GCA Workshop + Retreat 2024

Get the inside scoop with Aaron Draplin, Founder of Field Notes, and learn what goes on behind the scenes at the Draplin Design Co.! He’ll give an in-depth walk through recent projects big, small and downright ugly, including an overview of the Field Notes story. Sometimes, bigger isn't better, and he’ll provide bonafide proof of a ferociously independent existence in the cutthroat world of contemporary graphic design. His methods, momentum and mania in a fun, loose setting. Questions answered. Riddles solved. Enigmas discussed.

Meet industry suppliers in quick 5 minute meetings.

Aaron Draplin returns for a retreat session that gets everyone involved! To start, everyone will get a Field Notes memo book and a pencil. Aaron will start off by explaining how he does what he does, his process and show a couple examples of logo projects. Attendees will get to play a bit, surprise themselves and then Aaron will bring a couple sketches to life in real time. Finally, Aaron will go behind the scenes and answer any questions you might have about what he does, sharing anecdotes from projects from his practice.
