The Rejections of Drew Dernavich

Dernavich is a well-known Boston-based graphic facilitator and cartoonist for many publications such as The New Yorker (including this week's edition), the Wall Street Journal, TIME and the Boston Globe. We caught up with him via an email interview inspired by an invitation to an event sure to inspire fear, loathing and empathy: The Rejection Show.

Marketing Magicians and Advertising Wizardry

Suggested links from Leah Silverman: Hocus Pocus. For all you antique postcard buffs, a story about a 50-year-old trunk from a magician turned priest. Wizard Academy. Roy Williams is a great writer and teacher. Nice book list and Monday morning newsletter on marketing, advertising and design. UseIt.com: Tips on marketing, web usability and user interface design. Hosts of the Usability Conference. (The downside is that Jacob Nielsen doesn't use graphics, mostly due to optimize download time, but also because he doesn't want to hire an artist!)
