Join the Hunt!

DC Type Hunt
How it works:

Each day during Design Week 2015 we challenge you to hunt for a specific type style to photograph for inclusion in our DCDW Type Hunt. Our goal is to highlight the diverse typography in the DC Metro Area (that includes you Virginia and Maryland!) by showcasing type throughout the regions that make up our chapter!

What is DCDW?

From October 18th to 24th, we are celebrating DC Design Week (DCDW), a week-long series of events that highlight the impact of design and designers in the DC metro area. DCDW recognizes the efforts and contributions of emerging and established local designers, developers, artists, architects, illustrators, photographers, thinkers, makers, doers and others in Washington DC’s creative community. AIGA DC coordinates it with various partners and sponsors, but we count on you to attend and participate.

Did you know that you can join AIGA for as low as $50?

Join in time for DCDW to enjoy discounted rates on events throughout the week, and even get the exclusive, members-only perk of early registration for in-demand events guaranteed to sell out! For more details, go to www.aiga.org/join.

A portion of the proceeds goes to the next generation of designers through AIGA DC’s Design Continuum Fund scholarship.
