Designer, podcaster, and pioneering digital creator, Maurice Cherry, joins us on Overtime. In this episode, Maurice shares what he’s up to at Glitch as the Head of Media and the history behind how Revision Path became a podcast and how it’s grown and changed in the last 5 years. He also shares the intention behind the 28 Days of the Web project—an initiative to profile different black designers and developers during the month of February.
Who are the next generation of designers creating works that are going to illustrate what it is to be a designer at this time—whether that's expository things like tutorials, or whether it's more didactic things like textbooks, or essays, or things of that nature? That really got me to thinking about really, I think, just people of color in general, and how are we contributing to that?
Dan and Maurice also discuss what professional design organizations are bringing to the table and if our industry actually needs them. Maurice also shares thoughts on the work the AIGA is doing and how it could be improved. You’ll want to listen until the end to hear about the BIG project Maurice is working on next that includes hearing from the next generation of designers and he shares some super simple advice for designers.
