Paul Sahre on designing what you want
I Am Not a Designer/Recorded 2012
A close reading, kept within reach.
Paul Sahre takes graphic design & illustration as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in USA in 2012, the conversation is grounded in Paul's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
“Nothing interesting happens when you know where you’re going with something”, Paul Sahre believes.
