Tomorrows Truth
Barbara KrugerBarbara Kruger was born in Newark, New Jersey, in 1945. After attending
Syracuse University, the
School of Visual Arts, and studying art and design with
Diane Arbus at Parson’s School of Design in New York, Kruger obtained a design job at
Condé Nast Publications. Working for
Mademoiselle Magazine, she was quickly promoted to head designer. Later, she worked as a graphic designer, art director, and picture editor in the art departments at
House and Garden, Aperture, and other publications. This background in design is evident in the work for which she is now internationally renowned. She layers found photographs from existing sources with pithy and aggressive text that involves the viewer in the struggle for power and control that her captions speak to. In their trademark black letters against a slash of red background, some of her instantly recognizable slogans read “I shop therefore I am,” and “Your body is a battleground." Much of her text questions the viewer about feminism, classicism, consumerism, and individual autonomy and desire, although her black-and-white images are culled from the mainstream magazines that sell the very ideas she is disputing. As well as appearing in museums and galleries worldwide, Kruger’s work has appeared on billboards, buscards, posters, a public park, a train station platform in Strasbourg, France, and in other public commissions. She has taught at the
California Institute of Art,
The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and the
University of California, Berkeley. She lives in New York and Los Angeles.

Describe your design in one sentence.
“Jessica Hische’s work combines equal parts design, typography, illustration, brown sugar, and heavy cream.” (Thanks, Jason from the Heads of State, for perfectly summarizing my work!)
What inspired you to get into design?
I always knew I wanted to go to art school, in fact I transferred high schools in order to take more art classes. When I applied to school I thought I would be a painter or a sculptor—anything but a graphic designer—mostly because I didn’t really know what graphic design was. When I was in college I took a lot of electives in different art areas, always thinking I would end up majoring in that discipline. I loved glass, I loved wood-working, I loved painting/drawing, then I took a design class. I really loved the idea of having a problem to solve, of having limits and of having to communicate clearly what I (or the client) was trying to say. I liked how in design you were solving problems, that there were rules to follow, that the point was for people to GET what you were trying to communicate (unlike in fine art, where if people get it right away, you’re probably doing something wrong). I would procrastinate from all of my other work by working on design projects (I think a good way to figure out your passions are to look at what you do when you’re procrastinating from everything else). When there was an assignment for a single poster I would do five. I just couldn’t get enough of it.
How do you work? What is your process?
For illustration work and lettering work, I always start with pencil sketches—not because it is my preferred way to work, but because clients need to approve something before I can move to final. My pencils used to be quite rough but because I’ve been doing more and more lettering work for advertising clients, they’ve become more refined. After a sketch is approved, I jump into illustrator, usually not tracing my sketch for the final. I believe that the translation from sketch to final without tracing helps me correct my mistakes as I go. I idealize like how you would if you were drawing a person from memory versus from real life. I don’t use a lot of fancy tricks in illustrator, mostly just the pen tool. After a few years of working intensely with the program it has become more natural for me to work on the computer than by hand. I don’t use a wacom tablet (I hold a pen like a child holds a crayon (in a tight fist that will only catalyze the carpal tunnel)), just a mouse or the trackpad on my laptop. I usually work with the grid on at first, starting with a single weight line and then adding thickness or ornament later depending on what I’m trying to achieve. I make general decisions at the beginning to figure out what kind of lettering I want to draw (a script? slanted or upright? thick or thin? sans serif? retro feeling or more modern feeling?) and then add decoration / ornamentation after the “skeleton” is drawn.
What are some of your inspirations?
I worked for Louise Fili for two and a half years, she has definitely had the biggest impact on my work. Her collection of random vintage type ephemera is astounding. I read design blogs and look at images online a lot. I love vintage packaging. I like silly roll–your–eyes–ish jokes. I love talking to strangers. I love interior design and vintage/retro furniture design. I’m inspired by other designers and illustrators all the time, by their motivation and by their great work.
How do you choose your colors?
If you saw my apartment, you would see that all the colors I use in my work are really just colors that I like. I love warm colors. I don’t really like the color purple. I am coming around to blue (aside from warmish robin’s egg blues which I LOVE). If I could put red/orange in everything I make I would.
Do you think that people/clients value the craft of creating letters?
At first some don’t, they try to get the effect they want by manipulating fonts themselves, but in the end you can only get true customization by hiring someone like myself to make it really work perfectly for the project. Sometimes after clients try to do it themselves, they’ll hire me and tell me to work from what they have but make it “better” or “make it work”.

A Short Story Made Long
-
At six years old, I stepped outside to the sight of a man doing the most exciting thing I'd ever seen: he was riding the back of a trash truck. No door. No seatbelt. Hell, no seat. A man of the people. Cool. Calm. Dirty. I ran inside, enlightened, and exclaimed to my mother that the advent of my post-adolescent aspirations was ripening to the tune of mashing aluminum. Well. I suppose that's not entirely true. I was six and lacking a vocabulary; I also had a weird speech thing (it's gone now, thank you) so it came out more like "I wann do dat." She set me aside and said, "son, if you grow up to be a trash worker, you'll—" I stopped listening at "trash worker," as I'd already mentally tagged this man's profession as "dude who tames wheeled robots and proceeds to ride them." My eagerness to drift around town with no regard for the legalities of seatbelt laws carried me until approximately May of 2010, at which point I was denied employment at Waste Management upon slamming a Fine Arts degree on the desk and exclaiming, "let me tame wheeled robots, dammit." The clerk, Bernice, snarled a toothless smile, puffed the last half of a Marlboro in my face and said, "we don't need no drawers." Confused and ashamed, I moved to Boulder, CO to
market carrots and later vacated to Washington, DC, where I presently wage war at
Design Army.
