Designing, Writing, Teaching: Not My Real Job
In this funny and entertaining video, Designing, Writing, Teaching: Not My Real Job, Michael Bierut outlines all of the little decisions that led him to the work that he is doing today. Through the years he has worked as a designer, writer, editor, blogger and teacher. He describes the pleasures and perils of working for 30 years with an intentionally confusing job description. This video is from a lecture given to D-Crit Program students at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, March 2011.
