Petre Spassov: The Reflex Blue Show #239

I first met Petre Spassov at the 2011 AIGA Conference in Phoenix, and since then have been fortunate enough to receive a few of his promotional pieces for PS Design. As he has created some of the best self-promotional design pieces I have seen, I thought it would be fun to have him visit The Reflex Blue Show and discuss what goes into a good self promo for a designer, and what the goal of one should be.

We also talk about his studio (PS Design), his collaborative studio (Reform Design), student portfolios, AI (I mean, I feel like it has to be discussed some, it’s 2023, right?), and more.

Enjoy.

Christopher Cox: The Reflex Blue Show #238

Christopher Cox stopped by (well, virtually anyway) The Reflex Blue Show to talk about the weather and snow accumulation in Fort Collins and Omaha (this makes us officially old?).

We then speak about his previous work under Change the Thought, for Barack Obama, and his past blogging. We also discuss Alternative Movie Posters, the wonderful environmental graphics he’s been working on with DLR Group, and more.

Enjoy.

Jen Landis: The Reflex Blue Show #237

We last spoke with Jen Landis back in 2019, at the OnBrand Conference, where she was speaking, along with other things, about her Pin Curl Girls. Since then, she has continued to promote creativity and positivity to girls age 8-13 with her Art Gang (my daughter is at the desk next to mine working on an Art Gang project while I am editing this podcast, she loves it). We speak about Art Gang, her upcoming book ‘Skip the Bad Songs!‘, teaching full-time, and more.

Enjoy.

Keni Thacker was in Omaha to kick off the On Brand Conference just blocks from my office a couple of weeks ago. First off, big thanks goes out to AAF Nebraska, AIGA Nebraska, AMA Omaha, and PRSA Nebraska for once again hosting (and selling out!) this great event in its fourth appearance.

Keni kicked off the event speaking about 100 Roses from Concrete, a company he created to promote people of color in the creative fields. We speak about 100 Roses from Concrete; bringing more diversity into the creative fields; becoming an active participant in the change you want to see; and more.

Enjoy.
