300-dartagnan-winford

What comes to mind when you think about HBCUs? Chances are, design isn’t at the top of the list. D’Artagnan Winford is out to change that. As the current art director at Jackson State University, he brings over a decade of experience to the table designing collateral for universities and colleges.

D’Artagnan talked about his current path to Jackson State, the need for stronger design programs in HBCUs, diversity in the design community, and more! Thanks for reaching out D’Artagnan!

Chris Barker

You may remember Chris Barker from last week’s interview with Brandy Spain. Chris’ design work has graced the cover of magazines —ย literally! We talked about how he came into design through print work, his plans for creating a platform for Black gay men (print and online) and the importance of representation in the design industry.

Andrew Bass

The last interview of 2013 is a really great one.

When you think of someone who has been out there fighting in the trenches for diversity in this industry, think of Andrew Bass. His work with AIGA was a huge inspiration behind showcasing designers here with Revision Path, and I’m honored to have had the chance to speak at length with him about his work and experiences in the design industry. I won’t spoil anything for you because there’s a lot of great information here from the perspective of a design veteran.

How fitting that today’s interview is on the fifth day of Kwanzaa, which represents purpose (nia). Without further ado, here’s Andrew!

Dewon Hall

I found out about Dewon through one of my Facebook groups, Black Designers United. Dewon is a very talented designer and art director, but he also has a unique perspective on the industry since he lives in a small Southern town. Who knew this kind of talent was coming out of Mississippi? Learn more about Dewon’s approach to projects and his thoughts on diversity in the design industry in this week’s interview. Enjoy!

Alex Pierce

Alex Pierce wears a lot of hats! (Maybe not literally, but who knows?) He’s a designer and an art director who creates print and creative designs that are really breathtaking. Our interview talks about his work, his motivations, and his side project Black in History. I have a feeling you’ll be hearing about this talented guy for years to come. Get into this week’s interview and learn more about Alex!
