Tall Tales from a Large Man
Aaron Draplin, Web Design Day 2012 - Pittsburgh, PA
Tall Tales from a Large Man
Using scientific proof and state-of-the-art multimedia techniques, Aaron Draplin delivers a suckerpunch of a talk that aims to provide bona fide proof of work, the highs and lows of a ferociously independent existence and a couple of tall tales from his so-called career in the cutthroat world of contemporary graphic design. Just a regular American guy with a trajectory a little dirtier than yours, this video is available to all viewers—who are brave enough to watch. If you are a youngster, you may find yourself inspired to attack your design future in a different way. If you are established, you may leave feeling grateful you don’t have anything to do with him. Hard to say.
