Podcasts about Creative Review

This week we're joined by none other than Ben Kay - podcaster, blogger, novelist, Creative Review contributor, ex-Creative Director at Apple, Droga5, AMV, Luna BBDO etc… basically, a walking awards cabinet.

In the first episode of season 2, we speak with Jack Smyth – a freelance designer and illustrator from Ireland. His clients include Penguin Random House, Faber & Faber, Harpercollins, Granta, Daunt Books, Simon & Schuster, The New York Times, The New Yorker, Politico and The Atlantic. He has previously worked inhouse at 4th Estate, Simon & Schuster, Little, Brown and Tower Records and holds an MA in Graphic Design from Kingston University. In 2024, he was named the designer of the year at the British Book Awards.

Cover Meeting was hosted by Steve Leard and produced by James Ede of beheard.org.uk.

Imagine a day where you don't own a computer, and you lose your phone just after breakfast.We used to live like that.Every damn day.With virtually no access to information.Researching how to be better at your job wasn't a thing.Advertising people didn't do podcasts or post articles about their work.True, there were books, but not many.Aside from awards annuals, the main two were ‘Ogilvy On Advertising' and ‘Bill Bernbach's Book'.Occasionally you'd photocopy an article from Campaign, Creative Review or Direction magazine.Dave Trott's ‘How To Get Your First Job In Advertising' was the most useful.I had a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy.The text was so faded and broken up it looked like an old religious document.Which it was in a way.It's still great. (I've attached a copy below.)Later, The Copy and Art Direction Books turned up.They were a revelation – good creatives explaining how they create.(If you haven't read Richard Foster's piece do, you'll be a 9% better writer after reading it.)We have the opposite problem today; too much.But it leads to a kind of inertia.A bit like living next to St. Pauls, you put off visiting, because you think ‘it'll be there tomorrow, next week, next year'.The other problem is who is or isn't worth listening to?LinkedIn if packed with people aggressively telling you exactly how to create ads as good as the ones they… like.At the other end of the spectrum are people like Dave Trott, George Tannenbaum, Brian Burch, The Behind The Billboard guys, Rory Sutherland, Ben Kay and many more I'll be embarrassed tomorrow that I forgot to mention.And Steve Hudson.He posts a series called The Power Of Advertising on LinkedIn where he breaks down his (and Victoria Fallon's) ads from nose to tail.From brief to air.What's great about it is the work.A lot of teams have a style or preference, Steve (and Victoria) don't.At least, not that I can spot.What links Audi to Anti-Smoking to One To One to Levi's to Kingshield other than they're all great?The weirdest thing about our chat was realising how short their creative career was.10 years.They took it very seriously, which lead to some great work, but maybe some bad decisions too.Hearing about Steve's career was a bit like watching a horror film.Instead of shouting ‘LOOK BEHIND YOU!' I was shouting ‘DON'T RESIGN TO HEGARTY!' or ‘STAY AT ABBOTT MEAD!'.Anyway, it was a great chat, hope you enjoy it.

In this episode of Her Faith at Work, I sit down with copywriting expert Heather Crouch to dig into the art of persuasive writing, how to craft compelling content, and how we can use AI as a helpful tool without losing our authentic voice. Heather shares her journey from sales copywriting to full-time freelance work and talks about why knowing your audience is the key to writing copy that converts. GUEST BIO: Heather Crouch is a freelance copywriter with a passion for helping businesses create persuasive and intentional messaging. With over a year of official copywriting experience—and many more years crafting persuasive sales copy—Heather's goal is to help businesses, especially those with Christian values, connect with their audience in a meaningful way. She specializes in digital copy for websites, emails, social media and more. KEY POINTS: Copywriting vs. Content Creation: Heather breaks down the difference between content (meant to educate or inspire) and copy (designed to drive action with a clear call to action). The Power of Knowing Your Audience: Understanding who you're writing for is crucial to effective copywriting. Heather explains how knowing your target audience helps create personalized, compelling messages. Using AI in Copywriting: Heather shares how AI tools like ChatGPT can be great for getting a draft started but reminds us that the human touch is essential for polishing the final copy. Call to Action Tips: Heather gives us the AIDA method and explains how a clear, targeted call to action can make or break your copy. QUOTES TO REMEMBER: 1. "Writing with intention instead of just posting for the sake of it is the real game changer." 2. "Your copy should inspire action—whether it's clicking a link, signing up for a newsletter, or making a purchase." 3. "AI is a great tool for getting started, but your brand's voice is what truly makes the difference in connecting with your audience." GRAB HEATHER'S OFFER: My End of Summer Mini Package gives a taste of what it would be like to have juicy copy at the ready.

She made major innovations in the field of functional materials and at the same time she expanded the possibilities of single weavings and individual artworks. She was also an adventurous graphic artist who took printmaking technique into previously uncharted territory.Not only was she a pioneering textile artist, and printmaker, but she was an educator whose work redefined the boundaries between craft and fine art. She may arguably be THE person responsible for helping the masses see textile as art, not just craft. She studied at the Bauhaus, taught at Black Mountain College in North Carolina, where she continued to push the limits of weaving, experimenting with unconventional materials and techniques. Her book On Weaving (1965) remains a seminal text in textile design. About Marian BantjesMarian's Books:I WonderPretty PicturesMarian Bantjes (b. 1963) @bantjes is a Canadian graphic artist who is known for her signature maximalist style.

