Model D TV: D Show
Graphic artists, designers, producers, advertisers and other Detroit creatives gathered a few weeks ago to celebrate local innovation. Model D TV recaps their first ever D Show.
The D Show was created to bring more attention to and honor the work of Detroit graphic artists, designers, producers, advertisers and other creative types.
The first D Show event, held a few weeks ago at the Max M. Fisher Music Center in Midtown, was a celebration of the creative work that flows out of this city. (Read more about it from Bill Ludwig of Campbell-Ewald and the D Council here.)
Model D TV director/producer Tom Hendrickson gives us a look back at the big night.
