Many regulations will be updated or introduced for California in 2023. Your 2022 posters will be considered outdated and you will not be in compliance.

Important things to know:



• The updated California State & Federal 2023 posters include important revisions to the California Minimum Wage Notice and the Discrimination Notice.

•  Also available are posters on sexual harassment prevention, code of safe practices, first aid/choking/CPR, California fair housing, California human trafficking, HIPAA, Workers Compensation fraud, and more.

PIASC is able to save our members even more money by offering the California State and Federal posters for just $20.50/english or spanish (compared to CalChamber cost of $42.99). These prices are for PIASC members only.

Avoid fines and penalties by pre-ordering your posters! Download order form HERE or contact Emily Holguin, 323.728.9500, Ext. 200. 

We need to ask that question, does colour theory actually make your graphic designs better, or is it utterly useless? As a graphic designer, we need to take colour seriously and try to apply it to our designs.

In this video you will learn how to better understand colour theory and design theory and can then apply it to your graphics and workflow.
