CADC presents —The Sport of Design.
Eric Panke who is a gap-toothed Art Director (and Illustrator) who occasionally dabbles in the copywriting world who brings nearly 20 years of award-winning creative direction, design and art direction to the table. He is presently a Creative Director at Adams & Knight in Avon, CT and has a wealth of experience across every medium and a wide range of industries. 

Hailing from the Northern English town of Preston, Neil Jamieson came to the US in 2001 with a sleeping bag, an unpaid internship and a dream to be a magazine art director (although he had no idea what exactly a magazine art director was). His 17 year editorial design journey started shortly after scoring an entry level gig in the bull pen of Sports Illustrated and learned the ropes with some amazing pro's in the hardest working art dept in publishing.
Field & Stream magazine followed 6 years later where he worked on his first redesign, built his first art department and caught his first Marlin (sorta...he was on the boat when it happened). 
 
In 2014 he headed north to Bristol, CT to continue his digital odyssey as Creative Director of digital content at ESPN, and somehow, at some point during all of that, he was lucky enough to serve as President of the Society of Publication Designers.

WIRED magazine describes The Bolted Book by Fortunato Depero as "one of the world's most iconic design books. Michael Bierut calls it a "totemic thing” for designers.

Published in 1927 in an edition of fewer than 1,000 copies, this book is celebrated for its daring experiments in typography, its innovative ideas about design practice, and its reinvention of the concept of the printed book.
