Jim Krause & Dyana Valentine : The Reflex Blue Show #99

Jim Krause & Dyana Valentine

Our 6th interview podcast from HOW Live (recorded in Boston), brings us Jim Krause – and the return of Dyana Valentine.

Jim Krause has written many of the books you’ve seen in the profession of graphic design (color index books, the new logo brainstorm book, idea index, and more). Dyana needs no introduction on this show.

This is very much a traditional Reflex Blue Show where we chat about a bit of everything: what Dyana is doing for Neenah Paper at the conference; Jim’s books; Darcy Hinrichs introducing their joint talk; their joint ’30 in 60′ talk (which I also blogged about for Against the Grain); movies; and more.

Next week we’ll be back with an AIGA Nebraska event special. Following that? Hatch Design joins us for our final HOW Live, and season 5 finale – The Reflex Blue Show #100 (what?! We’ve done 100 of these? Really?).

Terry Marks of TMARKS Design graces our latest show. The show that barely happened in the end as it turns out. Immediately after recording, Terry had to head home sick. And the student tip from Mig Reyes also only arrived after Mig was able to recover from his bus getting hit by a truck just minutes before. 

But we’re glad it all turned out fine for everyone in the end, as Terry talks with us about his new book with Matthew Porter from Rockport: Good Design; Deconstructing Form and Function and What Makes Good Design Work. 

We also speak about the three dozen or so logos he’s done for DC Comics, how could we not?

And hang around until the end (or use the chapter markers we’ve gone back to including in our shows to jump directly to it) for a special appearance by the one and only Eddy Wang.

The Reflex Blue Show, Season 2, Episode 11: Bill Grant Interview

We welcome former AIGA national president Bill Grant to the show today. This is the guy who actually did what I assumed was impossible, and created the original AIGA Design Business and Ethics series.

Bill has also just done what many of us designers dream to – sell his own merchandise. But rather than taking the online store approach, he opened a physical storefront directly below his office called “The Store“.

And for those wondering what Bill is going to be up to next, we also speak briefly about his upcoming book, 1000 More Graphic Elements: Unique Elements for Distinctive Designs, Volume II.

The show ends with a fantastic student tip by Mig Reyes. Take up his advice in the comments below.
