Long live Banksy...

Filippov - Milton Glaser

Milton Glaser talking about graphic solutions to conceptual problems.
Glaser's most famous for his "I (heart) NY" ad campaign for New York City. You might have seen the T shirts...
He makes a couple of interesting points about concept in this interview; originality vs. efficiency. Confidence vs. embarrassment.
Riveting stuff from one of the most respected designers in the industry. Art is Whatever... Remains.

Piper_Shepard Fairey

I would love to embed the video I found to this post but the video uploader has prevented embedding. So, here's the link:

Shepard Fairey is a street artist who uses hand-made stencils and spraypaint to create unique graphic designs. Some of his most famous works, which he talks about in the intervies, include his Andre the Giant poster which is black and white except for the red "Obey" right underneath the face. Nowdays, his absolutely most widely known work is the iconic Obama "Hope" poster in red, off white, and blue.

Frey_Paul Rand

I chose Paul Rand because he is one of the classic graphic designers who inspires me. I love how he started out with humble projects and after several years of hard work and dedication built up his portfolio and created several major corporate identities such as: IBM, ABC, Westinghouse and UPS.

Davila_Graham Clifford

I found several interviews with designers from the Miller White School of Design on vimeo that have had an impact on me as a Communication Design student. One designer in particular who inspires me to become a better designer is Graham Clifford, the owner of Graham Clifford Design. He was trained by his father and after years of applying his craft with various advertising agencies he started his own design shop in New York in 1994. In this video he promotes education and encourages students to become immersed in their craft.

Koski_Ben Burtt

I Couldn't get the embedding code so here is the link to the video --->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A58fMkMo3cM&feature=related

The person I chose for this journal is Benn Burtt, who is a sound designer. The video shows some of his amazing talents of putting sounds of any kind into movies. In this video, you get to see a little bit of the life he lives and his library of sounds that he uses for the Pixar movie Wall E. He has also done sounds for movies such as Star Wars (1977), Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, winning many awards.

Even though I don't know anything about sound design, I thought it was a very interesting video. It is always crazy how sounds are put into any movies because the designers can use what ever they can find around them to create something new. I think that is a great art and talent to be able to use objects and people around you to make your project successful.
