Whether you’re very much drawn into watching inspiration videos, looking at photos to get a good grasp at your own creativity, podcast is now the real deal.
Take a loot at these five creative podcasts about design and visual arts that will give you all the kick that you need:
ON DESIGN
Hosted by illustrator and designer Justyna Green, On Design offers a contemplative look at design through numerous lenses. Particularly great for deepening your understanding on the how’s and whys behind the work of leading industry figures. It also serves as an amazing collection of conversations on how each guest sees the world.
STANCE
Stance is the arts and culture podcast to turn to for perspectives that get to the core of a cultural, artistic, and social moment. Stance’s founder, journalist and curator Chrystal Genesis has crafted a series full of fascinating and vital topics often not discussed in the industry.
GRAPHIC SUPPORT GROUP
The world of graphic design is an industry that doesn’t offer much in the way of therapeutically supporting its workers. That’s where James Chae and Drew Litowitz come in. As Founders of the Graphic Support Group podcast, the duo explores the emotional and psychological dimensions of design practices. Talking to “a cadre of amazing graphic designers”, they hack away at “past traumas, spiritual mantras, PSDs, PTSD and inner peace”, the site explains.
To find out more about the podcast, you can read our recent feature with James and Drew. In the article, James expertly surmises the premise of the project: “We talk to people who are interested in imperfection, the fringes of beauty and what design really is.”
“RAISING THE BAAR” IN ART, CULTURE, AND SOCIETY
“Raising the BAAR” in Art, Culture, and Society podcast asks a series plugged directly into the evolving and exclusive world of art. Curated and produced by Jewell Sparks, the host talks to a range of artists, gallerists, collectors, and curators, amplifying their experience through a series of episodes and soundbites. For anyone wanting to dive deep into topics pertinent to the art market, curation and creation, previous episodes of “Raising the BAAR” include conversations such as how to hold art institutions, gallerists and collectors accountable for their efforts, and the sometimes unintentional, yet impactful effects of the exploitation of underrepresented artists.
PRIVATE VIEWS
For those wanting to focus on branding and keeping up with everything creative agency-related, Private Views is for you. It breaks down studio processes, studio culture, topics and issues everyone needs to consider when creating a brand.
The roster for each season has included some of the top design and branding agencies out there. Hear more from studios working with clients like The New York Times and Netflix, talking about topics including human behavior, ego and how they infiltrate the creative approach.
