{ Almost famous }
There's nothing like seeing your name in print.While I was in Paris this summer, a writer from Grafik (a London-based magazine about international graphic design) came to the studio to interview Antoine+Manuel. Although I wasn't directly involved in the interview, the writer talked to me for a minute or two as she toured the studio, and I couldn't help but be excited for my employers. The first draft of the text of the article was sent to Antoine+Manuel a few weeks later, and I read through it for them before they gave their final approval.
Well, while I was purusing the magazine racks at Border's this weekend, I stumbled across the September issue of Grafik. I had almost completely forgotten about the interview, and I was excited to find twelve full pages devoted to Antoine+Manuel. And skimming through the article I found the paragraph that mentions me! In the midst of a brief description of the studio's layout, the writer notes the placement of the intern's desk, explaining parenthetically (literally) that "the current occupant is from the US." That was me! :)
There really isn't anything quite like seeing your name in print. The only thing that comes close is seeing a vague, parenthetical reference to your existence.
(P.S. In the Gift Shop section of my website you'll find autographed copies of the September issue of Grafik, available for only $25 each. They make great stocking stuffers!)
