I was having lunch with friends David Perry and Kevin Donlin last Friday (after their interview with Sarah Needleman at The Wall Street Journal ), when David and Kevin turned the tables - and Kevin's Flip camera on me. I'm the one supposed to be asking the questions, folks.
My first comment; "stay off the Internet," meaning don't spend all of your time on job boards and think you're proactively looking for a job. Most jobs are not found on job boards!
A very interesting YouTube video featuring Creative director Sol Sender. He tells the story of conception and birth of the Obama 08 logo, including the strategy behind it, developmental concepts and finalist designs for the identity not chosen by the campaign. Sender, now a strategist with design agency VSA Partners in Chicago, was creative director and principal of his own design firm, Sender LLC, when he was hired to create the campaign logo.
Sender and his team were engaged to do the work by MODE, a Chicago-based motion design studio with an existing relationship with David Axelrod, the Obama campaigns chief strategist. Obama 08 campaign took on design responsibility for the logo in mid-2007, and extended the identity across multiple applications.
