What is 36 Point?

It's like the standard type size of a headline if you like using default settings. We thought about calling it "36 Points", but that sounds like a Kate Hudson movie, and not a good one at that.

What have people said about 36 Point?

"The pleasure and the privilege was mine as I discussed "Sketchbook" on the industry's favorite podcast, The Reflex Blue Show."

Timothy O'Donnell – 4/3/09

"The Reflex Blue is one of the nations leading design focused podcasts. The creators Nate Voss and Donovan Beery have a down to earth and engaging style that makes any subject interesting."

Justin Ahrens of Rule29 – 3/22/09

"I don’t have to tell you about 36point.com, do I? I love these guys… their podcasts have been a must since the Be A Design Cast days."

Dan Reynolds of TypeOff – 11/17/08

"You guys had the best questions I've ever gotten. I was deeply impressed that you did research, and actually knew things about us (but not the really skanky stuff). Thanks for having me on your show. It was a highlight of my trip. And thanks for the hard work keeping design and designers out there to the rest of the world."

Sean Adams of AdamsMorioka – 6/26/08

"Nate and Donovan are a little nuts, so this is a really different radio interview from [Design Matters with Debbie Millman]. The Reflex Blue Show is as close as designers will come to Morning Zoo-type radio shows, and it's actually pretty great. They know what they're doing. Check it out if you've got the time."

Stefan Bucher of 344 – 3/12/08

"Two renegade bloggers from Be A Design Group have gone rogue, creating their own foray into the design webosphere, and 36point.com means business."

QUIPPED by Jason A. Tselentis – 3/5/08

"[The Reflex Blue Show is] not like it's NPR with Terry Gross or anything, but I was still a little nervous. In the end, I had a great time. Anyone can do a podcast with enough technology at their disposal, but Nate and Donovan are doing something that adds to the graphic design industry. These two guys from Omaha are shaping and enhancing the design community…and having fun doing it."

Steve Hartman of Creativille – 3/5/08
