The Reflex Blue Show, Season 2, Episode 8: HOW Recap
July 2nd, 2009 | by Donovan Beery
Today we welcome Steve Gordon as our guest to do a complete recap of our experiences from the HOW Conference.
We also spend some time discussing Graphic Design, Referenced by Armin Vit and Bryony Gomez Palacio, and how it may be the best graphic design textbook released since Meggs’, and possibly even better.
And of course, we discuss the office decoration we just got. Things will never be the same around here again.

The Reflex Blue Show, Season 2, Episode 7: News + The Kitchen Sink
June 11th, 2009 | by Donovan Beery
Nate and I really clean out all of the missed news topics of the past month as this one goes all over the place. For some, this may be as close to hanging out with us for a half-hour as you may want to ever get.
We talk of Steve’s upcoming book release party, the launch of FPO, Debbie Millman taking over as president of AIGA, new Mountain Dew flavors (which causes Nate to start yelling Leroy Jenkins so loud it messed with our recording, causing some file damage and thus that part being removed), and much more.
The next few shows will be as live as we get from the HOW Conference, and then back to our regular schedule in a month.
