Jason Tselentis: The Reflex Blue Show #174
Jason Tselentis chats about all of the important topics with me – artificial intelligence (and how it may affect design), James Cameron, Papyrus, and student portfolios.
Recorded at this year’s HOW Design Live Conference, we also briefly mention that Jason has written a number of graphic design books, formally wrote for Speak Up, still writes for some of the design magazines, and teaches at Winthrop University. He was unsuccessful in his first attempt to stop James Cameron from using Papyrus…

Always love reading and listening to Jason. Had a good chuckle in this episode when he said “think of all the freelancers who have so much work.” Ha! If only I was so unlucky to be hamstrung by endless projects.
Regarding technology and the future, in general, I think we got rid of Google Glass way too early. Imagine sitting at your computer, but all the panels in InDesign or Photoshop are not on screen taking up valuable pixel real estate, but are instead projected as a heads-up display on your glasses. I’d be down with that. Even better if a car had no dashboard, but instead the pertinent details were available only to the driver via a special set of goggles, or something.
Of course cars will be mostly self-driving before too long, and I can’t wait. This will change urban design, and our relationship between cities and country.
When editing, I was thinking, “yeah, those freelancers who work 80 hours, will still probably work 80 hours, they’ll just do 180 hours worth of work, and leave even less for the rest of us…”

Let’s hope they don’t end up like Google Glass where they are such a failure on launch it sets them back another decade.
