Our multidisciplinary 1-year anniversary edition features the acclaimed creators Michael Renaud, VP and Creative Director at the online music mecca Pitchfork, interactive film director Vincent Morisset known for his ground-breaking digital collaborations with the Arcade Fire and the NFB, as well as celebrated Wiretap alumna and independent radio producer Mira Burt-Wintonick. Our Vol. 5 panel will explore the intersection of sound and vision in storytelling - how does our choice of medium affect the creative process, or a story’s impact once it’s out in the world? With so many media options available, from Snapchat, to radio, limited-edition prints and everything in between, how do we choose the most powerful format to craft our stories? Are digital stories better than lo-fi ones? Join us for an exploration of these questions and more on October 20th. Michael Renaud is the Vice President and Creative Director of Pitchfork, music’s most trusted voice. He oversees the day-to-day operations of the organization, and most specifically, the team that visualizes the website on a day-to-day basis, in addition to their two festivals in Paris and Chicago, their film site The Dissolve, and their quarterly print publication, The Pitchfork Review. The design of such endeavors has led to many Webbys, 2014’s Society of Publication Design’s Brand of the Year, a National Magazine Award for digital excellence, a spot on Ad Age's Creativity 50 list, and AIGA’s Corporate Design Leadership Award.