In 2007 she released Restraint, a typeface that integrates her style of ornamentation to be used as shapes and borders.Marian has been honored with several awards over the years and her work is now part of the permanent collection at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. ____View all the visually rich 1-min reels of each woman on IG below:Instagram: Amber AsayInstagram: Women Designers Pod

It's been two years and nearly a hundred episodes since we launched The Creative Boom Podcast. With 2023 fast approaching, we thought a Christmas Special might be in order. One that celebrates how far we've come and pays tribute to the people who helped us get here but also allows us to look ahead and consider what's next. What better way to do so than return to our very first guest? And that's Malcolm Garrett. The esteemed graphic designer and creative director also happens to be one of the co-founders of Design Manchester, an annual festival in our home city and one that holds a special place on the international design calendar. It's actually where we headed last month to meet Malcolm but also catch up with other former guests of our show plus meet some new names. It seemed particularly fitting to make our Christmas Special during Design Manchester, as this year's theme is about Legacy – something that honours the late great Professor David Crow of the Manchester School of Art, who was one of the champions and supporters of the festival. Held in the Benzie Building of the esteemed art school, the event meant that everyone was reflecting on the legacy of Design Manchester as well as their own creative journeys, and how that legacy plays into the future. It was an honour to capture some of that reflection for Creative Boom – much of which we'll share now. And to just add a little fun, we asked everyone for their own Christmas memories – a time of year that means something different from one person to the next. But whether good or bad, it was agreed that the festive season brings people together. And I also asked about new year resolutions and how they feel about 2023. We kicked things off with Malcolm but then also chatted with former Creative Review editor Patrick Burgoyne, creative director and stylist Harris Elliott, graphic designer and artist Ian Swift aka Swifty, graphic artist Anthony Burrill, designer and artist Sarah Boris, artist and illustrator Stanley Chow, designer and digital whizz Zoë Hitchen, material and performance artist and artistic director Naitiemu Nyanjom, designer and illustrator Jane Bowyer, designer Ian Anderson of The Designers Republic, and Sir Misha Black Awards Chairman and Arts University Bournemouth Honorary Fellow, Mary V Mullin. That's it for Season Five of The Creative Boom Podcast. We're going to take a short break, but we will be back in 2023 with lots of new guests, covering many different themes – topics important to you as a creative professional. Until then, from myself and everyone at Creative Boom, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous and peaceful New Year.

Highlights from the conversation:Then you become a trusted advisor or partner who has got their back rather than a gun for hireWhen we, as an industry, get it right we add unbelievable value to the bottom line of a businessI definitely think there's gotta be a smarter way to be compensated for the work that we doBut the minute something's asked for free, then they have all the power and we're subservient to them. It's not healthyI don't think anyone feels that pitching is valid or valuable or adds anythingGreat work, in my opinion, comes from trust.

Highlights from the conversation:Since it's a living organism, a brand can behave really well if it's managed well. But it can also misbehave. There's also no such thing as a perfect brandIn the industry, we hand out brand manuals and they're sometimes treated as the Bible that the in-house design team has to conform to, but I actually don't see style guide that way – I see style guide as parameters[On research] What I want to do is get down to the very bottom of it. What is this thing? What is this subject? What is this topic? And a lot of times these projects came to us as something that is so alien that we [asked] – are we really qualified to do this?The total body of the work doesn't have a singular style to it. But rather, we always design very contextually, very specifically. But within that specific context, we want to be as creative and as expressive as possibleI think that's a fascinating way of thinking about our craft. That part of it is creating the visual, but part of it is also convincing human beings to understand, to make the leap, or to communicateI think sometimes clients hold the designers at an arm's length. They don't necessarily let them into the building. They don't let them see the bad stuff or, you know, actually understand how things work More about Natasha Jen Natasha Jen is an award-winning designer, an educator, and a partner at Pentagram.

Deborah Sussman is known as a leader of environmental graphic design, a relatively new field at the time that had a surprising number of women leading the charge. Sussman had a passion for the arts and attended some of the finest art and design institutions in the nation, including the Black Mountain College, the Institute of Design in Chicago, and Bard College in NYC. Sussman interned at the Eames office then later started her own successful design studio with her husband Paul Prejza, Sussman/Prejza & Company. The pair made a dynamic team, earning a considerable amount of recognition in Sussman's lifetime. The colorful modernism seen in much of Sussman's work was most visible in her designs for the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Her designs were highly regarded for the bold colors and graphics that were both attractive and functional. The Olympic designs were even included in Time Magazine's “Best of the Decade”. In addition to the designs for the Olympics, Sussman/Prejza & Company did environmental design work for Disney and comprehensive design systems for the cities of Santa Monica & Philadelphia. While her designs for the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles brought the most attention to the burgeoning field of environmental design, it was her dedication to pioneering the field that cements her place in the canon of graphic design.TIMELINE1931 – b New York1948 – Attends summer school at the Black Mountain College, for art & performance1948-50 – Attends Bard College, New York for painting & acting1950-53 – Attends the Institute of Design, Chicago1953-58 – works at Eames office1957-58 – Awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to study in Ulm, Germany1961 – Returns to work for the Eames office1968 – Establishes her own practice1972 – Marries architect Paul Prejza1975 – Awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to study in Calcutta, India1980 – Founds Sussman/Prejza & Company, a partnership with her husband1983 – Fellow and founder of AIGA/LA1987 – Elected member of AGI, Alliance Graphique Internationale1987 – Elected member of The Trusteeship, International Women's Forum1988 – Named an Honorary member of the American Institute of Architects1990 – featured in Time Magazine's “Best of the Decade” for ‘84 Los Angeles Olympic designs1991 – Named Fellow of the Society of Environmental Graphic Design1995 – First woman to exhibit at School of Visual Arts' “Master Series” 2014 – d in Los Angeles at the age of 83REFERENCESBlack Mountain College: A Brief Introduction.

Highlights from the conversation:You collect ideas by looking around the world and doing things, and all of those things form a vocabulary of ideas that you then come to useI always try and encourage young designers to not just look at design – to look wide and experience wideThings lead to other things. The more you collect ideas, the more you will have opportunities to make them happenIt's important that we create systems that are open and easy to flex to accommodate audiences as they participate in what you've createdWe shouldn't just do ‘adaptable' for the sake of it, we should understand the role that each organisation playsThe work is also the journey. The difficult thing is to make brave ideas survive the process + make make into the real world More about Marina Marina Willer is a graphic designer and filmmaker with an MA in Graphic Design from the Royal College of Art.

