How Does Good Design Draw You In – Episode 011 - a podcast by Brandi Sea

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, Design Speaks
