Description

Alison Woods, Atari Graphic Designer Alison Woods was a graphic designer at Atari from 1982 to 1984.

Later, she was Vice President and Creative Director at Kidsoft, a CD-ROM based software magazine for kids. This interview took place on May 26, 2016. Teaser quotes: "I wanted to have an exploding robot on the front of the package, and that was deemed too violent." "One guy said to the other guy, 'See? I told you not to pay 'em!' I'm thinking, 'Oh my god, what am I dealing with here?'" Alison's web site: http://www.alisonwoods.com
