  • Revealing What Graphic Designers Get Wrong About Their Clients. Yes, Size Matters!
    Nov 26 2024

    "Not all clients are created equal"—a truth every Graphic Designer discovers sooner or later. Whether it’s a small, scrappy startup or a sprawling corporate giant, working with different-sized clients presents its own unique set of challenges and opportunities.

    But how do you navigate these extremes without losing your sanity (or your creativity)?

    In this episode of The Angry Designer podcast, we’re breaking down the fundamental differences between working with big and small clients. From the red tape of approval processes to the creative freedom (or lack thereof), we’ll guide you through the pros, cons, and strategies for thriving with these clients no matter who’s on the other side of the table.

    • Discover why small clients aren’t just "stepping stones" but gateways to creative freedom
    • Learn how big clients can offer stability—and the hidden pitfalls to watch for
    • Get insider tips on navigating scope creep, managing expectations, and building lasting relationships with both client types

    Packed with our no-holds bared advice, fiery insights, and a bit of ranting, this episode will leave you equipped to tackle any design client, big or small, with confidence.

    By the end, you’ll understand the game-changing differences between Big vs Small clients and how to use this knowledge to elevate your Graphic Design career.

    So grab your coffee (or Bourbon) and tune in!

  • The REAL Truth On Macs vs PCs for Graphic Design. Are You on the Wrong Side?
    Nov 19 2024

    Forget about Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul - there is a BIGGER rivalry for Graphic Designers: Mac vs PC. For decades, Graphic Designers have worshipped at the altar of the Mac—it's been the gold standard for Graphic Designers, the non-negotiable creative tool, right? But is that reputation still deserved, or are designers just caught in the cult of Mac? Do you really need a Mac for Graphic Design?

    This week on The Angry Designer podcast, we dive into the ultimate creative rivalry: Mac vs PC. Do you really need a Mac to be a great Graphic Designer, or are you just paying for the brand? We're tearing down the hype and dissecting the hard facts to uncover:

    • How Mac's slick tradition turned into a Graphic Designer status symbol
    • The raw truth about performance, price, and longevity between MacBook Pro, Dell XPS, and Surface for Graphic Design
    • Which computer is right FOR YOU!
    • The ONE thing Mac has that PCs can’t touch—and why it might be a game-changer


    Whether you're a loyal Mac diehard or a PC tinkerer, it's time to question what really matters for your creative career.
