It seems entirely fitting that Baseman Design Associates (and BasePress) will be having an exhibition at Penn State University, the place where it all started for BDA Principal and Professor of Graphic Design Communication, Frank Baseman. As an undergraduate student studying Graphic Design (et, ooohhhh, la, la! aussi un peu de la langue Française) at Penn State in the late seventies and early eighties (graduating in 1981), Penn State has always felt like the place where I discovered Graphic Design, the place where it all began for me. And, oh these many years later, I’m still working in my chosen profession and going strong.

Upon completing my sabbatical work, I was grateful for the opportunity to put that work—as well as many other projects—on display. If you are in the State College area in the Fall (perhaps checking out a Penn State football game), hope that you can stop by to see the exhibition. Huge shout outs to Kelleann Foster, Jamie Lyn Perryman and Scott Tucker of the Stuckeman School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture for their interest and support! Here are the details:
