For my imPrint feature this week I interview Sean Adams. In my opening paragraph I mention a TeachEvil story I posted last year about Sean. And that story linked to another imPrint feature I wrote.
Does that make this TeachEvil post way too meta?
Anyway, my title is, “How Sean Adams Transforms His Childhood Insecurities into Brilliant [...]

> Andrew Byrom, Graphic Designer, Typeface Designer and Professor

Michael Bierut’s in town, and he’ll be speaking April 19th and 20th. Week 14! Finals! Senior show! How rude!
Well, in case you are available, you should order your tickets for his presentation next Thursday at the Downtown Independent Theater – AIGA student members: $15 and non-student members: $30 – ASAP, because as of this writing, [...]
Before Shepard Fairey went on stage at the Ahmanson a few weeks ago – details here – he told me that his Subliminal Projects gallery in Silver Lake was currently showing Jamie Reid’s work. Since I cover punk’s bad boy of graphics in my “Design History 2″ class I checked it out and was impressed [...]
Next Thursday my Design History 2 class goes public and moves to the Ahmanson for Petrula’s spring 2012 “3×3″ panel with Lyndia (dot com) Weinman, Shepard “Obey” Fairey,* and Killspencer’s own Spencer Nikosey. Here are the vitals:

There’s something funny about Design History. And Michael Gross will be visiting my class in the LAT Media Center this Thursday evening at 7:30 to tell us a thing or two about it.

Are you coming to the opening reception of the “3rd Annual Design History and Context Exhibition” this Saturday, January 21st? You’re invited, you know. It’s work by my UCLA Extension students and it’s at the 1010 Westwood Gallery, fourth floor, from 1 to 4:30pm.
The student/designers will be around to discuss their work. And refreshments [...]
Finals week. Everyone’s in 24/7 work mode. But just for laughs, let’s say you actually have a few hours to spare tomorrow, Tuesday evening. Huh? And let’s say, since you’re in the mode, you feel like some entertainment that’s design related. And that’s free… except for $3 parking.
If that’s the case, then you’re in luck! [...]
Throughout AIGA National’s Pivot conference, none of the on-stage staff smiled anywhere near as much, or as radiantly, as Art Center’s own Sean Adams. To be fair, though, all the rest of that group hailed from East of here.
I’m happy to say I’ve gotten heaps of praise from my review of Pivot. Mostly, designers thanked [...]
