Tuesday July 21 – Your Baby’s Ugly

What: Your Baby’s Ugly
Where: Market Street Media Foundry, 118 SE 4th Street Des Moines
When: 7pm until ~9pm
RSVP: RSVP via e-mail to info@cultivatedsm.org

Most people are too polite to tell you your baby is ugly. If it’s a real, authentic, from your loins flesh and blood baby, well, that’s probably a good thing. It’ll grow out of it (hopefully). But if your ugly baby is a business baby, a design baby, a project baby – it’s staying ugly until you do something about it.

Your Baby’s Ugly will be a starting point for improving the aesthetic appeal of your project, business, or brand. It will also be a useful lesson for non-designers in the basics of aesthetics and give you some simple advice you can apply daily to enhance the visual appeal of anything you work on.

Bring your business baby – corporate identity, marketing collateral, websites, product packaging, logos, etc – and a team of working artists and designers will direct an aesthetic critique. No excuses and no pulling punches – find out if you’ve got an ugly baby.

If you want to put your baby up for critique, please RSVP to Scott at info@cultivatedsm.org with “Ugly Baby” in the subject. Give a brief description of what you’d like to have critiqued and we will take it from there.

If you are a working designer or artist and would like to participate on the critique panel, please contact Scott at info@cultivatedsm.org with “Ugly Baby Designer” in the subject.

YES! You can attend Your Baby’s Ugly as a spectator, however, participation is STRONGLY encouraged.
