May 03, 2022 Graphic designers guide to Dynamic Logos
Some brands believe modifying the logo is taboo and would damage the brand. One should NEVER touch the logo. But how many times have you seen a wide logo jammed into a square space, or a tall logo sitting empty in a website header?

But therein lies the problem - for so long we've been told to keep a logo consistent - that static is best. These days, that simply isn't always true.

In this episode of The Angry Designer, the rant about the transformative world of dynamic logos, and how to create logos in your own projects that are adaptable and responsive!

The future is dynamic - and your brand is no different.

April 26, 2022Psychology of fonts: Why we choose the fonts we do!
If there's one thing that can make or break a design, it's a font. Fresh graphic designers often overload them, experienced designers take them away, and for a lucky few, font choices are just second nature.

But have you ever really thought about WHY we use the fonts we do? Why certain font choices and styles can impact our audiences so dramatically, the composition, the mood?

Turns out, there's a whole art to the psychology of fonts, and it is FASCINATING!

In this episode of The Angry Designer, the wanna-be lumberjacks take a deeper look at how fonts effect our unconscious emotions and how to make sure you're choosing the right fonts for your own projects!

In this podcast episode, the gents will cover:
What is font psychology
How fonts affect perceptions
Primitive and priming
Gestalt theory
how to chose the RIGHT font
You will be amazed at how much research and time people have actually put into this topic that we - superawesome graphic designers - just take for granted.
