TDC Talk with Ken Carbone and Leslie Smolan
/Moderated by Matteo Bologna
He’s all about the big idea and she’s deep in the details. He likes “Reservoir Dogs” she likes “Out of Africa.” He says tomato, she says tomato.

But when it come to design, Ken Carbone and Leslie Smolan share the joint pursuit of “Fame, Fortune, Fun, and Freedom” as told in their newly released book, “Dialog”: What Makes A Great Design Partnership. In this talk, hosted by the Type Director’s Club and moderated by Matteo Bologna of Mucca Design, they will reveal a behind-the-scenes look at their process, their favorite projects, and the defining moments in the development of the firm.
