Hillman Curtis talk
Last night we attended the Hillman Curtis, talk organized by D&AD.
We have to be honest, we didn't know that much about hillmancurtis inc, before we went in. And today, we're not sure we know a great deal more. Having talked to a few others who went, the general feeling was Hillman showed a lot of projects that seemed very personal to him, but quite hard to grasp for people who weren’t familiar with his work. We would have liked to have heard his story on how he got to where he is today.
Having said that, anyone that rises to the top of their profession through a combination of talent, balls and hard work is worth listening to. We particularly liked his ‘living portraits’.

You should read his book MTIV. It sounds like he might have been having an off night because I love his books.
In MTIV he explains how he used to be a rocker from all sorts of bands and knowing that wasnt going to work he found his passion.
When he was a kid he would look at W2 posters and how those graphics would speak to him even though he couldn't read German, Russian.
His MTIV book is awesome give it a chance.
