The Reflex Blue Show HOW Conference Special: DAY ONE
June 24th, 2009 |Posted In: The Reflex Blue Show
Doing it right from Austin, Texas, live from the Conference Center’s 4th Floor — The Reflex Blue Show HOW Conference Special continues!
Day One guests include speakers/authors Jen & Ken Visocky O’Grady, author/speaker/man-about-town Steve Gordon, and Not-Anymore-Speaker/Not-Quite-Author Justin Ahrens (who graces us with a full-show appearance)! It’s all about setting the tone for the conference and covering the pre-conference workshops (sort of), and the lead-up to the conference itself — as it appears on Twitter? Also featuring the mad psyching-out of the O’Gradys vis a vis Armin Vit’s Design History & Practice: Mano a Mano battle royale that is apparently going down like Chinatown Thursday night.
Are you in Austin? Want to be on the show? Hit the 4th Floor everyday at 5:00 (right after the close) and chat it up!

The Reflex Blue Show, Season 2, Episode 5: Jeff Fisher Does the LOGO-MOTION
May 14th, 2009 |Posted In: The Reflex Blue Show
Seriously, how many speakers can be at The HOW Conference? Turns out around 50 or so, and we found another one to talk to in logo/identity expert Jeff Fisher of LogoMotives.
Jeff’s a person who we’ve talked to enough on the Internet, seen his work in over 100 books, as well as writing a couple himself, that we felt like we had already spoken to. Turn out not. Well, until now anyway.
We chat up some talk on identities, Identity Crisis!, The Savvy Designer’s Guide to Success, and among some other things, his alter-ego Toots Caboose.

The Reflex Blue Show, Season 2, Episode 4: Bryn Mooth Goes 2 The HOW Conference
April 30th, 2009 |Posted In: The Reflex Blue Show
The HOW Conference. I’m told that if you need to be re-energized in the field of design that it’s the best thing to do. I’m going this year, Steve Gordon is on some panel, and we spoke on the last show about how Armin Vit moved to Austin just to be closer to the action.
Is it that great? We decided to investigate further by having Bryn Mooth, editor of HOW Magazine on the show. And since we’re speaking HOW, we had Steve Gordon stop by to join in. And be sure to hang around until the end, where Mig Reyes once again drops of this episode’s student tip.

June 24 – 27, 2009. I will be reporting daily from the HOW Conference in Austin. If you plan on going, let me know, as I’d like to finally meet some of you I know from online interactions. Like Steve, I’m working on a small promotional piece for people who I meet. Not a full-on shirt, as 36 Point likes to go quantity first! And when I run out I plan to hand out 36 Point stickers. Hope to see you there.
