Ep. 104: Graphic Designer & Artist Paula Scher

Graphic designer Paula Scher grew up drawing pictures to escape a turbulent home life. Later, rebelling against suburban existence, she ventured to art school and became a hippie, and then art directed album covers in NYC. She’s been a partner at Pentagram since ‘91. In her ~50 years in the business she has blazed trails, upended boys’ clubs, committed “typographic blasphemy,” given form to the zeitgeist, and earned herself a reputation as one of the world’s most influential graphic designers. Images and more from our guest!Thanks to Adobe MAX for hosting us in the Airstream podcast lounge. We would LOVE for you to fill out our listener survey.
