- Wednesday the 14th of november, Nille Svensson talked to the students about his publishing house Nilleditions.
- Svensson is an influential swedish graphic designer, but in his talk he told the studnts he no longer identifies as such. When asked, he answers simply that he studied graphic design.
- Svensson sees publishing as a mode of expression, and explains that it gives one a great opportunity to network. Publishing also served as a way to give amplified meaning to content. One of his powerpoint slides tells us that whatever you make a book about, people will think is important
- What books Nilsson choses to publish is based on his interests and curiosity. He has a low bar for contacting people he knows or people he admires and asking if they would like to publish a book. The selection of Nilleditions publications is hence eclectic and shaped by Nilssons personal taste.
- His advice to the crowd was as follows. Keep going forward, don't think too much about your next project and grab all opportunities as they present themselves. And don't go into publishing for the money.
