Who didn’t love a Flair Pen in the ’70s? The ridges on the body of the pen, that little white band around the tip? But they were only good when they were new, before the line got too thick. I doodled on the back of every notebook and sketchpad in my locker, and got particularly carried away this time around. I fi lled the entire page with my disco faves, friends’ names and groovy lettering.
I don’t have any of the tiny Jackson 5 and Partridge Family magazines I made in grammar school, but I’m glad I unearthed this little high school artifact. It’s still probably the best thing I’ve ever done.
I think I always wanted to do something commer-cial art-related. I had a cousin who worked at CBS in some design capacity and I thought he was cool. And, of course, Darren Stevens’ job on “Bewitched” sounded like a great way to make a living, too.

I knew I liked designing with words from early on, so projects like my little sketchpad endeavor were great ways to explore lots of lettering styles. We played around with Letraset in my studio art class in high school and learned basic calligraphy (my art teacher was very enlightened). The Paul Davis “To be good is not enough when you dream of being great” SVA poster sealed the deal, though. — G A I L A N D E R S O N
Gail Anderson is the creative director of design at SpotCo (spotnyc.com), an ad agency and design studio that specializes in Broadway theater and entertainment design. Anderson teaches in the School of Visual Arts MFA Design program and is the recipi-ent of the 2008 AIGA Medal. She wishes her high school art teacher was still alive to see her notebook page published in a magazine.

Black and Third World people are expected to educate white people as to our humanity. Women are expected to educate men. Lesbians and gay men are expected to educate the heterosexual world […] There is a constant drain of energy which might be better used in redefining ourselves and devising realistic scenarios for altering the present and constructing the future.
Women are expected to educate men.
- Audre Lorde
