Who and What

Sean Adams is the Dean of Art and Communication at ArtCenter College of Design. He is the author of nine books, including The Designer’s Dictionary of Color and How Design Makes Us Think. Adams is an on-screen instructor for LinkedIn Learning, Domestika, and Adobe. He is the only two-term AIGA national president in AIGA’s history. In 2014, Adams was awarded the AIGA Medal.

Burning Settlers Cabin is an online publication founded by Sean Adams in 2008. The goal at Burning Settlers Cabin is simple: find design and culture from the past to the present and share it with no pretense. The ideas and images may be hot but fear not; no settlers are on fire.
