#32 - Designer Chris Glass

Creative City Podcast

Designer Chris Glass (chrisglass.com) intended to go to school to study film, but wound up in Visual Communication, transitioning from analog to computer-based work on the cusp of the digital revolution. We talk about how he progressed from creating CD-ROMS (remember those?) to designing the logo for the Obama administration’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, how taking daily photos turned into a motivator to lead an interesting life, and why the Beliebers came after him on Twitter. We also discussed: - How being attracted to a “rock sensibility” led him to design everything from album covers to t-shirts - Finding the rhythm and the beauty of having mundane rest days - His Haile Foundation Fellowship focused on learning more about photography and celebrating the way it can bring people together - The importance of physically meeting in a space and exploring it together - Launching the new PhotoScouting Cincinnati book (available April 3rd!) and Pixels & Ink co-working space Visit: chrisglass.com http://chrisglass.com PhotoCorps.org http://www.photocorps.org/ pixelsand.ink http://www.pixelsand.ink wireandtwine.com http://wireandtwine.com @glass on Twitter @thephotocorps on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thephotocorps/ PeoplesLiberty.org Head to CreativeCityPodcast.com for links and previous episodes, and sign up for the mailing list to keep up with Cincinnati’s amazing community of creatives.
