Part 2 Interview With Michael Stinson Hosted of Transparent Man Podcast

Interview Pastor Michael Stinson  Hosted of The Transparent Man Podcast Show

I'm in a law class at Pepperdine, studying for my MBA. In our first assignment, we're supposed to take this unbelievable amount of text and turn it into an outline using a very specific structure and methodology. I'm thinking, “Why do we need to outline? I just read all of this text and highlighted certain sections of it in detail. It's fine. Plus, It seems like a waste of time. And aren't all outlines the same anyway? Why is structure so important?”  I begrudgingly do the assignment and turn it in.  Then we get our next assignment… more outlining! Next assignment? Alas more outlining again!  By the middle of the semester, something dawns on me: I start to realize that I'm looking at paragraphs of text completely differently. I can pinpoint what matters most even faster.  At the end of the semester… I am an outlining Ninja.  This skill that I learned in my Graduate Studies has turned out to be a tool that I use to this very day.  Every time I read any block of text I can't help but condense it down to its most essential elements which has definitely helped influence my path of specializing and Short Form Communications. I love to take complex things and condense them down to their most essential elements, especially in storytelling.  The elements we use in stories really matter–to the listener, to the memories we can create in the minds of our listener, and to the integrity of the story. Michael Stinson has an incredible career exploring and teaching the cinematic art of storytelling, in addition to many other forms. And today on the Storytelling School Podcast, he's here to talk about how stories bind the world, share the tools he uses to explain storytelling, reveal what keeps an audience engaged, and tell us: How can experiencing different cultures influence your storytelling? Why is it a mistake to tell everything in your story? What's the best way to create suspense, and what other tools are essential for storytelling? And how are cinematic journeys like cathartic, storytelling labyrinths for the audience? What you will learn in this episode: How you can craft the most effective personal narrative to tell others Why suspense is so effective for audience engagement (and how it differs from surprise) What three flavors of conflict you can choose in your story Who is Michael? Michael Stinson is the professor of Film and Media Studies at Santa Barbara City College where he has taught courses in film studies, film production, screenwriting, film editing, cinematography, and directing for over two decades. He is also the author of Labyrinth of Light: A Journey Into Cinema and has co-directed the 10-10-10 filmmaking and screenwriting competition at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival for the past 20 years.  Prior to film school, Michael spent a decade abroad as a photojournalist based in Europe and the Far East. He worked for five years as a screenwriter for the Hollywood studios after earning a Master's degree in Film and Television from UCLA. Then, he began teaching at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and has taught courses in film and media at the University of Rome, New School University, and Los Angeles Film School.  Michael is a Member Emeritus of the Writers Guild of America, Society of American Travel Writers, and PEN America. Currently, he directs international film programs in Rome, Paris, and Tokyo.

The Power of Faith  Pastor Michael Stinson

"This week, our prayer focus brings us to the third Person of the triune Godhead, the Holy Spirit. As believers, we are indwelt by the Holy Spirit. His longing and desire is to fill us—that is, to fully control us. When we surrender to His control, we experience divine power at work in our lives to give us victory over sin, to empower us for Christlike living, and to increase the effectiveness of our Christian witness and ministry. This week, may we experience for the first time or in a fresh way the promise of Acts 1:8: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you. . .” (Terry Smith ) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/shelbyalliancechurch/message

Michael Stinson had dreams of becoming an airplane pilot, but his imperfect eyesight led him to an entirely different path, albeit one where precision is essential. Listen to Michael’s story of discovering a career in typography, his evolution from print to digital, and how he now trains students and companies like Disney, Facebook, and Mattel, through his program TypeEd, to better understand how to use type to design brilliantly.

Typography is a core component of logo design, but so many designers lack the essential knowledge needed to use fonts correctly. To solve that, this week Ian interviews Michael Stinson to talk about the fundamentals of type, choosing and managing fonts, licensing, book recommendations and more. Michael is the typography instructor at Laguna College of Art + Design, and is also the founder and lead Instructor at TypeEd, an educational platform that teach designers about the fundamental theory of type.

In this episode, Terrance reveals how he came to specialize in type, and show some development milestones along the way. Besides type design, he touches on calligraphy, lettering, and real-world applications like food packaging. He talks about some of his greatest hits like the custom font family for Domino’s, Joanna Sans Nova, and Kairos. I met Terrance at TypeCon in Washington D.C. and enjoyed his talk that he gave about observations in food packaging, and have been watching his work ever since.  In the typography talk segment with Michael Stinson, I changed it up a bit and included a portion of a one-on-one mentoring session between Michael and Winston. Winston asks Michael some questions that most designers ask, so we decided to share the recording. Thank you, Winston Struye for sharing some of this conversation!

