With a hot political season on its way, AIGA Toledo and the Advertising Club of Toledo have joined forces to provide an inspirational design luncheon featuring author of Design for Democracy, Marcia Lausen.

Marcia is an outspoken advocate for the value of design in corporate, consumer, and government communications. She has served on the local and national boards of AIGA and she co-founded the election design initiative of Design for Democracy: a strategic program of AIGA that seeks to improve the quality and clarity of government communications. Her recently completed book Design for Democracy: Ballot + Election Design was published by the University of Chicago Press.

Marcia Lausen is founder of the Chicago office of Studio/lab and Director of the School of Art and Design at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Marcia received her MFA in graphic design from Yale University in 1985 and her BFA in graphic design from Indiana University in 1981. She was named a Fast Company Master of Design in 2004 for her work in election design.
