Chuck Anderson (aka nopattern) is
a 21-years-old graphic designer that
has managed to cull a list of clients
that would make a seasoned designer
envious. nike, 555Soul, pepsi, Sony,
Garcia Marquez, and reebok- just
to name a few. if you ask him to,
he’ll talk your head off. With a new
nopattern book- 28-pages offering
a vividly saturated cross-section
of his time, style, and genre- fresh
off the presses, we talked to Chuck
about his inspiration, his work on
products and spaces, and why his
world is so shiny.
When did you decide to become
a designer? i don’t honestly think
i ever actually decided to become
a designer. i’ve just always been an
artist - since i was a child. it’s always
been a part of me to create things.
there was a time, however, that i
made the decision to try to get my
work out there to the world. that
was about 6 months after i graduated
high school. Early 2004. But it was
less a decision to become a designer
and more something i had to do
because i had no money, no job, no
degree (besides high school), and
no plans for my future. instead of
becoming a designer, i feel like i was
just always an artist to begin with. i
truly believe it was God’s intention
for my life to do what i’m doing now.
What is your favorite part of the
design process and why? Just
looking at the direction for the
project and taking those first few
steps. i just get my hands dirty right
away. i just get right into it. the
feeling of a successful beginning can
be more gratifying than the feeling
of a successful finish sometimes.