Paul was a former script coordinator in network TV for close to a decade before shifting to the world of design. Select credits include Friday Night Lights (NBC), Switched at Birth (ABC Family/Freeform), and Mercy (NBC).  Paul and I chat about Courier as the linchpin behind the scenes of Los Angeles typography. As the standard face for all motion picture and television screenplays, Courier's monospaced letterforms built the City of Angels into the entertainment capital of the world. While other businesses evolve their communication design past the hallmarks of the typewriter era, the movie & TV industries remain faithful to Courier and stay connected to Hollywood’s golden age.  We talk about: The history of Courier and why it remains the industry standard in TV & film Different examples of produced scripts and the various ways they are formatted Potential ways the film & TV industry can incorporate design principles into their work Paul Mendoza and I know each other from board service at AIGA Los Angeles. When I heard he had been a script coordinator, I was intrigued. Little did I know he had such a unique point of view about Courier.  In my conversation with my partner Michael Stinson, we talk about how to copyfit a page, and how that page is related to a system of type on multipage documents, and how that relates to not on the budget, but the efficacy of the design in communicating the concept.

In this episode, I chat with designer Steve Rachwal who used to work as a typesetter at EllaType on Sunset Boulevard from 1985 to 1988 on the Berthold phototypesetting computer system. EllaType was strictly a Berthold shop, which featured the best cut fonts in the world. Steve helped to typeset nearly the entire Motown music collection as they converted the LPs to CDs, including lots of liner notes and song lists. He also did a lot of typesetting work for Los Angeles-area design greats Sussman/Prejza and Burson-Marsteller.  He recounts the typesetting process pre-computer and walks us through what that was like. Towards the end of the interview, Briar Levit, director of the Graphic Means documentary joins us and asks her some questions herself.  I encountered Steve on my search for phototypesetting equipment for a cold type workshop. Alas, we never found working equipment and didn't run the workshop. But I was happy to find Steve. In my conversation with Michael Stinson, we discuss the value of typography for his career and he discusses type skills needed during the annual report days.  View the show notes here: http://typographydojo.com/004 Tweet questions or comments to me @TypographyDojo

In this session we get a rare peek at some of the type projects and mindset Rod and his team work on in their San Francisco design office, PSY/OPS. Rod also serves as Adjunct Professor of Type Design at California College of the Arts; and Instructional Lead at (The) Alphabetic Order. His passion for type and teaching are boundless, and he can usually be found experimenting with letters in some form, on screen or off. Towards the end, Michael Stinson and I discuss why typography is so essential to logotype design and development.

TypeEd began out of necessity. While running their design studio, teaching, and jurying design competitions both Rachel Elnar and Michael Stinson noticed a “lack of sensitivity” towards typography in design from designers in the industry. Typographic subtleties communicate magnitudes towards the overall interpretation of the piece that is being designed. In 2012 Rachel and Michael founded TypeEd, whose mission is “to educate designers, students and practitioners on the fundamental skills of typography. Graphic designers deserve a strong typographic foundation to practice typesetting, improve the quality of communication, and preserve the integrity of design.”

Michael Stinson (@MWStinson) is a veteran designer, educator, and business owner. In addition to his work as a professor of graphic design, he also runs Ramp Creative, a branding studio in Los Angeles, as well as Type Ed, a dedicated typographic education business which helps creative pros return to form in the fields of typesetting and layout. Together in this conversation we unravel some of today's worst typographic habits, and how to overcome them, share a few tips that all creatives can use to improve their type usage, and discuss some processes for working with clients.

(e.g., don't use hyphens in the first line) Don't use more than 13 words on a line (left-aligned), or 7 words on a line (centered) Aim for 50-70 characters per line (type size in points x 2 = measure width in picas) Don't build websites in Photoshop — it's not made for layout Habits Keep the reader in your mind.

Knowledge of the principles of type are very important in Graphic Design, however many designers aren't getting properly educated in this skill. In this episode we interview Typography expert and educator Michael Stinson of TypeEd and pick his brain about all things type and his experiences as a veteran designer.

Michael talks about typography, how he likes to keep things simple and why hyphens, paper, lemons, and Rachel make him happy.   www.thehappypodcast.com/episode08
