Are you just having lunch, but wish you were having a side of DESIGN KNOWLEDGE with it??? Why not bring some food and chow down right at the Show & Tell Design Lecture Series!

Join us live Thursday, February 5 at noon Pacific in AB 320 for a talk from Creative Director & Film Director Mike Anderson!

Mike Anderson’s aesthetic exists at the edge of absurdity, with characters built to jolt and amaze. With a comedy talent hosted at Adult Swim and FXX, he captures today’s diverse visual, social, and technical landscapes with enviable ease, ingeniously traipsing between digital cutting-edge gaming aesthetics and handcrafted traditional animation.

Whether he’s creating unexpected pop promos for global DJ, Steve Aoki or crafting a post-apocalyptic world where dancing is the key to survival, the visuals feel fresh and the jokes always land. As a Creative Director, Mike is pushing the limits of cinema with Meta, internally with Apple, and across a variety of tentpole i.p with Amazon Prime.

Can't make it in person to AB 320? Tune in to psu.gd/twitch to watch online!

What is Show & Tell anyway? It’s PSU Graphic Design’s long-time online lunchtime lecture series where working design professionals stop by to blow our minds with wisdom! Our lectures are hosted by the students of DES 125 Show & Tell! All talks are free and open to the public!
