This was the first in the series of guest lectures from industry professionals. He is a skilled illustrator with a strong love for hand drawn typography. He has a distinct style which has found a place in the design industry. He shows his interests for music and culture in his work. I love the imperfections of his work, showing his human character. The loose style of illustration works so well. If the work had a more realist style it wouldn't have the same impact and quality which makes it successful.
In the lecture Johnny Hannah talked about how he creates his work and some of his career highlights such as his jazz projects and his work for 'The New York Times'. His talk was really inspiring and reminded me of the importance of the hand as your first and most important tool. Not all designers need to live in front of a mac. I also enjoyed how he has been able to pursue his love for his own style and find a successful life.
