It has been a long time in a long while since I spoke (obviously not literally); but I am back! The Designstration Podcast is definitely back!These past few months, I have realized that a designer's road can get really rough, but we don't give up and we don't give in; we keep on keeping on!On this episode, I shared something dearly about IMMEDIATELY and DEFINITELY.Do well to eavesdrop on the conversation.Design + Illustration = Designstration
In this episode, Fiyin and I talked about design vs illustration; not necessarily were we comparing both, rather heavily on speculating if illustration is or not an entity of design!
Fiyin Adeniyi is a Brand Identity Specialist and an Illustrator with years of experience designing, and on this episode, we conversed on the possible struggle one may experience to completely pivot from either illustrations to brand design or vice versa.
Alright, no more spoiler alert: do enjoy the episode as you listen.
When an Artist tour you through their background story, that alone paints every art piece you've seen them make into a new masterpiece! I had the privilege of interviewing Olamide Agunbiade on this Episode where we discussed Job Opportunities for Illustrators in Nigeria. Have fun listening. You can also see Olamide's work here: olamide.ng
I remember when I started illustration and design in 2019. I remember how frightening it was. I remember crying and quiting as it really was hard; but I started. I started simple with what I had and help came; and I shared my work. Of course, there are levels to these things, still, I am glad I am not where I used to be. You too can Start Simple & Share.
I am an Illustrator and Designer, I love what I do and we will talk about what I do as well as what I do not do with friends who love what they do. Thus, we will talk about illustrations, designs and more. These episodes will be more alive when you listen to them while doing your doings like illustrating, designing, coding, exercising, driving, resting etc. Finally brethren, design plus illustration equals designstration. Cheers ✏️
