A Master's Degree In Design?

Welcome to Season 8 of The Reflex Blue Show! No idea what we have planned for this season, but we’ve started it anyway.

On this episode we invite Ashley McFeely and Joe Sparano to talk about what they’re doing now – going for that Master’s. Joe left the state – Ashley had to continue into a related field to stay in the city. What’s it like to continue on the education path, and why would you do it as a designer? We speak of these things and more. Enjoy.

Joe Sparano – #SolveProblems

As one of the most quoted designers in Nebraska, Joe Sparano is looking forward to what’s next. After nine years at Oxide Design and teaching some college students (as well as middle schoolers) about design, he’s decided to take the steps to find his long-term goals in the field.

So, we talk about looking at grad schools, his #solveproblems hashtag, and the soon to launch Solve Problems website.

Posted In: The Reflex Blue Show

Back in the studio once more! Donovan and I welcome special show-friend Joe Sparano via Oxide Design and, since they are taking on Logo and Letterhead 12 from Rockport publishing (download the free-ass entry form here), we take some time to talk about the relevancy of letterheads — once the bastion of identity design projects — in the modern world of digital communication. We also introduce a few new segments to the show, including What Are You Designing and the What’s New What’s Update.

We’re back in business over here.
