This poster commemorates the 2006 AGM held in Edmonton, AB May 4–6, 2006 by the National Council of the Society of Graphic Designers of Canada and the Chapter, SDGQ and Icograda representatives. 2006 is the 50th anniversary of the founding of the GDC as the Society of Typographic Designers of Canada back in 1956. The poster illustrates the theme that design is first and foremost a thinking process—no matter what the tool employed, be it a pastel crayon or a mouse. The style is meant to be reminiscent of the classic designers of the era like Saul Bass, Paul Rand and Canadian icons such as Carl Dair and Eric Aldwinckle.
