Graphic designer, Duncan Barton takes me through his design process, position on current trends and how he's developed a career around the things he loves. "At university they taught you to be 'the best designer in the world' not a jobbing designer" Probably my favourite quote from the episode. You're just not taught all the day to day nitty gritty of being a designer working with real clients, dealing with feedback and churning out more of the functional aspects of what design really is. Duncan also uses a lovely analogy in the 'gradient of design' from the boring and mundane repetitive tasks to highly concept driven design. I'd never considered it as such an apt metaphor before. Duncan mentions David Carson's TED talk from 2013 Design and Discovery https://www.ted.com/talks/david_carson_design_and_discovery He talks about how we shouldn't confuse legibility with communication. Something we explore in the episode along with readability and tying that to some of the latest trends. We round off by talking about Dundee and Duncan has a hugely positive view on the city and his time here. There seems to be some sort of weird synergy where things centred around his interests like music, design skating and plants all seem to be popping up around the city. https://twitter.com/witha4

Tony Barthel and Jim Cherry, hosts of the popular Curbside Classic Car Show podcast, discuss automotive designer Brooks Stevens, possibly one of the lesser known people in the history of automotive design but one who designed products that have absolutely influenced automotive design. Among those vehicles were Studebaker's fabulous 1962 Hawk, the Jeep Wagoneer and even the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile! The Curbside Classic Car Show podcast is a fun look at the world of vintage cars, car events and the people that make them happen.

Welcome Back to Nooks and Crannies, and thanks for hanging in there during our hiatus. This week we have a heavy episode, and I am not just talking about the Mutton-Chops! We kick matters off with a blisteringly uninteresting discussion of the weather, including Evan’s approach to wearing Long-John’s and the sculpted nature of Matty’s Legs. We invited Edward James Almos aka Matty and that lil rapscallion Lou Diamond Phillips aka Heaven, back on N&C!! This can only mean it’s the resumption of the ANTHROPOLOGY 101 series (6:16); we are talking Darwin and Huxley and after a little interlude, finishing up on Edward Tylor (19:14) who founded the discipline, as well as sent it on a racist path for like, oh I don’t know, only 50+ years, a legacy that anthropology is still trying to shake loose from to this day. Right in the middle of the racist history of anthropology, is a light-hearted discussion of Matty’s most recent noggin knock (13:10). Matty deploys an amazing segway of his own and uses this trauma as a way of shamelessly plugging the Chronicity Series-to be launched March 2019. This will be a mashup of 16 interviews with podcasters and podcast enthusiasts who spoke to me about their chronic illnesses. Be sure to hit subscribe to not miss out, and tell your friends about this one please, thanks in advance Because this was such a heavy episode, I decided to throw a Bonus Surprise Segment in at the end to lighten the mood. We are talking Eugenics and Phrenology next week…so, just wanted to leave a good taste in your mouths. Big ol thanks to Paul Csomo, co-host of the Varmints Podcast for indulging me, tune in next week to hear the rest of our diatribes!

When we first get started in the world of motion graphics, we often have dreams of working on endlessly fulfilling creative projects, always working in our preferred style. Needless to say, it doesn’t take most of us long to realize that this isn’t the way the industry works. This, however, is all the more reason to continue refining and experimenting with our own style, to keep inspired, and eventually attract new clients. Irene Feleo is originally from Australia, but now lives in New York, and has a history of balancing freelance and full-time work along with her own personal projects. We speak about how having a full-time gig not only helps you pay your bills but also helps you gain skills that you need to succeed, but how at one point, her job lead her to what she calls her quarter-life crisis. Irene shares the importance of having a community and how participating actively within the community can help you gain insight, make friends, and get referrals. She also speaks about the need to create on your own terms and how those passion projects can ultimately lead you to some amazing clients. Plus, we explore the use of social media to put your work out into the world so that branding agencies can fall in love with your esthetic and pursue you. How do you balance personal projects and paid work? Have you ever had a personal project lead to a paid gig? Leave a comment below! In This Episode: The importance of having your own style and aesthetic How your personal projects can lead you to a lot of great clients Why community and social media is such a powerful thing and how to use it to grow your relationships Do you need a contract when you're just starting out?
