Jenny Frean
This is an RDInsights Archive recording from 2021 with textile designer Jenny Frean RDI, known for her refined use of colour, versatility and distinctive pattern construction. In conversation with Mike, Jenny reflects on the many stages of her long creative path and fascinating career, which in later life has evolved into a highly personal solo practice, allowing her to connect directly with the public through the online marketplace.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Arnold Schwartzman
Mike recently caught up with Arnold Schwartzman, RDI, for a brief follow-up to the original RDInsight recording from 2006. Arnold’s career began in the 1960s and spans television and editorial work, photography, branding, book design, and filmmaking, during which he won an Oscar for his documentary Genocide. And in later years, he became something of a favourite on the cruise circuit, giving talks on all manner of creative subjects. Now at 90, Arnold is still working away on new projects.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Ivan Chermayeff
Mike Dempsey is in conversation with the legendary graphic designer Ivan Chermayeff, Honorary RDI (1932 - 2017). Born in Britain, the son of the notable Russian architect Serge Chermayeff, Ivan made his career in the United States, creating many iconic logos, visual identities and design projects around the world. His legacy lies not just in the well-known logos and visual identities we see every day, but in the idea of design as “clear thinking made visible”, elegant, functional, and enriched with intelligence and joy. I was very fortunate to have had this conversation with him. I hope you enjoy it. Archive recording date: 21 Aug 2007.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
