AIGA Iowa Design Week 2016 is starting with AIGA Iowa's First Annual Typography Show, ALLCAPS, at Moxie. Opening Night is October 1st with a performance by MAIDS!

About

ALL CAPS is a typography show that brings type to the forefront. Using type not only as a letter or for information but as image; image created from different mediums to create a piece that is not only thought provoking but immersive. ALL CAPS is to demonstrate the power, beauty and the importance of typography and how it’s awesome; showing pieces that bring awareness to personal expressions and beliefs, social issues, symbolism and the type-form itself.
