The final episode in a 3-part mini series focused on the topic of ‘inspiration’, Diana dishes up her thoughts on the topic of inspiration, marrying her experiences with others’ research. She will explain the way she thinks about ‘a-ha moments’, as well as share a framework that allows humans to connect to inspiration more easily through ‘ACE-ing’ it: embrace, pace, place, space, interface and chase. So what are you waiting for? Your next great idea? Good, because it’s waiting for you too.

The second episode in a 3-part mini series focused on the topic of ‘inspiration’, Diana sits down with a panel of 5 Master of Digital Media Students from Toronto Metropolitan University to learn more about their personal experiences with inspiration; what inspires them, how they seek it out (or don’t seek it out) and a series of other big ideas (self-worth, flow state, rest) that weave in and out of this topic.

This is a very special crossover episode between Talk Paper Scissors and the Graphic Design is Fun podcast where Diana and Canadian graphic designer, Dan Alan, chat about the topics of teaching and learning graphic design.

In this conversation, Dan describes what he believes it takes to be a graphic designer, as well as his thoughts about learning graphic design. He reveals what’s on his radar right now and what it might mean for the future of the industry.

After listening to this episode, head over to Dan’s podcast, Graphic Design is Fun, where you’ll hear him pick Diana’s brain about her teaching origin story (which may surprise you!), how her role as an instructor has evolved over the last 10 years and the pair dip their toes into topics very close to Diana’s heart; namely creative confidence and normalizing failure.
