Andy Altmann lecture on the 28th

I had fun creating something fun inspired by Andy Altmann

I attended the second lecture in the RDA Spring Lecture Series: Transparency Exposing Graphic Design last night with guest speaker, Andy Altmann, founder of Why Not Associates, London. Lately, I have been wondering if I still want to be a graphic designer, and this series is just what I needed to refresh my perspective.

I loved 'Andy's Shite' box, a menagerie of matchbooks, prostitute calling cards, slides of random ebay sellers, found objects and anything that would fit into a small photo album. He pointed out that as designers we commonly love all kinds of design, most especially bad design.

There is nothing like getting an inside peak inside the mind and process of an accomplished an innovative designer. His work is incredible and illuminating. Plus he had a 'right randy sense of humor', which is the mark of any great communicator.
