David Carson–
Really enjoyed his work and his unique uses of typography, rare that I've see it done that well. This is definitely a link I plan to reference in the future for any explorations with type. The motion graphics shown in the video were also well done. The transitions were interesting and fit perfectly into the background audio. I really responded to his way of mixing typography (different strokes, sizes, etc.) because he would do so in a way that one might not assume would be successful yet he makes it work.
Paula Scher-
She was very relatable to me because I go through similar steps for a design project and it reassuring to know that professionals go through the same process. With her commentary on the identity jazz, she mentioned the importance of the interaction with the client and how she adapts to their preferences which I also responded to since I have been newly recriuted for a position on a newspaper. Lastly I thought her discussion of the theater identity becoming a popular style was really interesting, I would love to be able to say that about my work some day.
Milton Glaser–
"The life of a designer is between two sets of entities, the life of the business man and life of the artist. And most people know where they lie..." This quote really stuck out to me because it feels so true. Glaser went on to casually discuss his very lax interpretation of design -"design is whatever"- because in a weird way it captured the essence of what we do. His lucid interpretations I felt demonstrated his passion for it because he thinks of it as a casual, beautiful, phenomenon as opposed to just a job or a class.
