Following the success of his his first podcast The Futures Archive, host Lee Moreau was asked by Design Observer to do another. He assembled a small team, including myself, and together we set out to create a unique visual and sonic identity for this new podcast, which was to be titled Design as: ____.
For season 1, the podcast was to be 6 episode mini-series focused on three words that are essential to design in the current moment (and in the future):
Culture, Complexity, and Citizenship
More than 200 permutations were created before downselecting to the final design. Below is a snapshot of that process. If you're interested in what the entire process looked like, feel free to reach out to me.
Ahead of the launch, my team and I needed to determine the brand look and feel as well as a logo, title cards for each episode, and intro/ midroll/ SFX / outro music. My role included project management, creative direction, and visual design.
