Los Angeles, California - October 21, 2008 - AIGA/LA, the professional association for design, will join with Mohawk Fine Paper to toast the design of the Mohawk Show 9 at the Pasadena Museum of California Art on October 30, 2008.

The Mohawk Show 9 is a collection of print design work that is not to be missed. This travelling design exhibit celebrates five winners and twenty finalists chosen for aesthetics, content, paper usage and overall excellence of craft. It was judged by Sam Shelton, Michael Hodgson, Debbie Millman and Bart Crosby, who reviewed over twelve hundred entries.
Michael Osborne, a San Francisco-based graphic designer, will talk with guests about his experience with wine and other package design, his experiences in the profit and not-for profit worlds, his love of letterpress and whatever else strikes his fancy. Learn the basics and beyond from the man who designed the stunning Beckett Cambric promotions for Mohawk Fine Papers.

Established in 1981, the firm's work in corporate/brand identity, package design, and print collateral has been recognized by many competitions for outstanding design, including the West Coast Show, American Institute of Graphic Arts, and the Clios.
