Today's guest is Paula Scher. She is a Designer, Painter, and a Partner at Pentagram in the New York office. She is also....PAULA SCHER! The little ol' Quickie Podcast is just cruising. What a great time. During part one of this interview we talk about:-how she did not come from a creative family. -how she did not know what graphic design was until college. -the teacher who wasn't very nice to her when in college but later in her career asked her to come in and speak to his class of creatives. -the other teacher that changed her life, and how. -the designs she has seen out in the world that were influential to her. -the book she recently discovered and had yo buy immediately. -the designers and creatives that she looks up to now and why. -the packaging project she was a part of and why she is so proud of it...and it only uses Swiss Helvetica. I don't usually get nervous before interviews, but I was for this one. Paula has so many great stories to share and she doesn't hold back. Also, she is probably one of the most interviewed designers out there, and to have her say "thats a great question" to me? Love it. @pentagramdesign
