Above: Proposals for the Kansas City Seal by Carl Kurtz
We met with Carl Kurtz, a former student of Roy Roy Kelly and a former teacher of ours. He is a brilliant story teller, craftsman, educator, artist, designer and the list goes on..and on..and on. As always, we found his words educational and inspiring. Talking with him was one of the highlights of our summer. If you have ever had the privilege of talking with Carl, you would know that not only does he inspire you on the particular project you are seeking his advice for, but, his words can be applied to other aspects of your life. We came to seek advice for our idea, but we received so much more.
Here are some of Carl's suggested reading + viewing
to help inspire our project:
79 Short Essays on Design by Michael Bierut
The Cheese Monkeys by Chip Kidd
The Learners by Chip Kidd
Mutiny on the Bounty (preferably the Marlon Brando version)
more to come...
