Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kenjiro Kirton on How Design Doesn’t (Only) Happen at a Desk
Q: What one core principle would you strip your practice down to?
The core principle would be research, because it underpins the entire process, enables the discovery of new methods and collaborators, and provides a foundation for developing a project from concept to execution.
Peter Smart on Why Your Design Skills Still Matter in the Age of AI
Q: Our first question comes from Alex, and is our design system still useful when products start changing themselves?
Yes, design systems remain valuable as a fundamental ingredient of the next form of interfaces, but the emphasis shifts to how they are produced, managed, and how prescriptive they are rather than rigid specifications.
Debra Bishop on Making Magazines
Q: What drew you into editorial design in the beginning?
Debra shares that she initially came to New York aiming to design record covers but ended up being influenced by Paula Scher to pursue editorial design instead.
Pablo Martin on Building an Agency Culture In-House
Q: What drew you to design in the first place?
Pablo describes his early talent in drawing from a young age and how it led him to explore different forms of design, eventually leading to a passion for typography and graphic design.
Nadia Tzuo on Storytelling Through Title Design
Q: What makes a title sequence really successful in your eyes?
A successful title sequence helps the story and sets the right expectations for the audience while engaging them with the narrative.
