Hello! Welcome to Rasterized, a podcast about life and design with Sydney and Eric.

— Some final thoughts on color fonts!

In this episode we talk about:
— Good things come to those who hustle, including experience, portfolio diversification, connections, and more. Do you have skills (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsiiIa6bs9I) and the desire to use them for some moolah (or karma) on the side? You may want to consider freelancing. We talk tips and things to consider.

— Look at freelancing on a larger scale, especially in light of watching Hank Green’s video “Why You Haven’t Started a Business” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_NrLQnmCBw).

— Knowing how to meet technological needs of employers. Sometimes you gotta connect the dots for someone else to see a need that you, the savvy freelancer that you are, can fulfill.

— Attack of the apps. Brief ideas on to work with apps like Pokemon Go, Snapchat, and Instagram that directly affect one’s work life.

— Derelict 90s tech a la the tune of a dial-up screech.

— UI and Iconography.

— Optimized times for creative work

— Anonymous communication sites. There’s a lot to consider like “real” constructive feedback (is it?), hate mail, and general creepiness on anonymous platforms. We share our thoughts and bad pronunciations on the matter.
— Dishing up this podcast with rice. We’re hoping it’s a 10/10.
— Our super rad typeface of the week.
