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.

Leo Burnett “When to take my name off the door”
Watching this speech you can really feel Leo Burnett’s enthusiasm for advertising throughout this whole entire speech. I wonder how often agencies lose sight of who they are and what they stand for.
What are you thoughts about the speech?

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.

Aaron Draplin: Advice for the Young Graphic Designer
After I watched this while I was in art school I really learned what I should put in my portfolio. What I had done wrong was I put work in there that I was not proud of. Also I have been doing so many projects that will allow me to have other work that is not from school. Because honestly if you show your portfolio of your school work it just shows that you can do what the teacher says instead of making up your own projects. And self initiated projects will allow you to learn what the constraints, limitation are of a project and how to design within those.
Why America is Fucked.
Aaron Draplin seems like he’d be a really cool guy to meet. But anyhow after I watched this video it made perfect sense to me how sign companies tend to be. There’s plenty of visual pollution around everywhere. If you take just a moment and looked at signage you can tell if the person took the time to really think the whole design through or not.
Whats your thoughts on the Video?
Fear is not reality
With the many things that I have been going through these past couple of months I realized that I was not living in reality. So every so often I come back and I watch this video. Its pretty amazing at how powerful our minds can be.
Apple Product Design
If you have no clue who Jonathan Ive is or Jony Ive as some people call him he is responsible for how the apple products are designed and how they look. When I listened to the Steve Jobs Biography audiobook I learned that Jony Ive is just as much of a design nut as Steve Jobs was. If you have or if you’ve ever held an iPhone 4 you’d notice the little gaps on the side of the phone. The reason for that is because of the antenna and if its covered you can expect to have dropped calls and etc. The iPhone 3 would drop calls constantly because it did not have the gaps the 4 does.
Whats your favorite apple product or Who’s your favorite product designer?
