A&T Talks — Practical advice and insight for your creative journey in 30 minutes or less.


:: BREAKDOWN

In this A&T Talks episode, designer, teacher, and author, Michael Shumate joins us to talk about the concepts in his new book Logo Design Theory: How Branding Design Really Works. He taught graphic design and illustration for twenty-five years and is now generously sharing his discoveries on the principles of logo design with the world.  Michael has designed identities in all areas of branding: commercial, government, institutional, product and retail.

While teaching Branding Design he taught approximately 900 students and graded over 2700 branding projects. That teaching experience, in addition to his professional work, helped him discover fundamental principles of identity design, the core principles of logo design, that remain true, regardless of current fads or fashions. Today, he continues his teaching tradition via his Youtube channel where he is creating what is arguably a masterclass on how to design logos that adhere to the principles of design and can stand the test of time.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