If Comic Sans showed up at a house party, would it be welcome or shown the door? In this episode, the Wireframe team parties down with a wild array of fonts, good and bad, to learn about the rise of novelty typefaces like Comic Sans and the proliferation of the now all-too-familiar geometric sans serif typeface. They'll find out what the popularity of these fonts says about how we think about the role of typography in today's world. And they'll also talk to some exciting new type designers who think that it's time for a new chapter in the story of type, one that reflects a richer, more diverse set of voices.Join host Khoi Vinh, and producers Pippa Johnstone and Dominic Girard as they explore the personalities of the typefaces we know and love and ideas that are influencing what we'll see next.Emma Tucker is a Comic Sans apologist. She's a senior writer and deputy editor at Creative Review, and believes there's a time and a place for this font. Though she's noticing how its “time and place” has become more subversive and cynical than before. Next, Stephen Coles is a major expert on type. He's the co-publisher of Fonts in Use and Typographica and editorial director at Letterform Archive. He explains how Comic Sans's rise made sense, and follows up with an argument for why design is ready to embrace more expressive fonts, and not fear personality so much.Then, young independent type designers introduce us to a pair of fonts they've created that embrace personality and expression in very personal ways. Tré Seals is the founder of Vocal Type - and we hear about how he made his Martin font, and its connection to the American Civil Rights era. Lynne Yun, of Space Type Continuum, introduces us to her “earthy and bold” font, Ampersandist. Both of these designers explain how they find creative reward, and liberty, in type design.Other fonts mentioned in this episode: Times New Roman, Impact, Arial, Comic Sans, Calibri, Garamond, Windsor, Cooper Black, Roboto and Wingdings. And here's an excellent resource of comic book style alternatives to the font we love to hate. Find a transcript to this episode here.

Elissa Brunato is a designer and researcher who explores the intersection between human demands and wider ecological systems. This exploration has led Elissa to tackle the huge environmental footprint caused by the production of modern-day sequins. Industrial sequins are made from petroleum-based plastic or synthetic resins and due to their miniature size exacerbate the micro-plastic issues our planet currently faces. So in 2019, Elissa worked alongside material scientists to create naturally shimmering sequins that are made from a structural component found in plant cell walls called cellulose. The sequins are compostable, lightweight, strong and offer a glimpse into the solutions sustainable materials provide and the possibilities that lay on the horizon at the intersection between design and science. Elissa's projects also include exploring industrial flat glass production and the issues that stem from its widespread manufacturing to create the buildings that dominate urban landscapes across the world today. Elissa's work has been exhibited around the world, won a range of acclaimed awards and been featured in publications like Dezeen, Creative Review and Fast Company. If you'd like to see some of Elissa's work, here are a couple links to the projects we spoke about in this episode:   Bio Iridescent Sequins Float   And if you're interested learning more about Green Canvas, you can find us on our website.

Clive Grinyer is the Head of Service Design at the Royal College of Art in London. Clive's an acknowledged expert in service design, design thinking, and design and technology innovation, who has led award-winning design teams for companies around the globe. He started in design consultancy with IDEO in London and San Francisco before co-founding the design consultancy company Tangerine with Martin Derbyshire and future Apple design chief and RCA chancellor, Jony Ive. He went on to build and lead design teams for Orange, Samsung, and Cisco, and was Director of Service Design for Barclays. As Director of Design of the UK's Design Council, he created the Design Demand program, taking design into over one thousand UK companies. As a consultant, he's worked with the cabinet office policy lab and at Nesta. Clive speaks at national and international conferences, writes articles and blogs, and has published Smart Design, a book on design and technology.   Show Summary Clive discovered his interest in design at an early age, in part thanks to toys and dresses! His grandmother's dress shop introduced him to the idea that there were actual people out there whose job was making decisions about what we would like and what would be trendy. That would lead him to art school. A conversation with a career advisor uncovered an affinity for product design, and that's where Clive's design path began: designing physical objects. He worked for several well-known design consultancies, including Moggridge Associates (founded by Bill Moggridge, who would go on to co-found IDEO), and then Clive chose to co-found a design consultancy himself before shifting gears away from consulting altogether and going in-house, taking a position with Samsung, where he helped open the company's design office in Europe. After Samsung, Clive worked for a number of the world's leading corporations, culminating in a position with Barclays bank, where he again shifted--this time from digital design to service design--setting up their service design team and working on customer experience. Clive recently left the corporate world behind, taking the Head of Service Design position at the RCA not long before the COVID-19 pandemic began. Today, we'll talk about building service design teams, teaching service design and how the RCA service design department adapted its teaching and courses in response to the pandemic, and where Clive believes service design needs to take us in the future.   Listen in to learn more about: Clive's path from product design to service design Building a service design team Service design at RCA The future of service design, post-pandemic Service design in Europe and the US How the impact of service design is often invisible Service design, design thinking, and innovation   Show Highlights [02:01] Clive talks about his design career path.

He worked for several well-known design consultancies, including Moggridge Associates (founded by Bill Moggridge, who would go on to co-found IDEO), and then Clive chose to co-found a design consultancy himself before shifting gears away from consulting altogether and going in-house, taking a position with Samsung, where he helped open the company’s design office in Europe. After Samsung, Clive worked for a number of the world’s leading corporations, culminating in a position with Barclays bank, where he again shifted--this time from digital design to service design--setting up their service design team and working on customer experience. Clive recently left the corporate world behind, taking the Head of Service Design position at the RCA not long before the COVID-19 pandemic began. Today, we’ll talk about building service design teams, teaching service design and how the RCA service design department adapted its teaching and courses in response to the pandemic, and where Clive believes service design needs to take us in the future.   Listen in to learn more about: Clive’s path from product design to service design Building a service design team Service design at RCA The future of service design, post-pandemic Service design in Europe and the US How the impact of service design is often invisible Service design, design thinking, and innovation   Show Highlights [02:01] Clive talks about his design career path.

