ADC Young Guns @ Apple Store Tokyo, Japan: NOSIGNER
ADC Young Gun NOSIGNER will be appearing @ the Apple Store Ginza in Tokyo, Japan on
June 12, 2011.
The word "design" originates from the Latin word designare meaning de-sign. The founder of NOSIGNER discovered a contradiction, however. He states that the meaning of design only focuses on the visible elements and void of the invisible. With this discovery, he delved further into abstracting the word and re-defining it to nosign. In contrast to design, nosign investigates beyond sign, the invisible background of design. NOSIGNER the craftsman designs without explicit signature the invisible. With the recent opening of his design studio, his work has already achieved international acclaim with over 30 design awards both for his designs and philosophy.
NOSIGNER is part of the ADC Young Guns 7 class, honored in 2009.

Mastering CSS and Web Design
Over the last several years, the world of web design has been undergoing a change, moving from the old table-based, non-semantic markup of the past into the world of standards-compliant web design. Getting a handle on the language of HTML, XHTML, CSS and AJAX can be a challenge. However, Dreamweaver CS4 makes it easy with CSS and also makes advanced AJAX development much more approachable. During this session, Adobe Evangelist, Greg Rewis, explores standards-compliant design—markup, presentation and behavior—while simultaneously looking at the new features in Dreamweaver CS4.
Flash Bootcamp: Actionscript for Designers
Today’s Flash encompasses not only greatly improved animation capabilities, but also advanced features like inverse kinetics and 3D manipulations, not to mention being the most popular video delivery format on the web. As a designer, one challenge continues to stand in your way – to get the most out of Flash, you need to learn a little Actionscript. During this session, Greg will tear down the Actionscript wall, exposing what you really need to know as a designer to get the most out of Flash.
Greg Rewis is the Group Manager, Creative Solutions Evangelism at Adobe Systems. With over 20 years of computer industry experience, Greg spends in excess of 200 days of the year on the road, talking with customers, giving product demonstrations at trade shows and seminars, and speaking at industry conferences.
