MY EFFING CAREER— When you're born in a town called Media, your career path is pretty much preordained. It has to be, right?And when you end up leading the design teams at blue-chip magazine brands at Condé Nast, Hearst, and Time Inc., the prophecy is then fully realized. (Yes, I just watched Dune). But the journey in between is not as cushy as you might imagine. Since the age of 10, with his mother's admonition—“you need to have a job”—ringing in his ears, designer John Korpics has found work doing all of the following: he's bent sheetwork into duct metal, cleaned windows at factories, he was a fitness instructor, he had a paper route. He worked his way through college in food service—cleaning chicken, wiping counters, serving meals.When you hear the title creative director, you'd be forgiven if your mind painted a picture. You know the type—the thoroughbred who studied at Parsons or SVA, apprenticed under Tibor Kalman or Roger Black, who gets included on some “30 Under 30” list. That's not John Korpics. He's worked hard to get where he's gotten. Korpics will tell you that. He told me that:“I always felt like I was the Pete Rose of magazine designers. I hustle, I work hard, I crank stuff out. Occasionally I get one and I hit one out of the park, but there are people in this industry that I think are truly giants. And I've never quite thought of the work I did in that league, but I am always inspired by them.”And then, one day, he was 24 and hired to art direct his first magazine. And then another. And another. And like many of us, some of his jobs haven't worked out. And when that happens, what does Korpics do? He gets himself another job. Like the time he became a Manhattan bike messenger after one particularly messy ending.“I delivered mops to the 79th Street Boat Basin. I delivered products to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. I delivered clothes from a studio to Vogue. I delivered a lot of lunches. And I actually really enjoyed it. Although I will say it's not possible to make a living doing that. On my best day ever, I think I made about $90.”It takes a special person to survive in the magazine business. Forty years in, Korpics is still at it. He's focused on the big picture now—brands, systems, pixels—at Harvard Business Review, the 102-year-old publishing wing of the 116-year-old Harvard Business School. Yes, mom, he's still got a job.Let's meet John.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Mountain Gazette and Commercial Type Print Is Dead (Long Live Print!) is a production of Magazeum & MO.D ©2021–2024

It's a new year and that means a new season of TNT! This year we're still digging into full-length albums - but we're also uncovering the record labels that provide the world with these releases and the rare gems that we look forward to uncovering. On our first show of Season 5 (!) Thanh + Tim talk about the 2017 Luaka Bop release, "Reflections: Mojave Desert" by British electronic music producer, DJ, and musician Floating Points.

“Once you have broken down the rules, literally anything is possible.'”In the business of magazine design, few names resonate as profoundly as Neville Brody. And, to this day, he lives by those words. Renowned for his groundbreaking work and commitment to pushing design boundaries at magazines like The Face, Arena, Per Lui, and others, Brody is a true auteur in the world of design. We talked to him at the launch of his spectacular new monograph, The Graphic Language of Neville Brody 3.Nurtured on 1970s British punk music, which rejected anything that appeared self-indulgent or overwrought, Brody found the perfect launch pad at The Face, the London-based music, fashion, and culture monthly, created by editor Nick Logan in 1980.The Face inspired an array of fellow magazine rule-breakers, including the late Tibor Kalman, David Carson, and Fabien Baron, who calls Brody's work “powerful, aggressive, and simple.”Since then, Brody's journey in graphic design has been marked by a relentless, almost unforgiving pursuit of innovation. His magazine design challenged conventional norms and redefined visual storytelling. Brody's design approach is characterized by a rejection of conventional grid systems and editorial hierarchies, and a willingness to break free from established design rules.And he thinks magazines today are missing a giant opportunity:“That's the beauty of print, that you can't achieve in the same way digitally. Digital is so commoditized. We're not expressing content anymore. We're just delivering it.Neville Brody's legacy in magazine design lies in his fearless approach to challenging the status quo and his ability to capture the zeitgeist of his time. By pushing the boundaries of traditional graphic design, he not only influenced the look and feel of magazines but also inspired a generation of designers to embrace innovation, experimentation, and a spirit of creative rebellion. Brody's work continues to be celebrated for its enduring impact on the evolution of graphic design and its role in shaping the visual language of contemporary media.

