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

by Donovan Beery on August 14, 2009 at 10:36 am

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.

The Reflex Blue Show, Season 2, Episode 5: Jeff Fisher Does the LOGO-MOTION

Posted In: The Reflex Blue Show

Seriously, how many speakers can be at The HOW Conference? Turns out around 50 or so, and we found another one to talk to in logo/identity expert Jeff Fisher of LogoMotives.

Jeff’s a person who we’ve talked to enough on the Internet, seen his work in over 100 books, as well as writing a couple himself, that we felt like we had already spoken to. Turn out not. Well, until now anyway.

We chat up some talk on identities, Identity Crisis!, The Savvy Designer’s Guide to Success, and among some other things, his alter-ego Toots Caboose.

The Reflex Blue Show, Season 2, Episode 4: Bryn Mooth Goes 2 The HOW Conference

The HOW Conference. I’m told that if you need to be re-energized in the field of design that it’s the best thing to do. I’m going this year, Steve Gordon is on some panel, and we spoke on the last show about how Armin Vit moved to Austin just to be closer to the action.

Is it that great? We decided to investigate further by having Bryn Mooth, editor of HOW Magazine on the show. And since we’re speaking HOW, we had Steve Gordon stop by to join in. And be sure to hang around until the end, where Mig Reyes once again drops of this episode’s student tip.
