Do you need to up your graphic design game? This week I sat down with my amazing coworker and friend Anna Cobian - who is a creative genius - to get an inside look into the creative process and how all good graphic designers ALWAYS design for their audience, not themselves. Anna gives some tips that work for all experience levels, ranging from "don't know anything about graphic design" to "yeah, I pretty much know what I'm doing". Anna and I also talk about the importance of always learning, and learning quickly. Here are some of the websites she references during the podcast: Dribble (https://dribbble.com/), Behance (https://bit.ly/2Inpfcm) and Smashing Magazine (https://www.smashingmagazine.com/) - follow these for all things digital inspiration. Once you're done the episode, join the #generationnow community by following @generationnowpodcast on Instagram or @generationnowpodcast on Pinterest. Also make sure to follow Anna on Instagram, @anmeco - and tell her how amazing she is! Questions, comments, concerns? Email [email protected]
