It's always easier to YES than to say NO. 

But what if saying YES
- stopped your skills from getting better
- stopped you from finding better clients
- stopped you from making more money

Learning to say NO the right way will take you further and faster than any other skill you can learn in your design career. This episode will talk about when it's good to say NO, warning signs & flags to watch for, and a step-by-step way to say NO and still look like a hero.

You'll be learning to say NO all the way to success.

Can a brand be stronger than it's logo? 

The Kia brand was once known as a budget friendly car. From it's ads, to it's logos, no one wanted a Kia, they merely settled because of it's price point.  In recent years however, Kia's cars have become technological marvels offering more value with more innovation than vehicles twice its' price tag. Has the product outgrown the brand? 

With a bit of history, some interesting new vision statements and a glorious new logo reveal event, The Angry Designers rant about the new Kia logo providing both a biases AND unbiased opinion. You don't have to be a car enthusiast to appreciate this episode.

Who needs a designer anymore - there's an app for that! 

Did you ever notice how everywhere you look, there is software trying to replace the services people provide? From graphic design to customer service and even coding - there is a misconception that you don't need a person anymore!

The gents have a go at the misconception that AI logo generating software can replace a designers role. It takes much more than logo generating software to make you a graphic designer. Using Photoshop doesn't automatically make you a Graphic Designer.

Touching on what a designer actually does, the differences between a designer & artist, limitations of software and when to use these online, budget friendly tools, this episode will leave you feeling vindicated  that your job is more secure now than ever.
