The Reflex Blue Show : A Graphic Design Podcast

Jessie McGuire: The Reflex Blue Show #275

Jessie McGuire of ThoughtMatter was last on The Reflex Blue Show during the 2023 HOW Design Live conference in Nashville, TN. This time, we speak via Zoom about, well, first that Nashville venue, and then move onto ThoughtMatter’s Censor This! event that was held at their office during the New York City Design week back in May and created to discuss what a designers role is in civic engagement. We also cover their work for the NBA 2K League (the official Esports league of the NBA), ThoughtMatter’s Where Democracy Begins mural (and what it takes to get a mural made in NYC), and more. Enjoy.

Rachel Elnar & Erik Cargill: The Reflex Blue Show #274

Rachel Elnar & Erik Cargill of the Cheers & Tiers podcast stop by to talk about their show that is based partly around the heydays of the AIGA Leadership retreats. I was fortunate enough to get to be at six of these conferences, ending with the one in Omaha, Nebraska. I still miss this event and the immediate connections you had with the other 250~ people there. We also talk about design leadership, the need for design community, and human pyramids. Enjoy.

Katie Johnson & Ilana Griffo of GoodType stop by The Reflex Blue Show to discuss the many things GoodType has been up to over the past few years. We talk about The Typecast podcast, their 30 day rotating social media challenges, the GoodType Instagram account still being crazy popular, The Kernference, and more. Enjoy.

Stefan Bucher: The Reflex Blue Show #272

Stefan Bucher and his monsters return to The Reflex Blue Show. Last being on the show when he was in Omaha back in 2018, well, it’s been a while. But we start by going way back to The Reflex Blue Show episode 2, when his 100 Days of Monsters book had just been released. All these years later? Well, the monsters have never really left, and are now celebrating 20 years with a completed A Revelation of Monsters book that launched on Kickstarter. We talk about over 1,200 monsters and counting of course, his Skillshare on book design (which leads to how it also covers pricing, which could be a 12 hour Skillshare on its own), how having some savings allows you to say no (and how much of a difference that makes in your career), what 344 is up to now, and more. Enjoy. The post Stefan Bucher: The Reflex Blue Show #272 appeared first on 36 Point.
