OK, I confess. The whole gum-sucking, lip smacling thisng going on with me was because I was so nervous interviewing my design hero that I kept popping Ricola’s in my mouth to keep it from becoming as dry as dirt.

These loosers are talking cock do graphic design its such a wide subject, if you choose an illustrative version then you have the guidence from your tutors in anything you waant and in time you will learn so many different things all steming from the same core skills of balance composition clarity and impact, after you have them (which is what design is) you have the foundations for everything !!! its by far the best subject !!! lots of room for experiment, !!!

trust me.. be an architect.. architecture is more versatile than graphic design.. you can still do graphic design, but i am sure it would be rather tough the other way. my first love was architecture, but was rejected, ended up marrying graphic design, which is equally fun, but i do miss architecture. cheers

HELP! For 5 years, I wanted to be an architect but after work experience I found it quite solid.. What subjects do you need for graphic design in A level??? I need this quite soon(before my school starts in september) or I’ll have to be an architect lol…

Very inciteful. I was making it up as I went along. Inspite of their popularity, people like Larry King are always caught scanning at their notes for the next question and never listening to their guests answers. I’m just an amateur but I thought spontnaeity would work better for me than a script or a pile of note cards. Thanks for watching. It’s all about the genious that was Paul Rand, not me.

i think they could have got someone better to interview Mr Rand.
i think its htis guy’s style of interviewing, it doesnt flow together, he looks like he is making it up on the spot.
just a comment thats all.

it was actually a good interview. Although I don’t know much about him, this interview made me want to know a bit more. Seems like he has such a straightforward and practical way to go about the artistic process. I likey it. It’s very, um, un-exhausting.