During this episode, Emma Chiu of Wunderman Thompson discusses global trends which affect brands as well as the competition for attention. She describes growing anxiety and a sense of urgency as some trends--especially trends mapped to digital and technology capabilities--seem to have accelerated during the COVID crisis. Brands are also grappling with Gen Z consumers and how they are driving cultural shifts; for example, Emma describes how younger generations engage in employee activism and are beginning to hold their employers accountable for social values. She observes that relatively new platforms like TikTok and Clubhouse are evolving quickly which presents adaptation challenges for brands. Finally, we discuss value-based marketing where some brands pursue non-linear approaches in order to pleasantly surprise consumers and “future proof” their messaging for the long term. Full show notes with resources Guest Bio: Emma Chiu leads Wunderman Thompson Intelligence, the agency’s in-house futures and innovation think-tank. Emma consults with brands on how to build long-term strategies based on qualitative and quantitative insight that incorporates cultural and behavioral change, sector innovation and zeitgeist shifts.

In this episode of #TheNewAbnormal, I interview Steve Vranakis. He's an award winning creative who worked on the launch of the iPhone, with Amazon, NASA (Space Lab), The United Nations, UNICEF and headed up the Creative Lab at Google in EMEA for nearly a decade. Appointed as the first ever Chief Creative Officer for Greece, he developed a new country narrative as a Special Advisor to the Prime Minister. Some of his past projects inc a machine learning musical instrument, an installation giving youth a voice at the UN, the launch of a physical coding platform that teaches kids to code, and bringing dinosaurs back to life in VR at the Natural History Museums in London and Berlin. In 2015 Steve went to the island of Lesvos to build a mobile information site to help Syrian refugees fleeing civil war keep safe. (This was scaled across dozens of NGO’s going on to help thousands of refugees.) His work has been recognised by the D&AD, Cannes Lions, ADC, One Show's, Campaign Big, Webbys, Lovies, FWA, BIMA and Clio's. Steve's has been featured in WIRED, The NY Times, Telegraph, WSJ, Creative Review, Huffington Post, FT, Design Week, Adage and he’s written for Adweek, Marketing, Campaign and conducted interviews with the BBC, CNN, CNBC, Lürzer's Archive and Shots. While president of D&AD, he made it his mission to help young people from disadvantaged backgrounds get into the creative industries. So, as you can imagine, we cover a lot of ground in this interview as we discuss his extraordinary career, how he pictures the 'Agency of the Future' alongside his views on 'hope, community and resilience'...

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for November 7, 2020 is: multifarious • mul-tuh-FAIR-ee-us • adjective : having or occurring in great variety : diverse Examples: "The word 'fate,' of course, did not help me, being inadequate to describe the sense of a multifarious, infinitely complex, dreamy yet purposeful universe which I had in mind—being altogether too singular a word…." — Fay Weldon, The Cloning of Joanna May, 1989 "Just Pictures speaks to the multifarious nature of imagery today, a quality that predates the internet and social media but is no doubt enhanced by them. At its core, the exhibition expresses the way in which photographs at once carry all kinds of meanings that we project onto them, and no one meaning at all." — Megan Williams, Creative Review, 25 Sept. 2020 Did you know? Before the late 16th-century appearance of multifarious, there was another word similar in form and meaning being used: multifary, meaning "in many ways," appeared—and disappeared—in the 15th century. Before either of the English words existed, there was the Medieval Latin word multifarius, from Latin multifariam, meaning "in many places" or "on many sides." Multi-, as you may know, is a combining form meaning "many." A relative of multifarious in English is omnifarious ("of all varieties, forms, or kinds"), created with omni- ("all") rather than multi-.

Making the move to the label from an advertising and marketing background, James had just concluded four years at the football media business COPA90, where during his successful tenure as CBO he oversaw a 100% increase in revenue year-on-year, and coordinated partnerships with brands such as Uber, Budweiser, Nike, Pepsi and EA Sports. As well as his impressive work with COPA90, where James and his team built a vast audience of young fans, peaking at 650 million monthly views in 2019, James has established himself as a media innovator and specialist voice on the industry, providing insights for news outlets such as The Guardian, CNN, Sky News and the BBC. As one of the world’s foremost media industry speakers, he has appeared on stage 8 times at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity, featured in BIMA’s prestigious Top 100 for three years running and was recently selected as one of the top Leaders Under 40 in the sports business. He was also named in Campaign Magazine’s esteemed ‘Power 100’ in July 2019 and A-list. Prior to COPA90, James founded his own digital agency Holler, the first in the world to market a TV show using social media, and the trailblazing nature of the business was noticed by industry leaders Publicis Group, who acquired Holler in 2010. James was promoted to Leo Burnett Worldwide’s Global Head of Social and Mobile, working with clients such as Procter & Gamble, McDonald’s, Coca-Cola and Kellogg’s. In January 2020 James started his new chapter at Defected Records, joining the label as it enters its third decade. James is overseeing all social, content, marketing and PR activations at Defected, and makes an invaluable addition to the company as it navigates its position as an industry leader in a new era for the music industry.

Within four weeks the online residency accumulated over 10 million views and gained worldwide recognition and acclaim, gaining media coverage in Creative Review, The Telegraph, BBC Radio 2, 6Music, Evening Standard, Le Monde France and Sky News.

Keep chipping away at it as there is always a win win ending you will Always gain from it in some way! 3.The drive Is not about the prestige or gloss, it’s about fulfilment and satisfaction 4. The idea is the inspired state of mind which is very different from the doing. The doing is the messy hard middle stage where you need to stay focused and committed. Remember know one can see that idea yet so it’s Uk to you to jerk it watered for the harvest 5.Creativity can lift us of depression 6.The opposite of depression is purpose 7. If you’ve made a connection with a creative from your  idol company, nurture that relationship, their opinions and inputs are so  golden! 8.If you are painfully shy, own it! Own your personality! 9.Paying the bills of course  is important but if you aren’t happy about the direction in which your work is at then you have to keep going with your side projects. It’s side projects that keep us inspired at those times and work often comes from them! 10.You don’t need a book deal any more, spend your time and money on an editor and the right designers and creatives of course but self publishing is the game now!

