On Thursday, a Japanese phenomenon is coming to Austin. The event, known as a Pecha Kucha Night, is the brainchild of two Tokyo based architects and allows artists, designers, and creatives to show off their work in a unique format. Japanese for "chit-chat", a Pecha Kucha night is a controlled creative showcase in which a series of artists present PowerPoint slide-shows of twenty images each for twenty seconds a piece.

The Decoder Ring Design Concern is a giant among the visual communication world that happens to be based in our humble little town. We've long enjoyed the multidisiplinary studio's fine art prints and screenprinted rock and roll posters, but a perusal through their online portfolio speaks to how ubiquitous and powerful the Decoder Ring design team is. They've done the CD packaging for some of our favorite albums, designed Shiner billboards, developed the SXSW logo, and even made Whataburger look retro-cool. Decoder Ring recently moved all of their design and production to an East Side studio space, and are consequently opening their doors to participants in this year's East Austin Studio Tour. In accordance to their penchant for team work, the Decoder Ring designers all took turns in answering some questions for Austinist.
