This week: Music Meets Creativity with special guest — Graphic Design’s DJ — Steve (RDQlus) Gordon.
Rarely do you see the designer today without their iPod (or, if you’re one of those people, your Zune) plugged in, filling the gaps in their creativity with their music. While we spend the first few minutes being a little Radiohead-centric, Steve, Donovan and I eventually discuss the parallels of creation great design to creating great music, what music is great for design and what music can kill a creative mood, and why the Halo 3 soundtrack is actually awesome and Donovan needs to shut up about defunct 80’s rock. Enjoy The Reflex Blue Show Episode 9 with a cold one and your favorite playlist.

This week we welcome special guest Bennett Peji to the Reflex Blue Show, and what an enjoyable show it was! We’re always thrilled when we get a chance to sit down with the best in the business (just listen to the first 3 minutes for Bennett’s resume. You will suddenly feel somehow inadequate), but even then it’s a rare treat to find designers as passionate and excitable about their work as Peji. He specializes in urban and district branding managing multi-million dollar projects with potentially hundreds of clients, but got his start by opening his own graphic design company while he was still a senior in college to do a single logo. The man’s got what we like to call range.
Thanks again to Bennett for being on the show, and we’ll see you next week!

A few weeks back Donovan and I gave a show stopping presentation at a student portfolio event called Meet the Pros (site and poster design by me). And even though we weren’t their first choice, we were the first ones to say “yes” and low, PORTFOLIOWN’D was born. A rip-roaring take through the entire student portfolio process — from purpose to process, order to interview, we cover how to make a great portfolio from top to bottom. Much of what you are about to hear we learned from our own experiences as former students, as professors, as interviewers and portfolio reviewers, and from people much smarter than ourselves. So sit back, grab a cold one, and relax on your inflatable couch. Enjoy.
