The Reflex Blue Show, Season 4, Episode 12: Is AIGA Wrong About Spec Work?
October 27th, 2011 |Posted In: The Reflex Blue Show
Spending almost an hour being made to feel like a Fox News flame-war anchor, I admit, may have gotten me into a feisty mood when it came to naming today’s show (the graphic, though, is just me being a dick because Donovan left me off the last podcast’s artwork).
The breakdown:
Barack Obama‘s campaign holds a poster contest that doesn’t maybe crosses a the line from grassroots community builder into KILL-IT-WITH-FIRE Spec Work. AIGA overreacts and/or overcompensates writes a letter. Nate and Drew who may be thankful his name actually didn’t make the show title? spar while Donovan tries to make Nate feel like an idiot for even bringing it up tries to make Nate feel like an idiot for even bringing it up.
THE FINAL VERDICT MAY SHOCK YOUno it won’t.

The Reflex Blue Show: AIGA Pivot Conference Special: DAY THREE
October 16th, 2011 |Posted In: The Reflex Blue Show
I wrapped up my blogging of Pivot for the Neenah Paper blog by covering some letterpress posters and my looking at RVs.
And for our audio recap of the conference, we brought in Cami Travis-Groves, Mike Joosse, and Bill Moran of Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum. After seeing his letterpress posters I covered, how could I not?

The Reflex Blue Show, Season 4, Episode 10: I Have an Inkling for CS5.5
September 8th, 2011 |Posted In: The Reflex Blue Show
This week’s show — new and recorded live while the microphones were on — is an operatic examination of Things. We spend a slight amount of time recapping our recappings of HOWlive twenty-eleven (presumably for the final time); the finer points of local AIGA awards shows; a magical pen that records your drawings and turns them into more drawings; finally begin to delve into Adobe Creative Suite Five Period Five (a conversation will continue, dear friends, as we endeavor to uncover its dark, dark secrets); and do a little, tiny bit of dribbbling. Maybe more?

The Reflex Blue Show, Season 3, Episode 10: David Berman Interview
July 28th, 2010 |Posted In: The Reflex Blue Show
The sixth of the seven interviews we recorded from the 2010 HOW Conference in Denver was with David B. Berman.
One of the big happenings at the How Conference is the vendor area. It’s like a full tradeshow in that room. Not like a state fair with people selling pots and pans – sweet vendors like Neenah Paper right inside the door. French Paper always has some hot giveaways people line up for, but no booth gets the early crowd like Veer. I realized I was near their booth when the crowd got so packed I couldn’t see their booth. It was around this time that I met a guy named David Berman, and we started to chat. He asked about this podcast we did, and I told him to swing by our recording in a few minutes. He did. That was the HOW Day Two Recap.
Not putting the pieces together, Nate ended up at his presentation the next day and was blown away by the energy David has. We did what was needed to get him on the show, and time or schedules aside, we made it happen.
His book, Do Good Design: How Designers Can Change the World, is our topic. Check out a preview on Google Books to see a preview of this amazing book. We all live here. This is our profession. Change the world.
