Other ACAD school of communication design alumni are participating as well. The motivation for their involvement varies including some who have developed stand alone business ventures, others an extension of their design or illustration practice, and some I suspect do it just for the kicks. We are doing it for all of the above reasons in addition to research for an upcoming picture book series set in a craft fair.
Here are a few of the school of communication design alumni that have participated in these craft show recently include:
