Graphic Designer & Calligrapher
One of the many things that I am still amazed when talking or reading about Charles and Ray Eames is how neither one was a designer. Charles was an architect and Ray was a painter. This interview has to be one of the best things I have found about design. Only if I heard a speech like this in Art School.
Telling people how to be creative is easy. Its only being it thats difficult – John Cleese
Would you like to see some written articles or just videos that I find?
When I first came across this video it was a history lesson. Learning how much Dieter Rams has influenced the product design of apple was great. One of the many things that I respected that Dieter said when the interviewer said “they have stolen your design” then Dieter Said “no its a compliment”.
The 606 is a shelf that I would not mind to have being an avid reader. I do love the aspect of designing furniture that will last your whole life.
What are you thoughts after watching both parts?
I really loved his response to the interviewers question where do you find creative talent? and then Bill said anywhere. I feel as if working at DDB (Doyle Dane Bernbach) would be such a great thing to be able to do. I wonder if the advertising agencies still look to find creatives everywhere.
This has to be one of my favorite scenes throughout all of the mad men episodes. Pete and Don are such great actors along with everyone else in the Mad Men series.

What are you thoughts about the speech?
There was an agency I wanted to work at but I did not have the credentials to work there so I started my own agency – David Ogilvy
I really love when he talks about how he came up with the pepper ridge farm commercial and many other great points throughout this interview.
Enjoy
I first learned about George Lois when I watched the documentary Art and Copy. George’s passion and how enthusiastic he is when he speaks about design really inspires me.
If I get stuck there’s something I don’t understand-George Lois
