Debbie Millman the President of the design division at Sterling Brands, an international design consultancy. She has been there for fourteen years and in that time she has worked on the redesign of global brands for Pepsi, Procter & Gamble, Campbell’s, Colgate, Hershey and Hasbro. Debbie is President of the AIGA, the professional association for design. She is a contributing editor at Print Magazine and the chair of the new Masters in Branding program at the School of Visual Arts. In 2005, she began hosting “Design Matters with Debbie Millman,” the first weekly radio talk show about design on the Internet. She is the author of two books: How To Think Like A Great Graphic Designer (Allworth Press, 2007), and The Essential Principles of Graphic Design (Rotovision, 2008). Her new book, Look Both Ways: Illustrated Essays on the Intersection of Life and Design, will be published by How Books in Fall 2009.
I listened to the Drenttel and Laskey interview with Debbie Millman. Design Matters is a series of talks with different designers about their experiences, their thoughts and ideas about design. In the interview they talked about the shift of design during the recession. They talk about how print is starting to get replaced but Lasky thinks that it will last, as do I. I don't think that print will ever go out out. She said that newspapers and magazines going out is not opportunity, but tragedy. I agree with her. I think magazines and newspapers are just things that can be kept forever, sometimes used as a sentimental item where you could never really hold onto an article that is on the internet.. unless physically printed out.
