He has also previously worked under the direction of catalyst designers such as Walter Bernard and Milton Glaser. Basemen is a strong supporter of design education and in addition to being a professor, he was the founding chair of the steering committee for the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) Design Education Community of Interest and was co chair of Revolution: Philadelphia, a national AIGA Design Education Conference in 2005.

The main event on Thursday, however, is not exclusive and is free and open to the public.