When describing experiences, New York–based artist and author Maira Kalman almost always goes for the extremes: an instance can be at once stupid and smart, miserable and hopeful, sad and delighted. A bittersweet point of view forms the throughline of her work—which spans more than 30 books for adults and children, as well as performance, opera, film, and industrial and set design—and gives each project its distinct ability to encapsulate the reality of being human. Tragedy and beauty can, and will, she believes, appear out of nowhere. In both instances, it's what one does with it that determines how the event will impact their life. Kalman, 71, credits this sensibility to credits this sensibility to people and places of significance in her life, specifically to the early death of her husband, the celebrated graphic designer Tibor Kalman, and to her late mother, Sara Berman, in addition to her Jewish heritage and birthplace of Tel Aviv. In tandem with her practice, Kalman makes time to indulge in seemingly mundane activities, such as taking long walks, cleaning, and reading obituaries, which she sees as activators of life. Each gesture is a means for finding clarity in the midst of chaos.On this episode, Kalman talks with Andrew about observation as a creative act, the allure of books, the importance of not thinking, and performing daily rituals as a means for staying sane.

When it comes to the design world, the name Stefan Sagmeister billows across the land. You've seen his work with a diverse body spanning the Rolling Stones, HBO, the Guggenheim Museum and Time Warner. Along with winning almost every prestigious design award out there, Stefan has a Grammy award, for the limited edition set he designed for The Talking Heads. This episode is not just for designers, we talk in depth about happiness, meditation, talk therapy, exercise, and working for his hero Tibor Kalman. What took my love of Stefan to the next level is the work he has done to be a better human being and living a more fulfilling life. As you'll see, he is a total sweetheart of a person. Instead of the force-fed concept of retirement, Stefan decided he didn't want to ever retire and instead decided to just take a one year sabbatical every 7 yrs. During his second sabbatical he undertook a project to explore happiness. Well he opened up pandora's box and eight years later, the result was a beautiful documentary called, The Happy Film. Unbuckle your mind, and open your heart, it's grow time!

Over the past few years there have been some pretty big movie identities designed by Pentagram. These include "DC Entertainment", JK Rowling’s  films "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" and "The Crimes of Grindelwald", Steven Spielberg‘s adaptation of "Ready Player One", "Birds of Prey'" the Warner Brothers identity... the list goes on.The person behind all of this is Emily Oberman.Emilys had an incredible career in design. After graduation she joined the legendary design studio M&Co, collaborating with Tibor Kalman. She also cofounded the design studio Number Seventeen, where she worked on the identities for "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" and "Saturday Night Live." Then in 2012, Emily joined Pentagram’s New York office as a partner.In this interview we discover the surprisingly relatable story of how she got to work on identities for blockbuster movies. We also uncover the process her and her team take when working on logos and identities for movies. Then we end the interview with an honest discussion about how she was approached by Pentagram, and what it’s like to be a partner at one of the most well-know design agencies in the world.Show notes and interview transcription: https://logogeek.uk/podcast/emily-obermanThis episode is sponsored by Webflow, the tool that gives designers the power of code in a visual interface, allowing you to directly build whatever they have in mind without engineers.

Ten years ago, the Austrian-born, New York–based graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister—famous for his attention-grabbing exhibitions, posters, and books, as well as for his impeccable album covers for bands like The Rolling Stones, OK Go, and Aerosmith—walked onto the stage at the TED Global conference in Oxford, England. There to present his findings about the power of time off, he spoke specifically about the virtues and values, personal and professional, of taking a sabbatical every seven years, something he started to do in 2000 and has continued to practice since. Coming in the midst of the Great Recession, the talk resonated widely: its resulting video has been watched more than three million times. Clearly, Sagmeister was, and is, onto something. Even if it’s something most people can only dream about. Since then, Sagmeister has gone on yet another sabbatical—his third, in 2016—this time stopping in Mexico City, Tokyo, and the town of Schwarzenberg, Austria, over the course of a year. (For his first sabbatical, he was in New York City; for his second, Bali.) On this episode of Time Sensitive, the 56-year-old looks back, with a fuller-picture view, at his three periods of time off. Digging in to how the sabbaticals created opportunities for incubating ideas that became two massive multi-year undertakings—one a project on happiness, the other on beauty—Sagmeister shares with Spencer Bailey how certain things have changed for his practice since that TED Talk a decade ago. In 2012, he joined forces with Jessica Walsh; their firm, Sagmeister & Walsh, now operates in a different, slightly larger office than the one he was in, and having another partner at the firm has shifted how things run overall. Still, Sagmeister’s signature approach to design remains as exuberant as ever. For clients including the duffel-bag brand Baboon, the Jewish Museum, and the Miami advertising agency Gut, the firm continues to produce inventive and playful work.

