San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) September 13, 2005 -- Ben Karlin, Executive Producer of The Daily Show with John Stewart, and author of America (The Book), will appear in San Francisco with famed New York designer Paula Scher to discuss how they collaborated to make the best-selling book a hilarious success.
Just what went into making the book that topped the bestseller charts and was banned from Walmart? Where do you draw the line between design and content? How does one credibly disrobe all nine Supreme Court Justices? These are just some of the challenges that writer Ben Karlin and designer Paula Scher faced when putting together The Daily Show's 200-plus-page, best-selling, quasi-educational tome, America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction. How do you take boring textbook format and bring it to life? Where do you draw the line at what you are willing to call Anne Coulter in print? How do you get around federal statutes forbidding the use of a live bald eagle for commercial purposes? Learn all this and more as Author and designer co-present the making of the hilarious cult phenomenon.
Presented by the American Institute of Graphic Arts, San Francisco (AIGA SF).
