Based on the popular TV show, we will be having an insightful one-on-one interview with Chris Pullman, one the founding members of the AIGA Boston chapter and who, for 35 years, served as Vice President for Design and Visual Communications for WGBH.

Interviewed by Daniel Dejan, you will hear how Chris was a young teacher at the Yale School of Art when he was recruited by Ivan Chermayeff (who had just redesigned WGBH's logo) to take charge of WGBH's in-house design department. He and his staff were responsible for the visual personality of WGBH, as expressed through its on-air titles, credits and animation, classroom materials and interactive media. Viewers of PBS will recognize Pullman's work in the opening title sequences of "Masterpiece Theatre" and "Antiques Roadshow" and the WGBH animated on-air signature, which is used at the end of every program produced by the public broadcaster.

Chris Pullman is the only person who can be said to have won not one but two of the highest possible honors from AIGA. The first was the Corporate Leadership Award,   which WGBH won in 1985. The second was the AIGA Medal, which Chris himself won in 2002.
