2013. gada plānotāja prezentācija. ISSP is releasing the new 2013 weekly Planner!

Dārgie draugi! Priecājamies, ka ilgi lolotā ideja īstenojusies un ISSP katalogs ir pārtapis par skaistu iknedēļas dizaina Plānotāju, kurš iznāk pateicoties partnerībai ar Kuldīgas domi un Latvijas Mākslas akadēmiju.

Aicinām uz jauna izdevuma prezentāciju 14.novembrī plkst 19:00 Birojnīcā (Berga bazārs, ieeva no Dzirnavu ielas)! 

Iknedēļas Plānotājs 2013.gadam ar ISSP 2012 dalībnieku fotogrāfijām ir jauns dizaina izdevums, kas turpinās ISSP katalogu tradīciju jaunā veidolā, padarot to par plašāk pieejamu un izmantojamu ikdienā. 53 gada nedēļas saturēs 53 oriģinālas ISSP dalībnieku fotogrāfijas, kas tika iekļautās ISSP 2012 noslēguma izstādē Kuldīgā šī gada augustā.

Jaunais Plānotājs ir tapis sadarbībā ar Kuldīgas Novada pašvaldību un Latvijas Mākslas akadēmiju, kas atbalsta jaunu un inovatīvu dizaina produktu tapšanu. Dizaina autori - ISSP ilggadīgie partneri Artis Briedis un Rūta Briede (LMA doktorantūras studente) no dizaina apvienības rabit!!

Prezentācijas laikā tiks rādītas ISSP 2012 noslēgumu darbu projekcijas, būs iespēja iegādāties plānotāju par zemāku cenu nekā veikalos (7Ls), un protams, būs vīns un sarunas! 

Sākot no šīs nedēļas plānotāju varēs iegādāties arī internetā (www.issp.lv), Latvijas Fotogrāfijas muzejā, un dažos dizaina un grāmatu veikalos.

Uz tikšanos trešdien!
