The Reflex Blue Show, Season 3, Episode 19: Brandon Herbel Interview

An Interview with Brandon Herbel of Make Believe Clothing Company

Steve Gordon introduced us, through Twitter, to Brandon Herbel of Make Believe Studio. Not only does Brandon do great work for music acts nationwide, but he also started his own clothing company eight months ago. When we found out he was located right in our backyard of Omaha, Nebraska, we had to have him stop by to be on the show. We speak of the new Make Believe Clothing Company and his other ventures. And how can we speak of any fashion without having Steve on the show, where he shares a bit more about his ventures into clothing – and then we talk Starbucks.

For those people not within a block of a Starbucks, it appears they are all rebranding.

We’ll be back in a couple weeks with our annual Twitter show, so send us questions @36point and we’ll answer them on the next show.

The Reflex Blue Show, Season 3, Episode 18: Presenting Work to Clients (Part 2)

Presenting Design Work to Clients, Part 2

Aaron Stubbe, from Clark Creative Group, returns for the continuation of how to present work to clients. We also bring in regular guest Steve Gordon, of RDQLUS Creative, to round out the panel. You have to do what is comfortable to you, but hopefully we give some otherwise decent advice. Thoughts? Leave them below.

In what then turns out to be almost a double episode in itself, we start discussing the current design projects we’re working on.

And, how can we live in the state of Nebraska without discussing a logo makeover caused by our University switching to the Big Ten? The discussion gets so heated, and somewhat off-topic, that Nate even did a special 1PT.Rule story arch this week to continue the conversation onward. Wait, that was also off-topic, so back to the new Big 10 logo designed over at Pentagram. Is it a Big Ten, a B 10, a B 10 Ten, a Big 10 Ten, or a Big Ten B 10 Ten? Join the discussion at Brand New. And for those who don’t follow the Big Ten at all, the short story is the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s athletic department decided to leave the Big Twelve conference after this year and join the Big Ten. Since the Big Ten has had eleven teams since 1990, and Colorado is also leaving the Big Twelve this year, the Big Ten will now have twelve teams and the Big Twelve will now have ten teams. Isn’t this why we follow sports?

The Reflex Blue Show, Season 3, Episode 17: Presenting Work to Clients (Part 1)

Presenting Design Work to Clients (Part 1)

Aaron Stubbe is one talented Art Director (he works at Clark Creative Group in Omaha). Also, in editing this show, I found the man has a voice for radio. Besides being our guest on The Reflex Blue show, his vocal skills have to be helpful at presenting work to clients, right? I hope so, because that’s what we’re talking about this time around.

The real question though? How do we even cover anything worthwhile in our short show format with a topic this big? Simply put – we can’t – so we don’t even try. This episode is merely the first of two parts. We’ll cover part two in the next episode. Until then, enjoy.

The Reflex Blue Show, Season 3, Episode 16: Pricing and Estimating for Design Clients

Pricing and Estimating with guest Justin Ahrens of Rule29

Pricing and estimating design projects is one of those things we didn’t expect to have to do when we decided to become designers. But if you freelance or go out on your own, you need to come up with some number for people to pay you. Pricing seems to involve trial and error, adjustments for the local market, and a bit of guess work.

To help us sort out some of these issues, we bring in guest Justin Ahrens of Rule29 in Geneva, Illinois.

And since there is a holiday coming up, and we always need a creative outlet, don’t forget to enter and/or vote in Rule29’s 3rd Annual Hand Turkey Illustration Extravaganza.
