First Friday: Let’s Walk Shop

First Friday: Let’s Walk Shop—Dissect Chelsea’s Posters with a Professional Designer

Have you ever wanted to analyze the posters we see on the street every day in the company of a professional? Join award-winning graphic designer Zipeng Zhu on a humor-filled, energetic romp through Chelsea as he dissects, criticizes, praises, and even tears apart (not literally) contemporary advertising posters that have been flypasted around NYC. Learn how to look at a poster through a designer’s lens and get a feel for good (and bad) composition, color, balance, and messaging. 

Event starts at PH but is throughout Chelsea. Attendees should be prepared to walk for about an hour on the streets of New York. Headsets will be provided to ensure you don’t miss any of Zipeng’s insightful (and witty!) commentary.

Zipeng Zhu is a Chinese-born artist, designer, educator, and founder of the award-winning creative studio DAZZLE in New York City. He wants to make every day a razzle-dazzle musical. He has collaborated with iconic brands such as Apple, Adidas, Adobe, Coca-Cola, Instagram, Microsoft, Netflix, the New York Times, the New Yorker Magazine, Uber, MTV, and Samsung. His work has been exhibited at major museums and institutions in cities all over the world, including New York, Barcelona, Dubai, Shanghai, Beijing, and Mumbai. Zipeng dedicates his days running both the Dazzle Studio and merch shop Dazzle Supply, bringing his dazzling design to clients and everyday fans around the globe.
