    Meet the Printer of the World Cup Radial Bracket Poster

    Hi everyone,
    The vast majority of you have now received your posters and we've gotten lots of love and appreciation from you so thank you very much. It's really rewarding to hear all the great feedback.

    We have a special treat for those of you in the New York City area. We host a monthly series of events at Hyperakt called Lunch Talks. We invite a guest to speak about a topic related to design to a group of about 20 people and the events happen on a Friday at lunch time at our studio in Brooklyn. The events are totally free and lunch is served. They are very informal events which are great for meeting other designers and networking.

    This month, on Friday September 17, we are presenting Todd Truesdale from Recycled Paper Printing – printers of the World Cup Radial Bracket Poster, along with most everything else we've printed lately at Hyperakt. Todd is coming down from Boston to share his story. He's an interesting cat – Harvard grad, biologist, activist and environmentalist. He's going to talk about environmental stewardship in the printing industry and we'd love to have you over if you can make it.

    Slots are limited, so please RSVP here to reserve your spot. Cheers,
    Deroy