Keira Alexandra started her career at the seminal design studio M&Co., founded by Tibor Kalman, followed by creative director positions at MTV and Sundance TV. She has taught in the graphic design graduate program at Yale since 1999 and frequently lectures about design. Kiffer Keegan began as a cinematographer and motion designer. Before becoming a partner at Work-Order, he worked as senior designer at Comedy Central and as lead designer and animator for over a dozen major luxury and media accounts, from Acura to HBO. In this episode we’ll speak with Kiera and Kiffer about the rebranding of The Huffington Post that their studio did last year.

ON NOT OVERWORKING AN IDEA: “The hard part is for some people is allowing themselves TO be that simple, and overcomplicate it, not more is better, but to overthink it … sometimes you're just done, you have it. It might take five minutes or it might take 3 weeks—but just stop when you know you have it.” — Michael Braley: Creative Director, Designer, Simplifier. In this episode we talk to Michael Braley graphic designer with over 25 years of experience in branding and annual reports and most notably poster design. I catch up with him from Kentucky to discuss the power of research, discovery, and sometimes just to know the right time to finish that project. During our chat, I learned a lot more than I knew before. His father, Richard Braley, designed the logo for http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/logo/behr (Behr paint), he aspired to be in the same company as the co-workers at https://www.sfmoma.org/artist/Cahan_&_Associates (Cahan and Associates), and that even though he has created some visually stunning http://www.braleydesign.com/posters-1/ (posters), he values the process of coming up with them more than the final. (Sound right up our alley) Links, Mentions & resources http://csadesign.com/ (Charles Anderson) http://www.davidcarsondesign.com/ (David Carson) https://www.aiga.org/medalist-tiborkalman (Tibor Kalman) http://designishistory.com/1980/neville-brody (Neville brody) https://www.aiga.org/medalist-ivanchermayeffandtomgeismar (Chermayeff Geismar) http://www.paul-rand.com/ (Paul Rand) http://www.designishistory.com/1940/lester-beall/ (Lester Beall) http://www.designishistory.com/1920/piet-zwart/ (Piet Zwart) Paul Schuitema Dick Elffers http://www.designishistory.com/1920/jan-tschichold/ (Jan Tschichold) Cahan and Associates https://www.designthinkers.com/Speakers/Bill-Cahan.aspx (Bill Cahan) http://www.bobdinetzdesign.com/ (Bob Dinetz) http://sharriebrooksdesign.com/ (Sharrie Brooks) http://www.kevinroberson.com/ (Kevin Roberson) Favorite Typefaces http://www.historygraphicdesign.com/the-age-of-information/the-international-typographic-style/736-helvetica (Helvetica) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akzidenz-Grotesk (Akzidenz-Grotesk) http://www.fontbureau.com/nhg/history/ (Neue-Haas Grotesk) https://www.typography.com/fonts/champion-gothic/overview/ (Champion) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OCR-A (OCR-A) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabon (Sabon) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade_Gothic (Trade Gothic) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_Gothic (Franklin Gothic) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futura_(typeface) (Futura) https://www.typography.com/fonts/gotham/overview/ (Gotham) Where else to find Michael: or http://www.braleydesign.com/ (Personal Website) onhttps://www.instagram.com/theBraleyDesign/ ( Instagram) onhttps://www.facebook.com/BraleyDesign ( Twitter)

Inspired by the last episode’s discussion on manifestos and our guiding design principles, we use this episode to talk about the one piece of design that has had the most influence on our own practices and was fundamental in shaping our view of design. Rory talks about Tibor Kalman’s lecture Good History/Bad History and how that has guided his thinking on process, aesthetics, and design history. Then Jarrett talks about how Project Projects’s identity for SALT showed him that design was much bigger than he originally thought and how one can use design to foster your own interests.