Join me today where I have a chat to you about business creation and survival during this global pandemic. Following the 10 steps of my Business Coaching Programme, Step 10 - Creative Review - is so very important and often left out by many of us small business owners.  We get so caught up in the 'doing' in our businesses, that we don't take time to review. When the landscape of the world we live in changes, we too have to change.   There's nothing left untouched by this pandemic, so it's time to review and make whatever changes necessary to stay on course to achieving a successful business.  And don't forget.....you have changed too! Until next time xx

After a gap of a few months, the magCulture Podcast returns as the UK loosens the lockdown. The episode opens with an overview of recent magazines – including Barter Baby, Creative Review, Here and British Vogue – and general observations from Jeremy Leslie, before moving on to Eye. Recorded during the special one-day Every Eye Ever event at the magCulture Shop, we eavesdrop on part of a conversation between co-owner/art director Simon Esterson and founding editor Rick Poynor (left and right above). Standing in front of the complete set of 100 issues displayed at the Shop, the two highlight some of the themes and common factors that make an Eye front cover, refering to work by previous art directors Stephen Coates and Nick Bell as well as Esterson. Rick Poynor then joins Jeremy Leslie for a conversation about the 1990 origins of Eye and its application of a critical rather than reporting style of design writing. Poynor still writes for Eye, has just written a biography of David King, and teaches at Reading University. The back issue is US graphic design magazine Émigré, a unique project both about and of the late eighties/early nineties graphics scene, at the beginning of the Apple Macintosh and DTP revolution. --------------------------- Huge thanks to our friends at Park Communications for their support of the magCulture Podcast.

Maria and Julio get into how race and activism show up in sports - historically and in the current Black Lives Matter movement - with Howard Bryant, a senior writer for ESPN and correspondent for NPR’s Weekend Edition. They talk about Bryant’s recent book, Full Dissidence: Notes from an Uneven Playing Field, and the ways in which Black athletes, like Colin Kaepernick, have spoken up and been silenced in the movement for racial justice.ITT Staff Picks: Sally Jenkins writes for The Washington Post about why Kaepernick took a knee and the NFL owners who ostracized him for doing so.Nick Martin writes, "the NFL is no better than any of the other brands trying to seize the moment by throwing money at the issue in hopes of whitewashing their complicity" in this piece for The New Republic.Leonie Annor-Owiredu writes, "the Black Lives Matter movement isn't a trend to be commodified," in this piece for Creative Review.Photo Credit: AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez, File See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

If you enjoy this podcast, consider buying me a coffee: https://adamstoner.com/support Hello, my name is Adam Ayrton Stoner and this is Recently, a monthly email round-up letting you know what I've been doing, reading, watching, listening to and enjoying recently. In a typical month, I usually finish these newsletters about a week before they land in your inbox but this edition was hard to write for reasons that, if you flick to any news channel for 30 seconds or more, are plainly obvious. This update began as a lengthy rant about a handful of wealthy companies that, in the face of lacking professional guidance of any kind, have announced a return to business as usual, all while your rule-abiding local florist, café or barbers stay shuttered – were we ever ‘all in this together'? If there is to be a silver lining for this virus, let it be further highlighting the dogshit companies to avoid when we come out of lockdown, none of which have ever featured in these newsletters. Here's the much more simple (and relaxed!) form this edition ended up taking instead. This month, I've been: Producing and editing Stuck at Home for the UK's children's radio station Fun Kids, which you can find wherever you get your podcasts and for a short while on BBC Sounds. Providing guidance to friends on starting their own podcasts, including which platforms to use and what it should look and sound like. If you're thinking of starting your own podcast and are after feedback, want some artwork, or want to find out how a producer can help lift your solo project to the next level, send me an email. I've also been writing a lot – in Standard Notes, the end-to-end encrypted note taking app, about lockdown and some of my worries about it. I've been using the time at home to get a grip on the mundane day-to-day tasks that sometimes escape us in our usual lives. I've been upgrading a lot of my monthly subscriptions to annual ones, eschewing monthly bills and saving some cash in the long-run and giving everything a good clean and tidy! I've been listening to: I've created an Apple Music playlist of the tunes I've been listening to recently. Tap here to give it a listen (or take a look, so you can find tunes on your platform of choice). It contains tunes from Hayley Williams' solo project Petals for Armor, Broadcast, Cornelius, Gorillaz, Femi Kuti, and more. I've also been listening to longform interviews from the likes of Thom Yorke and more, most courtesy of Apple's radio station, Beats 1, which, although I ripped into it in my 2016 university dissertation, is absolutely killing it right now. My opinion on the station has almost 180º'd – I need to write a follow-up! I've been watching: Masterclass. I'm not one of these people eager to make every waking moment of their life a mission in productivity but Masterclass is a fantastic way to fill moments you might be saving instead of, say, commuting. Vogue's Creative Director Anna Wintour has been teaching me leadership, a former FBI negotiator has been telling me how to haggle, and Gordon Ramsay has been teaching me cookery, all from the comfort of my bed. I've been reading: Why Social Media is Ruining Your Life, a pop-science ‘my experience' book (it's sold in Urban Outfitters, which tells you all you need to know) but an interesting insight nonetheless. Against Creativity by Oli Mould Year of Wonder: Classical Music for Every Day by BBC Radio 3 presenter Clemency Burton-Hill. The pick for May 3rd is Piano Trio No. 2 in E flat major, K. 498 (‘Kegelstatt'), III: Rondo – Allegretto by Mozart, which you can presumably find on your streaming platform of choice

