006: Richard Baird
Our guest this time is none other than Richard Baird, one of the most inspirational people out there in the world of design. Richard is the creator of LogoArchive and BP&O, and is dedicated to cataloging, researching, and reviewing graphic design. In this episode, we chat about his one-day mission to design LogoArchive Issue 1, his journey from furniture to graphic design, and discuss so much more that it would be a disservice to try and condense it to words here. It’s one of the most thoughtful talks I’ve had as part of this podcast.

003: Ian Paget (LogoGeek)
My special guest this week is Ian Paget, a UK based graphic designer and host of the incredible Logo Geek podcast, which as you’ll hear, holds a very special place in my heart. In this episode we talk about the butterfly effect, time travel, the meaning of life and death... and graphic design too!

002: Riptype (Nick Losacco & Ciaran Brandin)
In this episode I chat with Nick Losacco and Ciaran Brandin, two graphic and type designers who recently launched Riptype, an independent type foundry.
Nick is from Montreal while Ciaran is from Brooklyn, and they discuss how they formed their partnership, what it’s like launching a foundry today, the current state of type, and most importantly - whether or not they hate oranges.

001: Do It Yourself
Before I start talking to special guests, I thought it'd be good for you to get to know me first. In this first episode of Magic Wand I fly solo and introduce myself and my graphic design story, talk about why I love to make stuff, reveal my horrible first job in design, and relay the importance of Edna Mode from The Incredibles.

Customer Reviews
Joseph is the wizard with the Magic Wand!
As someone who is not tapped into the graphic design world, Joseph’s laid-back style and demeanor makes learning about various designing ideas and designers feel non-threading, and fun!
The wide variety of guests on the podcasts also lets the viewer breath in between episodes. Overall, I highly recommend this podcast to anyone who’s vaguely interested in the world of graphic design. I promise, you won’t regret listening!
Love this!
It’s nice to have a design podcast that doesn’t take everything TOO seriously. Nice and accessible and pretty funny too!
Great so far!
You’re a good talker, I look forward to seeing what interesting guests you find!
