About this episode

Aren't you tired of always being told what to do to become a BETTER Graphic Designer, or to design a better Logo, or to be a better Freelancer?

There is so much self help out there - our minds become numb to it! What if however, there was a list so ridiculous, that to be successful, you just had to do the opposite?

In this weeks episode of The Angry Designer Podcast, we enter a world of opposites - providing you a detailed list of how to DESTROY your career as a Graphic Designer, forcing you to think of how ridiculous choices can actually be? 

WARNING: Side effects of listening to this episode may include uncontrollable laughter, an urgent need to improve your design skills, and a sudden appreciation for sanity. Proceed with caution, and remember, this episode is for entertainment purposes ONLY!
