This is Design Matters with Debbie Milman from Design Observer.com.

On this program, Debbie Millman talks with Brian Singer about why he went to work for Facebook,

about why he started to work for Facebook, about why he started his 1,000 journals project,

and about why the audience for younger designers should not be limited to the design community.

That's what they're benchmarking themselves against,

and I think there's a whole world beyond that that we should be looking at.

It's not about making an impression to other designers, it's about making an impression to the world.

Here's Debbie Melma.

There's a website called I am Some Guy.com.

It's the online entryway into the 1000 journals project

which collects journal entries from people all over the world

and has been the subject of a book and a documentary. But the guide behind the 1000 journals project is not just some guy to designers.

He is Brian Singer whose achievements in art and design make him that guy.

Brian Singer currently manages communication design team at Facebook.

He's also the editor of a new book called Graphic Content

True Stories from Top Creatives.

He's here to talk about what those stories say about leading a creative life

and to tell some of his own stories.

Brian, welcome to Design Matters.

Thanks so much for having me.
