CreativeMornings/Findings

The speaker at last August’s CreativeMornings/Atlanta was Stewart Scott Curran, Art Director at CNN.com.

Stewart developed an interest in design early in life and remembers being especially obsessed with the typography and layouts of his father’s folk music albums. From Glasgow to Amsterdam, Holland to UK, Stewart forged a path working with companies like Nike and Coca-Cola before eventually coming to Atlanta to be an art director at CNN.com.

This is an excellent talk for all creatives, as Stewart tells a fantastic tale of his personal and professional journey. If that’s not enticing enough, you can watch it for the Scotsman’s excellent accent.

Many thanks to MailChimp for sponsoring, The High Museum of Art for hosting, and, of course, Station16 Creative for videography.

The speaker for the June CreativeMornings/Atlanta was Katie Hawkins-Gaar, the editorial leader of CNN’s iReport. Katie tells the audience her four lessons for “making the magic happen” – magic, of course, referring back to June’s themed month around the overlap between Arts + Technology. Katie walks us through how she perfects the art of storytelling via the vehicle of technology in this delightful talk.

Many thanks to these vendors who volunteered their time and services to this event:
