JESSICA HISCHE: A FRIEND OF TYPE
Jessica Hische is a typographic artist and letter illustrator. Her shop Tittle Case is in San Francisco where she works and conducts workshops. With her partner Erick Marinovich, a custom studio was created that best suited each others creative process and increased their professional outputs. She discussed her creative process which involves consistent rendering of "many iterations first" and analyzing of details. She stressed "learning to look" and the importance of consistent growth from going over the details. It gave me a new perspective on lettering vs. ornament and I look forward on exploring more this in the future. Overall, I found her work and dedication to her craft inspiring and enlightening, gaining a new respect for her profession.

Sean Adams: Inside the mind of master graphic designer...
Watching this video gave me some insight on the mind of a successful working graphic design professional. It reinforced the importance to pursue further private education in the arts, and also the political strength behind recognized arts organizations. He is the national president of American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) founded in 1914. They hold and curate a huge archive of works by some of the top designers. Besides going over AIGA's story, he talked about his path as a professional and suggestions for up and coming artists such as:
- Use your sources; teachers, peers, friends and other colleagues
- Learn from different media
- Explore blogs, trends and world cultures
- Design a focused portfolio: tangible and digital
He also explored topics like career paths such as teaching. Overall I think his message was that as an artist you never stop learning and growing; always evolving and moving forward.
