Interview with graphic designer, Paul Rand

 

This interview with paul rand is definitely a classic interview as you can probably tell by the quality of the video and what the interviewer is wearing. I would’ve been asking tons of questions related to design and whatever else I could think of. But anyhow this interview is a great insight on how Paul Rand goes about designing and etc.

 

 

 

 

Art & Copy Documentary [2009]

 

After watching this documentary many times it was a little history lesson in advertising. This documentary also taught me about advertising and how its done. The rotating of billboards I never thought of it as being such a complex and quickly moving business.

 

“The frightening and most difficult thing about being a creative person is that you have no idea where your thoughts come from really and especially no idea where they will come from tomorrow”

Bauhaus School of Art and design Documentary – Graphic Design Architecture

 

I came across this documentary because of my interest in the Bauhaus. This documentary showed me how innovative people can be with little amounts of materials available. When the war happened in Germany and the students had to use what they had available showed me that you do not need ton’s of materials to make something great. The furniture from the Bauhaus gives me chills when I see how beautifully designed it is and then I lust to have it. I was blown away to learn how much of the architecture in Chicago is influenced by The Bauhaus (even though I know that is not the only city).

Only if there was a school like this to attend nowadays.

 

Dieter Rams on The Culture Show

 

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.

Bill Bernbach on advertising 1/2

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.