Presenting the fourth episode of 'Intimate Animation' season 3, brought to you by the online animation magazine skwigly.com Join Skwigly's Ben Mitchell and Laura-Beth Cowley as they explore, discuss and interview the talents behind animation that deals with adult themes of love, relationships and sexuality. In this episode we meet UK-based Polish director/animator Natasza Cetner whose MA graduation film from the Royal College of Art "Nigel" was recently released online as a Short of the Week Premiere and Vimeo Staff Pick to much enthusiasm. Using quasi-traditional 2D animation approaches, the film is an inventive spin on the story of Nigel, a lonely gannet who hopelessly falls in love with a concrete statue. Serving as a reflection of our own misconceptions in love, the film has screened at numerous festivals including LIAF, PSIAF, Anifilm, Animocje, Tricky Women, PÖFF Shorts, Animac and Animateka as well as being written up on outlets including Creative Review, It's Nice That and Director's Notes. Also discussed in this episode: Selected love'n'sex-themed films and event highlights from the recent Anima Festival in Brussels and new shorts to watch out for at the upcoming Cardiff Animation Festival.

When Kate and I first spoke about her practice as an artist in episode 9 I came away from the conversation feeling that maybe we should have talked more about mental health. But interviewing your wife is kind of a weird experience so I let myself off the hook. Recently, having been asked to write an article for Creative Review magazine about mental illness and creativity, I asked Kate if she'd talk to me about her own depression. We recorded that conversation. And though it was not originally intended to be publicly shared we both agreed that doing so could only be a good thing.

Gabi Ferrara and Jon Foust are back today and joined by fellow Googler Manuel Lima. In this episode, Manuel tells us all about data visualization, what it means, why it’s important, and the best ways to do it effectively. For Google and its mission, data visualization is especially necessary in faciliatating the accesibility of information. It “makes the invisible visible” because of the way it can decode meaningful data patterns. Working across multiple GCP products, Manuel and his team build advanced visualization models that go beyond graphs and bar charts to things like sophisticated time lines that aid in the progression from data to usable knowledge. They have also created guidelines for things like what kind of graphical language to use, what type of charts users might need, and more. These guidelines, originally used only internally, have now been adjusted and released for use by developers outside Google with the help of the Material.io team. The guidelines are based around the six data visualazation princples that help users get started. They can be employed to plan and inspire an entire project or to evaluate a specific data visualation chart. Some of the most important principles are to be honest and to lend a helping hand. You can read more in their Medium article, Six Principles for Designing Any Chart. Manuel Lima A Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and nominated by Creativity magazine as “one of the 50 most creative and influential minds of 2009,” Manuel Lima is the founder of VisualComplexity.com, Design Lead at Google, and a regular teacher of data visualization at Parsons School of Design. Manuel is a leading voice on information visualization and has spoken at numerous conferences, universities, and festivals around the world, including TED, Lift, OFFF, Eyeo, Ars Electronica, IxDA Interaction, Harvard, Yale, MIT, Columbia, the Royal College of Art, NYU Tisch School of the Arts, ENSAD Paris, the University of Amsterdam, and MediaLab-Prado Madrid. He has also been featured in various publications and media outlets, such as Wired, the New York Times, Science, Nature, Businessweek, Fast Company, Forbes, The Guardian, BBC, CNN, Design Observer, Creative Review, Eye, Grafik, étapes, and El País. His first book, Visual Complexity: Mapping Patterns of Information, has been translated into French, Chinese, and Japanese. His latest, The Book of Circles: Visualizing Spheres of Knowledge, covers 1,000 hundred years of humanity’s long-lasting obsession with all things circular. With more than twelve years of experience designing digital products, Manuel has worked for Codecademy, Microsoft, Nokia, R/GA, and Kontrapunkt. He holds a BFA in Industrial Design and a MFA in Design & Technology from Parsons School of Design. During the course of his MFA program, Manuel worked for Siemens Corporate Research Center, the American Museum of Moving Image, and Parsons Institute for Information Mapping in research projects for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

Ian Weldon is not a wedding photographer. But he does shoot weddings. He recently became the first photographer ever (probably) to have an exhibition of wedding photography in a ‘proper’ gallery, with a show at the Martin Parr Foundation in Bristol, England. He also produced a book to coincide with the show, publishhed by RRB PhotoBooks and entitiled, of course, “I Am Not a Wedding Photographer.” Partly as a result of the show, Ian has subsequently had a lot of press coverage in major outlets including the BBC, The Guardian, i-D.Vice, Creative Review, Huck Magazine and It’s Nice That. He has 18.2K folllowers on Instagram. Which is a lot. Ian also hosts and produces the second best UK-based photography podcast: Outerfocus, in which he talks to photographers about their work and whatever else comes up. (My appearance, for what it’s worth, is here.) On episode 113, Ian discusses, among other things: His solo show at the Martin Parr Foundation Being taken into care as a young child His time in the army… …and going a bit nuts on drink and drugs after leaving How photography saved his life Getting into shooting weddings How his ethos evolved His podcast, Outerfocus Being offered a very personal commission from Martin Parr Referenced: Martin Parr (Ep 91.) Helen Levitt Bruce Gilden (Ep 84.) Richard Avedon Don McCullin Website | Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | Podcast “Photographing granny on the dance floor with two pints of lager in her hand purposely is different to recognising something that you connect with and photograph. And that’s where there’ll always be a difference with what I do. I have no commercial interest at all with weddings... I’m not running a business with wedding photography... I just want people to get what I do and when people get that, then great, we’re on.”

Pip Jamieson is a superhero. In 2014 Pip founded The Dots, the UK’s largest networking platform for those in the creative industry, as a rival to the “old stale corporate homogeneous beast” that is LinkedIn. In five short years The Dots has grown to over half a million profiles, and shows no sign of stopping. With dozens of accolades under her belt from The Sunday Times, Creative Review, and Sadiq Kahn himself, Pip’s vision of a new way for creatives to find jobs and likeminded people is coming to life, and stopping the stuffy white collars in their tracks. In this episode of TFR: The Podcast, Pip, Paul, and Cookie sip champagne and discuss Pip’s colourful career so far, how having dyslexia has helped to build her empire, and that time she woke up almost upside down on a houseboat…?!

