Shows such as "NCIS" and "CSI" showcase the latest technology and gadgets of the future. Thanks to creative designers like Dale Herigstad, these devices can be found in places other than movie screens.
As the chief creative officer for Schematic Inc., Herigstad is nationally known for his work on a number of television programs as well as the 2002 film "Minority Report."
"If you want to know what it will feel like in 15 years from now, he is the person I would want to talk to," said Roger Lavery, dean of the College of Communication, Information, and Media. "He is doing this now and can give an idea as to what to expect."
Herigstad will be speaking at Ball State tonight as part of the David Letterman Distinguished Professional Lecture and Workshop Series. His speech will be at 7:30 p.m. in the L.A. Pittenger Student Center Ballroom.
"Dale has visited us before, not as a Letterman Lecture Series [speaker]," Lavery said. "He was someone we knew we wanted to bring to campus and the Letterman series wasn't set up at the time."
The creative designer has collaborated with Ball State students before, giving them advice on projects.
"He provides great feedback to the students as well. He helped out [Center for Information and Communication Sciences] students with iMobile projects," Lavery said.
Herigstad has worked in California and London and has taught at UCLA, the Art Center College of Design and the California Institute of the Arts.
