Kit Hinrichs is an influential and wise graphic designer. He is widely known and even in just watching him though this interview for the first time, I can see why.
I love how he dates back to his early days of loving to draw "Cowboys and Indians" as a kid. Many times things that we enjoyed as children, can help lead us to our career.
I also noted his experience traveling to Germany and how important he said that was for his designing in the future. I can not agree more. I have had the privilege of being able to travel to many countries and it only benefits us in learning more about other people and cultures.
One other key that Mr. Hinrichs mentioned is that in hiring he looks for people with a strong sense of character and communication skills. This also impressed me, because it seems that most companies want the more creative and most skilled designer, but Mr. Hinrichs found the importance of looking at those qualities as well as character and communication which he "can not teach".
