Holograms and Print: An Interview with Scott Manduck of Video Plus Print (full version)

This is the full version of an interview published on Print Media Centr that I did with Scott Manduck of Video Plus Print. I (virtually) met Scott a year or so ago. I was exploring the prospect of using video brochures in a campaign. He noticed my interest and sent me a LinkedIn message. We kept in touch and recently I received an email from his company that included a video of a new product that combines print, video, and a hologram effect. I thought it was cool and I wanted to share it with the integrated marketing community at Print Media Centr.

Remembering Bwa Kayiman

A few years ago, at a fundraising dinner, I recited a poem that riffed on a 19th century poem by Haitian intellectual Herard Dumesle.

Still Tight With People In Tights, But Floppy Print Isn't A Fit: New Column by Andy Solages

I’m enjoying a refreshed appreciation for printed books as a whole. After a few years of reading electronic books almost exclusively, the luxury of quiet paper bound for a single purpose feels very real. I relish still moments with hardcovers in particular.
That said, I’ve mostly phased out the long-loved type of book that led to my long term relationships with sex criminals, new gods, mutants, and superheroes: new single issue printed comic books.
