Dave Moore is a Creative Director, graphic designer and art director. That’s a lot of hats. But probably the most important hat he’s ever worn was that of a U.S. Army Drill Sergeant.

Prior to his creative career in visual communications, Dave was in the Army Reserves. There he learned the basic tenets of discipline, teamwork and leadership. In this episode of Backdrop we talk about how much of that training carried over into the contentious battlefield of advertising and design.

He also has a few choice words about industry awards, the Fyre Festival and the authenticity of the comic sans font.
