Conference reading list We asked our speakers, conference advisory board and the AIGA national board for recommendations of books they felt related to this year?s conference theme or were simply books that every designer should read. As you?ll see, the suggestions are varied and multi-disciplinary and should provide you with a reading list that will last until the next conference!