Something I did, [when looking for investment] is that I made a list of all the asshole investors that I heard about in town. And for the first month, I pitched them first. And it was horrific. I was pitching all these awful alpha males [and] I was literally coming home to my husband in pieces. But what was great about that process is by the time I got to the investors I really wanted; I was pitch ready – Pip Jamieson, CEO of The Dots This episode of This Way Up was recorded live on stage at the famous Design and Advertising festival in London in May 2019 and features the amazing Pip Jamieson.Pip is the founder of The Dots, a platform dubbed “LinkedIn for creatives” - that is all about connecting, supporting and championing the people, teams and companies that make ideas happen. Pip has been named one of the Top 50 Leaders in the UK by Creative Review and The Sunday Times Top 100 Disruptive Entrepreneurs. During our conversation, I delve into Pip’s fascinating career. From embracing her crippling dyslexia from a young age and turning it into her superpower. She points outs during our conversation that everyone from Sir Richard Branson, Holly Tucker, Jo Malone to Steve Jobs had dyslexia - proving in the process an important stat: 35% of entrepreneurs have dyslexia, and 40% are self-made millionaires. She also talks about some big milestones in her journey - from ‘blagging it’ as the Head of Marketing for MTV, in New Zealand – “I'd never done marketing before in my life…I didn't have a traditional marketing education, because it was just as things were shifting digitally. And somehow, serendipitously, Facebook launched at the same time. And because I didn't have that traditional marketing background, I just sort of just did it. I just tried it and see if it was going to succeed or fail”To starting her company ‘The Dots’ as a “non-tech, tech founder” and the highs, the lows, and what comes with being a female entrepreneur - from learning how to pitch in a room full of male VCs, responding to negative criticism, being ambitious and wanting to take on the goliaths of this world – she famously says during our conversation she fully intends to overtake Linkedin in 10 to 15 years - you heard it here first!So whether you are embarking into the start-up world or just want to make the most out of your career, there’s something for everyone in Pip’s journey – if nothing else her infectious energy is just worth listening to and will make you feel like you can achieve anything!

Design Your Life podcast Episode 013 with Vince Frost in conversation with graphic design icon, Matt Willey. In 2014 Matt was named 'Designer of the Year' by Creative Review, and was elected as a member of the Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI) in 2015. After many roles working as a graphic designer across a number of international magazines, at times alongside Vince Frost, he has gone from founding his own graphic agency, Studio 8 in London, to now where he has spent the last five years in New York as the current Art Director for the New York Times. In this episode, Matt shares how he essentially “fell-in” to his career as a designer, his wellness tactic of “feeling uncomfortable” to get out of his introverted shell, and the major turning point of his life after being clinically diagnosed as deaf at a young age, and how not being able to hear enough actually helped him hear more. Stay tuned for Episode 014 featuring Design Director for Condé Nast's flagship title, Vanity Fair, Chris Dixon.

We're back for series three! Like a run down syphilitic bus. What's happened in our absence? Not a whole lot. Creative Review has gone to the paywall, Charlie Higson got stuck in a twisty maze of passageways, all alike, Fonts got all, like, look at us, we're fonts, we're so academic. And Hellboy is coming to a tabletop near you. This week we talk digital tipping jars: Patreon, Kofi and the like. Rob's considering throwing his flat cap onto the cobbles and asking for donations. Jon works his monocle into his mean little eye and turns his snooty nose skywards. Pies are tested as usual, but no LOTR this week. Old Man Willow stole our books.

Joining us on the podcast this week is Akwasi Poku, a creative at London-based agency Wieden+Kennedy, who we met on February 9th. Akwasi takes us on a journey through his varied start in the industry – from editorial and broadcasting experience to jobs in post-production – and explains why resilience is such an essential trait in advertising. As part of a creative duo, both Akwasi and his partner Abdou Cisse have worked at Wieden + Kennedy since last year, having made the jump from R/GA, where they filled more traditional copywriting and art directing roles. A team for the past four years, Akwasi describes how they came together, and why working with a friend is so conducive to good, honest ideas. Their work has seen them create ideas for brands such as Nike, Google and the Sainsbury’s (including on the recent Christmas campaign), and has even helped projects win awards from the likes of D&AD and Creative Review. He tells us how he’s created his own opportunities along the way, the value of drawing from your own interests and experiences, and why persistence is your greatest assets as a creative. “The second you give up is when your journey stops,” he shares, “even in the bad moments you’re learning so much.” ...

In March 1913, Thomas James Cobden-Sanderson threw the most beautiful typeface in the world off of London's Hammersmith Bridge to keep it out of the hands of his estranged printing partner. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll explore what would lead a man to destroy the culmination of his life's work -- and what led one modern admirer to try to revive it. We'll also scrutinize a housekeeper and puzzle over a slumped child. Intro: Gustav Mahler rejected the Berlin Royal Opera because of the shape of his nose.

