Listen Later

We're thrilled to kick off another season of The Creative Boom Podcast with an exclusive episode featuring someone who is undoubtedly a hero to many graphic designers and creatives.

We had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Brian Cannon of Microdot fame, the legendary graphic designer behind some of the most iconic album covers of the '90s, including Oasis' unforgettable artwork for classics like Definitely Maybe and (What's the Story) Morning Glory?. With Oasis recently announcing their highly anticipated reunion tour, Brian takes us on a nostalgic journey through his incredible career, sharing untold stories from the heart of Britpop.

We delve into the creative magic that sparked his long-standing collaboration with the Gallagher brothers, the rebellious punk-rock spirit that inspired his early work, and the defining moments that cemented his legacy in music history. From designing album sleeves in his bedroom to working on re-releases for Oasis today, Brian offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the art, the pressure, and the sheer joy of crafting visuals for one of the world's most beloved bands.

Whether you're a fan of Oasis, fascinated by graphic design, or love a good creative story, this episode is packed with insight, humour, and nostalgia. So grab a brew and get ready as we bring you the art, the legacy, and the stories behind the scenes with Brian Cannon.
