In 2008, Donovan Beery and I sat down with AIGA President Sean Adams in Omaha, Nebraska, where Sean was attending the AIGA Leadership Retreat. During our visit with Sean, he was incredibly gracious and cordial, and often disarming with his humor. We met Sean in a large but decidedly un-decadent hotel room and discussed the formation of Adams Morioka, what makes designers take the plunge into self-employment, and the perks of sharing an office building with Larry Flint. (The full interview can be heard on The Reflex Blue Show, available for download here.)
Before I joined AIGA some seven years ago, members were mailed a copy of the organizations’ Awards Annual (now called 365) in all of its hard-bound, heavy glory. Somewhere between the copy I later found of issue 18, and my first issue, 23, the shelf-height started varying, as well as the cover material.
Issue 24 came in 2003, and had a fuzzy orange color. Me being a sucker for orange, I loved it. As the years pass, the fuzzyness left a nice tarnished stain on the white cover of issue 23 that it shares a shelf with. Like a Sagmeister design experiment, it was destroying the book next to it, I have since changed my opinions on this tome. Even the orange cannot stop my dislike of it anymore.
Happy holidays and happy new year from 36 Point! We welcome Adam Nielsen back to do our much-promised Holiday Design Review show. We cover Starbucks, Target, Xbox, Macy’s and more, all submitted by our listeners. A good time was had by all.
