Von Glitschka: The Reflex Blue Show #140
February 27th, 2015 | by Donovan Beery
Von Glitschka seems to draw more in a day than most of us draw in a year – just a crazy amount of talent and work has come from his studio over the years.
We speak of his new book – Take and Make Art: Hundreds of Royalty-Free Vector Illustrations for Discriminating Designers; his upcoming HOW talk – How to Respond to Rip-Offs; and changes in illustration over his twenty years in the field; and more. Enjoy.

Master’s Degree?: The Reflex Blue Show #139
January 19th, 2015 | by Donovan Beery
Welcome to Season 8 of The Reflex Blue Show! No idea what we have planned for this season, but we’ve started it anyway.
On this episode we invite Ashley McFeely and Joe Sparano to talk about what they’re doing now – going for that Master’s. Joe left the state – Ashley had to continue into a related field to stay in the city. What’s it like to continue on the education path, and why would you do it as a designer? We speak of these things and more. Enjoy.

Brent Stickles: The Reflex Blue Show #138
December 15th, 2014 | by Donovan Beery
The final of four interviews (not including the recap) from AIGA Minnesota’s Design Camp is with Brent Stickles of YYES.
Brent has been the Design Camp stage host / MC / one of the committee for the past four years, and he was great. Just listening to him, you can tell he’s a natural in front of an audience and a microphone. If I was in charge of a conference, I would put Brent right at the top of the list to MC – regardless of what kind of conference it was.
So, we speak Design Camp, branding a restaurant, YYES, and more.
Wow, that kind of also wraps up Season 7 of The Reflex Blue Show, we’ll be back in 2015 with Season 8…
