One anecdote Bucher uses happened after graduating from Art Center College of Design and being thrown into his first job, where he was instructed to create 600 compositions for a single project. After receiving the comment that the number he created was “absurd”, Bucher then obtained a major design philosophy: that what they really wanted was his advice and idea, which he did not have 600 of.

Being that Bucher has set his roots in illustrative art, he utilizes such methods in his graphic work, especially in print. He pays close attention to inks he can effectively utilize and which most greatly contributes to the initial design. Besides working geometrically and typographically, he also exposes his talent through his ink drawings, which are prominent in his “The Daily Monster.”
