David Gibson Speaks at FIT's Visiting Artist Program

New York, NY, 30 March 2011 — Two Twelve is thrilled to announce that our founding principal David Gibson spoke at the Fashion Institute of Technology's distinguished Visiting Artist Program.

Since 2001, the Visiting Artist Program has brought prominent designers together with students, faculty, and design professionals in a public forum. The program was established by Assisting Professor Rocco Piscatello representing the Department of Communication Design at F.I.T.

This spring, David joins the series with "Lost and Found, or The Art of Getting Lost and the Science of Finding Your Way." A pioneer of wayfinding design, David offers an insider's perspective on this rapidly evolving discipline and its place in the 21st century.
