The Reflex Blue Show, Season 4, Episode 1: The Return of Mig Reyes
May 18th, 2011 |Posted In: The Reflex Blue Show
Mig Reyes is no stranger to The Reflex Blue Show. Mig made an appearance while working at Rule29 on Episode #23, talked about social media with us on our Season 1 Finale, dropped student tips on almost every show we recorded for Season 2, and he seems to show up on a number of our conference specials, but a few months in a regular schedule is like years in Mig time. It’s obviously time we catch up to all he has been up to.
We kick off Season 4 speaking to Mig about his design industry advice site Humble Pied, his work at Threadless, and his upcoming talk on “How the New Kids on the Block do it” at the How Conference this June in his home city of Chicago.

The Reflex Blue Show, 2010 HOW Conference Special: DAY FOUR
June 9th, 2010 |Posted In: The Reflex Blue Show
Tuesday brought was was the last full-day of programming at the 2010 How Conference – I am both completely worn out, and full-if energy at the same time from what has ended up being four crazy days of constant activity.
Neenah Paper was the host of the closing night’s event, and they decided to throw a white party. There was way more white than I was expecting – who knew designers even had this much white in their wardrobe. But before we went in, we spoke with a few of the other conference guests in the hallway: Armin Vit of Under Consideration, Peleg Top, Cortney Christensen of Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences, and Terry Collier, Ph.D. (where he talks about the 3M Visual Attention Service he works on). And Mig Reyes stopped by at the end to offer another student tip.

The Reflex Blue Show, 2010 HOW Conference Special: DAY TWO
June 7th, 2010 |Posted In: The Reflex Blue Show
Sunday brought us the end of the Creative Freelancer Conference, the start of the In-HOWSE Designer Conference, some pre-conference sessions, and most-importantly, the kick-off of the 2010 How Conference, where we recorded from the party itself.
The highlights of my day were spent attending the first part of “Caffeine for the Creative Team: Turning Brainstorming into Brainsqualling“ with Stefan Mumaw & Wendy Lee Oldfield. Stefan (guest of show #42) really knows how to motivate people to be creative. Maybe it was the fact that he was dresses as a nun, maybe it was the craft items he had on the tables (he said he chose to drive instead of fly here from Kansas City partly due to his need to bring along forty pairs of scissors for his workshop). I was having such a great time (and even learning useful brainstorming methods), that I felt a bit bad about having to leave in order to catch Shel Perkins speak on “The Art and Science of Pricing a Project” at the Creative Freelancer Conference across the street. It was nice to hear someone give advise on pricing that makes sense, relates to the current clients of a smaller shop, and keeps you focused on the future.
But that was just me, and there is way to much to cover for one, so we bring in a number of guests including: Andy Epstein (who is currently editing the HOW In-HOWse blog), Cortney Christensen of Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences, Nick Nawroth, Katie Hall, Missy Bergen, Mig Reyes (who is no stranger to the show, and currently doing great work at Threadless), David Berman (author of “Do Good Design – How Designers Can Change the World“), Tom Wright of Neenah Paper, Lauren Hybinette, AIGA Colorado Membership Chair Joe Marsh, and Jeff Fisher (guest of show #33).
Looking forward to what day three of the design event of the year brings us. We’ll report back tomorrow morning – as well as report through the day on Twitter (@36point and @vossome).

The Reflex Blue Show, Season 2, Episode 20: Twitter Show 2: Throwback to the Future
January 22nd, 2010 |Posted In: The Reflex Blue Show
It was exactly one year ago today that Nate set up the @36Point Twitter account, and told me to use it. That weekend we drove to Fort Smith to help judge the AAF-Fort Smith ADDY show, and documented the travel with regular tweeting. The following week, we decided we’d ask our wonderful show listeners to ask us our take on anything design related via Twitter, and recorded our first Twitter Show (The Reflex Blue Show #26).
A year later, we figured it was time again – a whole show talking about what was sent to us just an hour or so before recording. @nick_merritt, @iKitty, and @notoriouslb3 ask – and we answer.
For those who like a little more detail on what we cover: view Al’s very cool Haiti poster, check out some vertically-striped socks, turn ahead the clock, witness the return of a ‘hillbilly’, love or hate a serif, view a movie, drool over some crowns, dress like a Skywalker, and listen to Mig Reyes tell you how to be successful.
