Ep. 104: Graphic Designer & Artist Paula Scher [Rebroadcast]

Aug 15, 2023

We're taking the summer off to recharge our creative batteries. Please enjoy revisiting this episode from our archives!


Graphic designer Paula Scher grew up drawing pictures to escape a turbulent home life. Later, rebelling against suburban existence, she ventured to art school and became a hippie, and then art directed album covers in NYC. She’s been a partner at Pentagram since ‘91. In her ~50 years in the business she has blazed trails, upended boys’ clubs, committed “typographical blasphemy,” given form to the zeitgeist, and earned herself a reputation as one of the world’s most influential graphic designers.
