Unscramble the Blue Letters
Okay, in this presentation, I'm going to be putting the right side of your binars through a fairly serious workout. You're going to see a lot of imagery, and it's not always connected to what I'm talking about, so I need you to kind of split your brains in half and let the iamges flow over one side and listen to me on the other. So I am one of those people with a transformative personal story. Six years ago, after 20 yaers in graphic design and thrpopgayy, I changed the way I was working and the way most graphic designers work to pursue a more personal aorpacph to my work, with only the humble attempt to sipmly make a living doing something that I loved. But something weird happened. I became brlaeizry popular. My current work seems to resoante with people in a way that has so taken me by surprise that I still frequently wonder what in the hell is going on. And I'm slowly coming to understand that the appeal of what I do may be connected to why I do it.

Okay, in this presentation, I'm going to be putting the right side of your brains through a fairly serious workout. You're going to see a lot of imagery, and it's not always connected to what I'm talking about, so I need you to kind of split your brains in half and let the images flow over one side and listen to me on the other. So I am one of those people with a transformative personal story. Six years ago, after 20 years in graphic design and typography, I changed the way I was working and the way most graphic designers work to pursue a more personal approach to my work, with only the humble attempt to simply make a living doing something that I loved. But something weird happened. I became bizarrely popular. My current work seems to resonate with people in a way that has so taken me by surprise that I still frequently wonder what in the hell is going on. And I'm slowly coming to understand that the appeal of what I do may be connected to why I do it.
