Local! (sort of)

So I’m reading Speak Up, one of the best design forums around, when I run across a site called Six°, a zine created by a group of North Carolina State design students. I click on the current multimedia issue, and I see a familiar name: Tyler Galloway, a former KC resident.

Tyler is currently completing his Master’s Degree at NC State, with plans return to KC and teach at the Kansas City Art Insitute.

It’s a small, small world.

Local!

flow14 is based in Kansas City and I’m constantly impressed by the quality of design and advertising work found in this town. So from time to time I’ll be highlighting some of my favorite local sites.

There’s no better place to begin than American Copywriter — a blog from the fine folks at Sullivan Higdon & Sink (who just launched a new site themselves). The highlight of the site is the American Copywriter podcast put on (nearly) every week by John January and Tug McTighe. They do a fantastic job covering advertising, pop culture, and so much more. Don’t miss it.
