At this month's event, guest juror Richard Dana will work with event
attendees to provide the participating graphic designers with three
words. The  designers, working in the crowd, will have 4 hours to
create a poster for 'X' using these words and the environment as
inspiration for their designs. The screen display of each Designer's
laptop will be projected on the club's projection and liquid plasma
screens, revealing their individual approaches to the creative
objective. At the end of the event, event goers will select the design
that most creatively fulfilled the objective. The chosen design will
be leveraged for next weeks promotional poster, flyer, and web site
splash page.

At the end of the event, the curator will select a winning design. The
winner's design will be used on a promotional poster, web site and
flyer for X as well as potentially incorporated into an art book.
