Design is created and given away, communication is disseminated, our work is absorbed and if successful enmeshed in humanity. It is sacrificial. I am a designer, but first and foremost I am a public servant.

Old friends: Jazz Foundation of Memphis and Gill Sans Extra Bold

I talked to Irwin Sheft a few days ago about bringing the Jazz Foundation of Memphis to life again. It was great to hear from him. But then I went back and checked out the website I had built in frames back in 1996, still alive and somewhat kicking, restlessly, in it’s grave. I’ve since moved it to Wordpress where I’ll be loading content and customizing CSS for a while (www.memphisjazz.org). I’ve also been digging through some old rubble and am able to verify that the last time I used Gill Sans Extra Bold was 1994. I’ve been clean ever since.
