Members and supporters of AIGA and AIGA SC

AIGA South Carolina was founded in September 2004 as AIGA’s 49th chapter. AIGA South Carolina has hosted a wide range of inspirational speakers and programs including Chip Kidd, Michael Beruit, James Victore, Stefan Sagmeister and Sean Adams. AIGA SC members are professionals, educators and students. We are in-house designers, agency art directors, beginning designers and seasoned professionals. Our goal is to stimulate, enhance and develop the graphic design profession and to embrace the arts. AIGA SC aims to serve as the heart for all areas of creativity.

InShow is AIGA SC’s annual design competition. Started by the Columbia Communicating Arts Society, InShow is entering its 16th year. AIGA SC took over InShow in 2004. Initially, InShow was created to highlight professional work in the Columbia area. In 2004, a student category was added and in 2005, the call for entries was extended to the entire state.
