Scratching the Surface: Michael Bierut
<p>Michael Bierut needs no introduction. As a partner at Pentagram since 1990, he’s worked on projects ranging from logos and environmental signage systems, books and packaging for clients including Verizon, <em>The New York Times</em>, MIT Media Lab, and Hillary Clinton. But Michael is also a prolific writer, having co-founded <em>Design Observer</em> in 2003 and co-editing the <em>Looking Closer</em> series, and in this episode, I talk with Michael about that writing. We talk about the origins of <em>Design Observer</em>, how he started writing, and how the public’s growing awareness of graphic design has changed the discourse.</p>
