After rediscovering Michael Bierut's classic essay titled "Why Designers Can't Think" from his college days, Joe Marianek (YG8) wrote an article for Print Magazine about why designers still can't think. Though much has changed over the years, Joe points out that process- and portfolio-based schools still don't agree with one another, even though they're competing for the same jobs. Read the entire article here.

To kick off idsgn's Fresh & Hungry interview series, Chris Rubino (YG5) talked with Kyle Bean (YG9) about evolving as a designer and his tactile approach to illustration and set design. "I like using everyday materials the most, as they are obviously easily accessible but also have an immediacy or familiarity to them - So that when people look at the images/objects that I create I hope that they can understand what the material is that I have used to create them," said Kyle.

Throughout the rest of the week, Chris will continue to post interviews with some of his favorite winners from the Young Guns 9 class. Stay tuned for interviews with GrandArmy, Dana Tanamachi, Elizabeth Weinberg, and Sean Freeman.

YG9 winner Dan Cassaro was recently interviewed for the Sharpie Artist blog about dream projects, pizza parties, and his favorite Sharpie.

"I do a lot of my pen work and doodling with Sharpe Fine Point. I usually like using cheap paper and letting the ink pool up in the edges and bleed a bit. It's nice to take those drawings that show a human hand and bring them into the computer and add that dimension. Using pen on paper helps keep me tied to the physical which is something I never want to lose touch with," said Dan. Read the interview in full here.
