Welcome to another conversation I had with a remarkable creative. Last Summer, I met designer Elliot Jay Stocks, who has worked for clients including Microsoft, Virgin, EMI, MailChimp, and Campaign Monitor. He is also an electronic musician who records under the name of Other Form, as well as a speaker and design author.

His current job is co-founder and Creative Director of the lifestyle magazine Lagom. He is probably most known for being the founder of another magazine though, the bi-annual printed typography magazine (and soon-to-be book) 8 Faces. Elliot also used to work as Adobe Typekit’s Creative Director. So of course we talked a lot about type and typography, but also about working for Adobe, as well as working with your partner, turning a magazine into a book, and releasing a record. Please check the shownotes on www.creative.fm for links to his many projects.
