Episode 0: This is Your Favorite Record
Have you ever grabbed a record off the shelf or hit play on Spotify because the album artwork was that enticing and eye-catching?
Have you ever discovered a new band because you loved the artwork? Have you ever wondered how the artwork was created or if there were any special meanings behind the design? Then maybe this podcast is for you.
Welcome to Your Favorite Record, a podcast where I talk to the designer behind the album artwork. Hear the stories straight from the source of what it was like to create the art behind some of your favorite records.
Each episode I'll be joined by the designer who created the artwork. We'll talk the design process, tools used, font choices and what it was like to collaborate with the band or artist.
