The Design Talk I chose to listen to was with Dave Eggers, an author who writes about art and music for magazines, though his design work has been featured in periodicals including Print and Eye, and in 2003, his design work forMcSweeney's was featured in the National Design Triennial at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum in New York, and in the California Design Biennial.
Debbie Millman is an extremely important and admirable figure in the design world. She is President of the design division at Sterling Brands, one of the leading branding firms in the country. In addition, Millman is President of AIGA, while also maintaining chair of the School of Visual Arts' master's program in Branding. She is a well-known author, an editor for Print magazine, and finally, hosts the podcast "Design Matters".
According to the Sterling Brands website, "Design Matters" is a design podcast hosted by Debbie Millman that is host to a stimulating point of view on graphic design, branding, and cultural anthropology. Millman and her guests explore challenging and compelling topics found within today's design world.
What I found most interesting about her interview with Dave Eggers was that he constantly felt like his work had fallen short and rarely liked anything he ever did. Considering what an amazingly talented person he is, I found this to be pretty fascinating. Though I hardly compare to his talent, I do find myself disliking a lot of what I create, as well. Regardless of how he feels about his work, Eggers still claims he has a strong sense of what is good and what is bad, also interesting.
