Erik Spiekermann interviews are always a treat because of his bluntness and insight. In this interview from Brook & Shaughnessy’s book Studio Culture (2009), Spiekermann doesn’t give his usual account of being a designer. He talks about organising designers. His ideas are applicable to all sorts of small-to-medium organisations that rely on creative people. And there’s an emphasis on the physical and social surroundings.
