UCDA Design Conference: Community
Your community—where you share your common cultural and historical heritage and work toward similar goals. For designers and design educators, the design community fills the role of inspiration, collaboration, friendship, and support. Connect with your community this October in one of America’s success stories: Baltimore, Maryland. When the fog rolls into harbor, you can almost hear the past through the masts of tall ships and the beat of waves in one of America’s great seafaring cities. The vibrant, multicultural Charm City is a perfect setting for the community of UCDA.
UCDA is your community: your welcoming space to share your experiences and learn from the lives of others. Discover how your colleagues meet the challenges of communicating to multiple audiences through an array of media, and immerse yourself in solutions and innovations together.
As communicators, community is critical. The 47th Annual UCDA Design Conference provides you an opportunity to get an in-depth look at the issues facing the design and communication communities, both in and out of educational institutions, and gain inspiration for better collaboration.
The design community awaits you in Baltimore.

9 a.m.-12 noon
Hot Off the Press at MICA (Optional Activity/Add-on $) SOLD OUT
Visit Maryland Institute College of Art for a tour of the Globe Collection and MICA’s letterpress studio. After an insider’s tour of Globe, famous for its vivid music posters, participants will learn about the letterpress revival in higher education and experience firsthand the inky arts by printing a poster with Globe materials.

Fee: $80 (attendee); $90 (guests). Pre-registration required and space is limited. Includes transportation, supplies, and instructions.
9 a.m.-12 noon
Creative Blocks (Optional Activity/Add-on $) SOLD OUT
As designers and artists we’ve all been there. Totally stumped on a design idea. Searching for something new and unique in our quest for keeping the creative juices flowing and our work fresh. Fighting those barriers to inspiration when those creative thoughts are just non-existent and the deadline is looming. You can’t seem to figure out how to access your internal creativity because you’re exhausted, overworked, burnt out, or that elusive creative energy has decided to go on vacation, without you. Most of what you need to remedy this situation, you already have.
You need a medium in order to develop the skills of improving how you think, creatively or otherwise. In this workshop, we will talk about the creative process—just a bit—then we get to work, get creative, and make things! We will be creating our very own “creative block” using hand decorated papers, drawing, painting, photography, and collage. Julie Spanos will show a variety of techniques that allows participants to create a finished piece to take home. Participants are also encouraged to utilize this process for their design work—backgrounds, illustrations, and images.
Fee: $60 (attendee); $70 (guests). Pre-registration required and space is limited. Includes supplies and instructions.

11. Featured School : Johns Hopkins University
SAIS Magazine: Change Agent and Community Builder
Margaret Hardt Frondorf, John Hopkins University and Beth Singer, Beth Singer Design
It was new. It was a big change in editorial gestalt and design tradition... and yet it was embraced by the entire community. How did the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University take a 40-year old well-regarded foreign policy magazine and transform it into an equally-as-stimulating, alumni-centric publication that continues to showcase its thought leadership? It was accomplished through engaging internal and external stakeholders to build a new paradigm grounded in their good ideas. This is a story about fostering community, finding a voice, and illuminating talent through a bold shift in content and visual convention. Margaret Hardt Frondorf and Beth Singer will discuss the combination of strategic vision and design thinking, and the key ingredient of TRUST for breeding artistic innovation and inspiring all stakeholders to move in new and ever bolder directions.

Sort of like a bride’s bargain basement sale, only with publications instead of dresses, designers instead of brides, and the publications are free.
Those bringing or sending materials for the swap will receive a “priority pass” to be at the head of the line!

13. Big Video Impact on a Small Video Budget
Adam Perry and Ben Wehling, Taylor University

Hear from Adam Perry and Ben Wehling who manage to produce high-quality video content with limited resources for staff and equipment, and how they justify small video investments that have huge video impact. It’s time to stop saying “I can’t” and start saying “I phone” (or “And Roid” if you prefer).
14. Transition Your Position: Moving from “The Type Nerd” to a Strategic Partner
Amanda Gingery Hostalka, Stevenson University and Matt Laumann, University of Maryland
While job titles communicate important messages about responsibilities, titles can limit our perceptions of ourselves, undermining our influence outside of our cube, our department, or our university. Learn how to harness your value and influence by examining the pivotal steps that allowed one graphic designer from the Marketing and Digital Communications department to become a strategic partner (designer, curator, and educator) in the School of Design.
15. Leaving a Legacy

30. Designers (Should) Run the World
Tracey Halvorsen, Fastspot
Until you start acting like a true leader or CEO, your design work and your job will suffer. If you want advancement and personal fulfillment in your work, you need to find ways to take ownership over the responsibility of your designs to affect positive change. This means you might have to step up and transform your team, your department, or your organization. Don’t wait for someone else to pave the path forward for you. Do the hard work that happens around the boundaries of the actual design work, and extends beyond the beginning and end of the time you create the design work. Tracey Halvorsen will show you how to invest in your work (and your life) the way a true leader would invest in their company. If you think you’re truly talented and creative and have great ideas—it’s time to prove it—or else go back to decorating other people’s ideas and hating your job and your life.
