This is Design Matters with

Debbie Milman from Design design observer.com.

On this program, Debbie Millman talks with Gail Anderson,

winner of an AIG medal for excellence in design about her career and what

she's learned along the way.

That was a great learning experience for me, to learn how to defend what you're doing and to do it for a reason and not just because it looks good.

Here's Debbie Milman.

When it comes to interesting careers in design, you can't do it any better than Gail Anderson.

She's the former creative director of design at Spotgo, and before that, she was Senior

Art Director at the Visually Innovative magazine Rolling Stone.

Steve Heller has praised her work for its eloquent editorial and entertainment design using bold typography,

illustration, and photography to engage audiences

and visual connection.

Gail.

Thank you, Debbie.

So great to finally have you here.

And I have been waiting for years to ask you this question. I understand that when you were little, you used to make little Jackson Five and Partridge Family magazines.

Your big stories were Donnie versus Michael,

who do you love, L U. V.

Peppered with the occasional David Cassidy expose.
