First day of Visuelt 08 is over. The lectures were great, as was the Visuelt Screening curated by Rune Spaans and Franck Aubry. The first lecture was by Jonathan Harris, giving some insight into his various projects. Next up was Arnt from Øyafestivalen. He talked about the festival’s focus on environment and how they’d always focused on design. I actually managed to come in late and miss the part where he talked about me and the era when I did the design for them, but I’ve been told he said nice things. Maira Kalman, who I’d already seen at the AIGA Next conference in Denver last October, was great once again. She has an incredible humour and wit, and such great work. Check out one of her speeches at Ted. Finally Rick Poynor offered some words of wisdom. I wish they’d put him on a little earlier when the energy level was higher though. Tomorrow looks great too, even though my friend and ex-colleague from MTV Roberto Bagatti had to cancel.
