What did your favorite designers make and think at AIGA’s national conference? We asked Michael Bierut, Julie Lasky, Stefan Bucher, Chip Kidd, Bonnie Siegler, Sean Adams, Dana Arnett, Kurt Andersen and many many more about what they made and thought that day (the answers may surprise you, especially Chip’s). Includes some special Make/Think choreography from Design Observer’s party at the New Daisy Theater!

We head backstage to get final thoughts from the three Command X finalists, winner Monina Velarde, first runner up Ryan Fitzgibbon and second runner up, Alison Yard Medland.

Designer, illustrator, monster-maker Stefan Bucher talks about his new book, A Graphic Eye, and how the Daily Monsters have now made their way to children’s television programming.

The 19-year-old designer and mainstage speaker at the AIGA conference offers his unique perspective on the design industry, including publishing his first book, Creative Grab Bag.
