How Does Good Design Draw You In – Episode 011


Listen Later

This week Michelle wants to know what exactly it is that makes good design attractive to people.
1:02 What did Michelle do what the color inspiration from ep 10? She definitely just bought an outfit when she wasn’t supposed to. :/
2:12 If Michelle is watching color or dresses, it’s because it’s laundry day. Surprise!
3:15 How do you properly take a compliment? Someone teach us, please.
5:08 If Brandi sees something that she doesn’t like (within graphic design) she doesn’t say anything unless asked… And then she’s (constructively) brutally honest.
7:00 Michelle’s song for the week: Death Cab for Cutie, “The New Year”
7:30 Their music is super vibe’y and feel’y, and great music to listen to in the spring/summertime if you’re not feeling the normal top 40 sounding jams.
10:30 This song represents new seasons, literally and metaphorically… Even if you don’t feel like it’s new, it’s a great song that can inspire you to really “go for it”.
11:04 Sorry about that airplane you hear.
12:25 What’s cool about Brandi’s week?
12:37 Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer. *heart eyes*
13:29 Please don’t unsubscribe from us.
13:40 Thor: Ragnarok. Have you seen this trailer yet???????? (As soon as Led Zeppelin started playing, we were sold.)
14:08 Directed by Taika Waititi
15:05 Same guy directed “What We Do In The Shadows” — Watch this movie. Many Lol’s.
16:00 Brandi’s song for this week: O.A.R., Follow me Follow you… A great feel’y and nostalgic song.
18:45 Gary Vee said, “Creative is the variable of success.”
20:15 Question time! What is it that draws people to a good design?
21:15 The designer always has (or should have) the consumer in mind.
22:01 You know what YOU like – colors, type, shapes… The primary thing is that “makes sense.”
22:37 Graphic design is also called visual communication.
23:14 If you’re communicating the message of the brand or product you’re trying to promote, you will connect with someone.
25:00 Vans warped tour posters are super illustrated. Colors and drawings. Names of the bands, but ZERO photography.
26:51 Don’t underestimate your audience and accidentally treat them like idiots.
28:00 The van’s posters communicated the feel of the event.
28:46 Check out the Van’s Warped Tour, Coachella,
