As designers, we’ve long been told that InDesign is the top tool for serious print work. But most of us spend our days in Figma—why aren't we using modern design systems, plugins, and Claude workflows for our print projects? At Offrange, Ambrook’s editorial publication, we make our print newspapers entirely in Figma, with Claude in the workflow, and print them with Newspaper Club in the UK. Ali Aas (Creative Director, Ambrook and Offrange) and Jesse Hirsch (Editor, Offrange) will take you behind the scenes of how the Corn Courier and Tomato Times were made, from layout setup to print-ready files. Schedule: 5:30PM: Doors Open 6:00PM: Presentation and Q&A 6:45PM: Mingle If you’re a print-curious individual, come say hi! Everyone will get copies of Corn Courier and Tomato Times to take home. This is a 21+ event. Drinks and small bites will be provided.
