In this Episode, Alex and Ari talk about some sources of inspiration for their design. We also go back to the beginning a little and talk about how we first got into design, but we will get more into that in a future episode. Oh and we also talk about racist teachers and how they suck.

We recorded this episode before the Outbreak of Corona reached a full pandemic. Please everyone, stay safe, wash your hands, and keep distance from one another. It is vital that you socially distance yourself and stay inside if you can.

Visual Pine now has an official Instagram. Please give us a follow there. We dont have much content on there yet but that's in the works.

This is a re upload since somehow the last version had no audio

In this episode, Ari and Alex talk about some of their early sources of inspiration and talk about the hardships they faced in elementary school. Mostly racist teachers. Ari talks about how anime inspired her a little bit and Alex talks about the importance that Polish Graphic Design has had on him. 

Please stay safe during this time. Wash your hands and make sure to avoid going out. Social distance! And wash yo hands! We will try to continue to post regularly but this may change.

We'll be honest, this episode is all over the place. But when were not talking about 7 Eleven coffee or their design, or about Polish Street Food, we're talking about what people dont understand about design. We go into what we wish people knew and perhaps what we should communicate more so non designers can understand our career better. 

In this episode we do a full 180 from last week and talk about all the good things about Montclair. The stuff we like, our professors, and how our classes went. Also, Alex tells a story that we do not advise you follow. 

In this episode we talk about what we feel are the short comings of montclair and what we wish was added to the design program at montclair. Also this episode has CATS, PIZZA, and BEER! who doesn't want those?
