ADC Young Guns @ Apple Store Chicago: Mikey Burton
ADC Young Gun Mikey Burton (YG8) will be appearing @ the Apple Store Chicago on April 26, 2012.
An Ohio native, Mikey Burton proudly describes his design aesthetic as “Midwesterny” and draws much of his inspiration from artifacts found throughout the hardworking, blue collar Rust Belt: old type-specimen sheets, arcane equipment manuals and ancient textbooks. “I’m fascinated with how past designers had to come up with ideas and solve problems using limited resources,” he said. “Like, for instance, figuring out how two colors can work harder than four. It helps me get to better solutions myself.” While earning his degree from Kent State University, Mikey became one of the founders of Little Jacket Design. He has received awards from Communication Arts, Print, HOW, CMYK, Logo Lounge and recently Print’s New Visual Artist. Mikey now lives in sunny Philadelphia, where he enjoys the myriad culinary delights of his adopted hometown, and continues to nurture his lifelong obsession with bears, which are “so cute and lovable, but probably the most dangerous animals ever."

With what little spare time he has left, he helps to run an animation / design screening night in London called "See No Evil." His wife thinks he is neglecting her.
