Brayan Montes-Terrazas: The Reflex Blue Show #269

Brayan Montes-Terrazas: The Reflex Blue Show #269

Brayan Montes-Terrazas was part of the inspiration track at the 2024 HOW Design Live Conference in Denver, Colorado. Going under his art name of YAMZ World of Color, his work truly is an inspiration. We talk about how choosing yourself in your creative work can only be good, the path to becoming a full-time illustrator, merch, and more.

Enjoy.

Once again, thanks to the team at HOW on a great conference. This is the last of our recordings from the 2024 event, and for those that missed any, we had three daily recaps:

  • HOW Design Live 2024, Conference Recap 1 of 3 : Debbie Millman
  • HOW Design Live 2024, Conference Recap 2 of 3 : Amy Conover, Darcy Hinrichs, Anne Hughes, Erin Pille, Keith Smith, Jason Wedekind
  • HOW Design Live 2024, Conference Recap 3 of 3 : Aaron Draplin, Bill Gardner, Stephen Gates, Rick Griffith

As well as eight interviews (which includes this one):

  • Alex Center: The Reflex Blue Show #262
  • Rachel Mae Zeolla: The Reflex Blue Show #263
  • Brandi Parker: The Reflex Blue Show #264
  • Pum Lefebure: The Reflex Blue Show #265
  • The Bill & Von Show (Bill Gardner and Von Glitschka): The Reflex Blue Show #266
  • Carissa Carter & Scott Doorley: The Reflex Blue Show #267
  • Tegan Harcourt: The Reflex Blue Show #268
  • Brayan Montes-Terrazas: The Reflex Blue Show #269

This was my thirteenth HOW Conference (the first being the 2009 event in Austin, Texas), and I cannot say how much of an impact it has had on me – the friends and memories I have made over the years at this wonderful event, the numerous speakers I have had the opportunity to podcast with, the events that surround the conference, and so much more. This month, they posted on their website, “We have made the difficult decision to postpone HOW Design LIVE, including the 2025 event. While we recognize this may cause inconvenience, this decision enables us to better align with the evolving industry landscape and focus on creating an even more impactful and valuable experience for our community in the future. Thank you for supporting HOW Design Live and its community over the past 35 years.” I do hope to see this event again, but I also know that the community that it created will remain for a long time.

Enjoy.

Carissa Carter & Scott Doorley: The Reflex Blue Show #267

Carissa Carter and Scott Doorley of the Stanford d.school were at the 2024 HOW Design Live Conference in Denver, Colorado to talk about their new book – Assembling Tomorrow: A Guide to Designing a Thriving Future. As the most recent book from the d.school, this one (which I finished reading last weekend), is what I would expect from two people from Stanford – it’s smart, thought-provoking, and takes a unique approach I have not seen in a design book before. Besides being a beautiful design, it mixes a lot of non-fiction with what they call ’20 speculative non-fiction stories’ in-between (you know, stories from up to 90 years in the future presented as real). I will say I have already found myself talking to multiple people about some of the topics I read in the book – I highly recommend it.

We talk about the book; The Shop at Matter bookstore; the Stanford d.school; the nature of design work as well as the unintended consequences; and more.

Enjoy.

The Bill & Von Show: The Reflex Blue Show #266

When you see Bill Gardner and Von Glitschka, you know it’s a HOW Design Live to remember! Recorded during the second day of the 2024 event in Denver, we sat down to talk about the pressing matters of the day in the design world…

…I mean, we talked about how great Macromedia Freehand was (I mean, is, as Bill still has a working copy of this program somehow) for basically the entire first segment of the show. I cannot overstate how happy this made me.

We also talk about Vons workshop showcasing his vector skills in Adobe Illustrator; Bill’s upcoming book; Bill’s talk on the yearly LogoLounge trend report; both of their LinkedIn Learning courses; and more.

Enjoy.
