DC151 Interview: Memoir Design with David Loehr and Greg Swenson

Tim Keirnan interviews author David Loehr and designer Greg
Swenson about the new memoir That's How Strong My Love Is: From
Rock and Roll to James Dean. The memoir is an insider's
perspective of rock and roll history, James Dean legacy, fashion,
pop culture, and the counterculture of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s
from New York to LA. This book is unique in that David, the
world's foremost archivist of James Dean's remarkable life and
career, saved so many artifacts from his own interesting life
experiences to document them, including ticket stubs, posters,
autographed photos, letters, post cards, clothing from various
periods, photos, badges, pins, stage designs, newspaper
clippings, and more. Greg worked with David to design the
presentation of the memoir text and the appropriate artifact
photos and scans, plus the cover.
