Field Day ❤️
This was the second year we participated in the Design Museum of Chicago’s Field Day. We met so many new people, had visitors create their version of the CGDC logo and talked design in the gorgeous Summer sun at Chicago’s Navy Pier. See all of the photos from the day here. Special thanks to the Design Museum of Chicago for inviting us to participate.
We handed out limited-edition posters to celebrate our participation. Each poster was designed by a different member of the CGDC team.
