether we’re working on brand identity, print design, or website development, we put our hearts and souls into everything we do.

We’re 93 Octane, a full-service marketing agency, and we’re on a mission to make things happen. And to have a great time doing it. In our lives. In our community. And in our clients’ organizations. We’re not just here to make pretty designs. We’re here to help world-changing clients do just that.  We call that movement "acceleration," and it's what gets us up in the morning.  Design is a big part of what we do, but our work is driven by concepts. That’s why our approach to branding isn’t just focused on developing a logo or tagline, but on distilling your identity into a powerful idea, and then reinforcing that idea at every customer touch point. Our goal: to create actionable brands that are empowered to grow organically through thoughtful messaging, striking visuals, evocative language and intentional customer experience.

Join AIGA Richmond for a studio series tour at Campfire & Co. AIGA Richmond invites you to join us for the third in our series of Studio Tours around the city. Limited FREE tickets available to the first 10 AIGA members who register. (Check your email for the code!) Meet up with fellow AIGA Members and curious creatives to tour a local studio, check out their work, see how they run things, uncover how design informs their practice and ask your burning questions. We'll have light snacks and drinks. Plan to arrive by 4:45 if possible to participate in the full tour experience.
