7:00 // Q&A between Lawrence Azerrad and Devin Liddell // moderated by Cameron Campbell

Join Lawrence Azerrad, an award winning art director, graphic designer, and author for a  lecture on what made Concorde the single most important piece of design in our recent history, and how it can serve as a window into human creativity, optimism, and the spirit of progress, as expressed through design.

Lawrence Azerrad is an award-winning art director, graphic designer, and author based in Los Angeles. Prior to opening LADdesign, he was an art director at Warner Bros Records and created packaging and artwork for artists including Miles Davis and The Red Hot Chili Peppers.

In 2017, he won a Grammy for his work as the producer and creative director for The Voyager Golden Record 40th Anniversary Edition. The record embodies a sense of possibility and hope, and serves as a reminder of what we can achieve when we’re at our best—and that our future really is up to all of us.

 Pursuing his love of design in all forms, Azerrad’s first book, Supersonic: The Design and Lifestyle of Concorde, was released by Prestel in September 2018. It is available just about everywhere books are sold.
