Something Massive attends Creative Mornings – Michael Beirut
My friend and colleague, Tina Roth Eisenberg (aka Swiss Miss), hosts the fabulous Creative Mornings series here in NYC. This morning I, along with more than 300 other Creatives, had the opportunity and pleasure to hear an inspiring, though-provoking and reassuring talk by Michael Beirut. The event took place at the Galapagos Performance and Art space just blocks from our Brooklyn studio. His talk was all about clients and why we need to be thankful for the great clients who push us and allow us to do the work we all get to do. He called out ten of his best clients and showed us the work that they have enabled him to do – everything from the new bags for Sak’s Fifth Avenue to the beautiful and epic signage for the new New York Times building. It was definitely worth an early morning subway ride to hear this talk and be part of the top-notch NYC design community.
At all Creative Morning events all attendees wear “name tags” which are actually “conversation starters.” The night before the event, you are emailed a template to print out with a question you need to answer. For this event the question was “If I could wish for any speaker it would be…” My answer (pictured above) was the late Saul Bass. See more responses on the Creative Morning Flickr page (where I grabbed all the pics for this post).
