for all the stick ian gets i think he is a nice bloke.
TDR are dead but he isent, he said he is going to freelance could be interesting? he also said he wouldnt have a huge studio again.
Maybe a small one?

"i have to do the posters and tickets for that debate. SCARY!"
– rybo3/3When I was at college I had to do a poster for a talk/presentation by CartlidgeLevine. They were doing all the Designmuseum stuff at the time in pure MullerBrockman swiss style. Really beautiful work. I imitated it for the poster and made it look as though I had zoomed in and cropped into a tiny area of a Designmuseum DL events leaflet. It was printed litho in two specials and it was lovely. Everyone thought it was great, people in all years were coming to me for a copy. I was in the 1st year so it was a real treat to have 3rd years asking for a copy of my work.
Anyway, they didn't see the post until the arrived to do the talk. They asked specifically to meet the person who'd done the poster. I went over to say hello and shake their hands. They glared at me and said the poster was terrible, and they asked me what on earth I was thinking?
I was destroyed.
Moral of the story: Don't try and design a poster that Ian will like, try and design a poster that you will like and other people will like. You'll never capture his perception of himself and his work succesfully.
- I get 2 key points from this. 1. Don't ever meet people you look up to and 2. CartlidgeLevine are cunts.ian
- Hahaha, they weren't cunts. I actually went to see them a few years later and they were very nice.Horp
- what prickskelpie
- I think they just didn't think it encapsulted them fully, and the college was plastered with these posters...Horp
- It would be how I felt if I turned to do a talk and the posters were all in BLING style I guess.Horp
- yeah but even still, its an approximation of a style done by a student so you can either be a design prick or not.ian
- it's only a talk at a fuckign college, no need to be all precious abaaat it. innit?Khurram
- Anyway, its good advice there. Do something that represents our own take on what they do, otherwise just let him design hisian
- own poster.ian

I saw Ian Anderson at a design talk last year (or maybe the year before) and I can fully see why people would think him a bit of an arse and being cooler-than-thou and all that.
But I quite liked him, he was very very funny, had some great stories and seemed to be taking the piss rather than being the godfather of cool. Trevor Jackson and Swifty (I think thats his name) were talking too. Very good talk, IA was a very engaging speaker.

Is Rybo in college on his own?