This is AADA, and I’m Craig Burgess MUSIC As a designer Especially as a young designer, or a learning designer Doing just enough isn’t anywhere near enough The competition is too large The amount of skills you need to learn is too lengthy Doing a design course, or just turning up 9-5 at your job Isn’t going to cut it if you want to become an amazing designer, or even any more than an average one Really early on in my design education I realised this I read magazines like Creative Review and Grafik, and every day I was exposed to amazing design work I realised if I was going to compete with anybody in those magazines I had to work harder than them Or at least as hard as them And after reading interviews with these designers in those magazines I knew that they didn’t turn up on a morning and leave at tea time, and never did anything else These people spoke of always thinking about design And if they got an idea in their head, no matter what time it was, they’d pursue it, and see where it went That’s why inertia is weird to me That’s why doing nothing is weird to me Doing nothing has been the exact opposite of my personality for the last 12 years People might call me a workaholic But when you’re a designer, or anything else for that matter If you really love what you do, and you do it as a hobby as well, does that make it a job? Sometimes I do design work that I don’t like, or that doesn’t turn out like I hoped We all have jobs like that, everything you do can’t be a masterpiece after all But I’m always working on my masterpiece in my spare time My next side project piece of design that will be absolutely amazing, honestly And that nobody else has a say in other than me I guess you could call that art, but lets not get into that argument today Maybe you’re not the same, but I find inertia contagious I find if I do nothing for even an hour, I don’t want to do anything for the rest of the day If I want to exercise on an evening after work And I come home and don’t do it immediately, I won’t do it for the rest of the night either If I have an evening off doing work or design or something productive, it stops me doing things the day after I think productivity is some kind of weird habit, or a muscle that you train If you don’t regularly train yourself to be productive You don’t get productive If you regularly don’t do anything,...

According to our guest on this episode, much of the news industry is engaged in a battle they can’t win, a fight over eyeballs and ad revenue with companies like Google and Facebook, where the terms will get worse and worse as time goes by. The answer? Community. By building a community that values the work that they create, they can wrestle back some of the control over their audience and receive support directly from the people who consume and appreciate the product they are creating. Andrew Losowsky is the project lead of The Coral Project, a collaboration between Mozilla, The New York Times and The Washington Post, that is helping news organizations build better communities and more loyal readers through tools, research and strategy. Among our topics: Forcing a layer of community over traditional journalism vs. providing newsrooms with a cogent plan Why they are building Talk, an open source comments platform Are news organizations better served by hiring another reporter… or a community pro? Our Podcast is Made Possible By… If you enjoy our show, please know that it’s only possible with the generous support of our sponsor: Higher Logic. Big Quotes “[Forcing community on newsrooms] is saying to journalists that they have to spend time in the comments without actually giving them the tools or the training to be able to do so effectively. … It looks like saying, ‘You need to ask your readers for help’ or ‘You need to crowdsource this’ or ‘Why don’t you go and talk to people at this event or in these comments?,’ without actually giving any strategy or thought to it. What you end up with is journalists who are very resentful of having another task placed on top of them. A task where they don’t see the connection between their journalistic work and this community work that they’re being asked to do.” -@losowsky “If you don’t understand and have a real commitment to community as part of your journalistic mission, as part of the strategy of what you’re trying to achieve in the totality of the newsroom, not just within one corner of the it, then it will, ultimately, always fail. We’ve seen this repeatedly. For me, a little part of me dies when I see that happen because what we’re really missing is the kinds of connections that journalism needs, in order to survive.” -@losowsky “Community is not a choice. The choice is what you do with it.” -@patrickokeefe “Right now, so much of the news industry’s revenue model is based around advertising and creating clickbait in order to get the numbers that will then get enough eyeballs on the advertising. I think this is a really shortsighted strategy. … Over half, I think, of the online advertising money goes directly to Facebook and Google. This is not a battle that the news industry is going to win. The terms are going to get worse and worse as you move forward from that. It really is antithetical to community because what you’re saying is, ‘I want people to come here, and I don’t care where they come from.’ Versus trying to build a community who value what we’re doing and will pay for it.” -@losowsky “If somebody flags a thousand times, and you’ve only ever deleted two of the comments they’ve flagged, then the next time they flag, maybe you don’t bring it straight to the moderator’s attention until somebody, who is more reliable as a flagger, does flag it. Then on the other side of that, if somebody is really good at flagging, if they flag 100 times and 90% of the time they end up flagging something that you end up deleting, they’re as good as our moderators. If they flag something, maybe we should just pull it for the moderator to look at immediately and just not have it there in the stream.” -@losowsky “The [real name] issue really comes down to whether or not people will behave better because of real names or maybe they will behave worse. If a name sounds like the person might identify as a woman, that can really change and worsen peoples’ behavior towards them. If there’s no way of hiding, if there’s no way of being anonymous, then you could be encouraging a great homogeneity in your community as a result, or/and encouraging different kinds of harassment and abuse.” -@losowsky About Andrew Losowsky Andrew Losowsky is originally from the UK and, since the age of 18, has lived in Hong Kong, Spain and now the U.S. In 2003, he became the editorial director of an indie Spanish editorial startup that built communities around original content.

Welcome to the podcast from ASOS that brings you awesome career advice from inspiring women. This episode, Georgia Murray chats to Danielle Pender, the founder and editor of Riposte.

"There are pictures of the weeping comeback captain and Divine Ponytail consoling each other while Brazilian players dance in the background. No one did more on the pitch to drag Italy to the final than Baggio. No one did more off the pitch than Baresi." In Episode Thirty Two we look at 'In Appreciation of Franco Baresi' by Sheridan Bird, first published in Issue Eight in 2013. The article touches on the Italian captain's unusual journey to the finals - from his orphaned upbringing and rejection by Inter, through to an abortive international retirement - and his remarkable recovery from arthroscopic knee surgery to play the full 120 minutes in the blazing Pasadena Rosebowl sunshine. Sheridan Bird writes for Champions, World Soccer, Creative Review, Sporting iD, FourFourTwo and the Manchester United and England match programmes. He has written for Gazzetta della Sport online and appeared on Italian state radio RAI 1 during Euro 2012.

Malaysian designer Kay Khoo starts talking about the ins and outs of organizing a conference in India and the bureaucracy involved. He explains that Indian culture is very submissive, and that the government looks a lot like that of China. Perhaps India will be even more like China in fifteen years. Khoo also designed the whole interface for Design Yatra. He finds the digital space very interesting. India is just beginning to develop its own digital design. Khoo talks about why he chose design as his profession and the future plans for Design Yatra. There are a lot of stones to be moved in India, since many designers don’t yet know how to promote themselves. Recorded at Design Yatra 2011 in Goa, India.
