    Graphic designers tend to be a passionate bunch. After all, creativity is an affair of the heart, and pursuing one’s passion is a joyous enterprise.

When someone else is calling the shots, can joy be derived purely from meeting the brief? Does compromise dull the joy of creativity, or does it add to the satisfaction of a job well delivered? We discuss the different flavours of fun to be had as a professional designer.

    Brand Recognition & Crisps Disruption

    When brands like crisp manufacturers create different varieties, they face a salty conundrum. Should they follow established conventions and risk imitating the competition? Or should they strike out and disrupt, flying in the face of popular associations? In this episode, Richard and Oscar join Danny to pop the semi-opaque lid of colour semiotics, peel back the foil of cultural bias, and reach into the tube of disruptive branding. Delicious.
