Making Eye Candy into Design History - A Story of Addiction

Steven Heller

About this video

Description

Steven Heller surveys his passion / addiction for the artifacts that are the foundations of graphic design and popular culture histories. Design practice is one part inspiration, two parts talent and many parts knowledge and insight into the past and present. It is not enough to be an island - design today is interconnected with history and more.
