AGDA is excited to announce that Barbara Glauber, New York designer and past AIGA board member will be touring the 7 AGDA state chapters from August 17th as part of the AGDA International Speaker Tour program.

As the principal of graphic design studio Heavy Meta, Barbara designs publications, exhibition and information graphics, identities, and other projects for a client list which includes Atlantic Records, the Museum of Modern Art, The New York Times, the Whitney Museum, Yahoo! and the Contemporary Jewish Museum.

Aside from designing for her arts and entertainment industry clients, she has edited, curated and designed exhibitions; judged competitions; taught classes and workshops; and directed creatively.

She has served as chair for the American Center for Design 100 Show and occasionally works as creative director on large scale projects with the Brand Integration Group of Ogilvy & Mather.

She is a founding partner of the Smoking Gun website and is on the faculty at Yale University as critic in graphic design, alongside luminaries such as Tobias Frere-Jones, Irma Boom, Karin Fong, Matthew Carter and Michael Bierut.

Her work is in the collection of the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum and has won numerous awards.
