I'm back and this season I'm focusing on the "basics" of design, marketing, and branding. I use these concepts in my daily job and they all go hand in hand so well! I thought this season would be interesting to teach the basics and why I find them so useful.

This episode is about the 4 Basics of Good Design: Hierarchy, Color, Typography, and White Space. I teach them with my usual "less is more" approach!

Seriously though have you ever thought that the only thing keeping all these social giants going is us? 🤔 I realize a whole lot of tech jobs rely on keeping us engaged and feeling like what we're saying, posting, promoting, sharing, liking, tagging, saying, listening to, engaging with, and just plain doom scrolling to is important and is an economy in and of itself. 🤑 Still though......if we all just walked away from social, imagine what we could all do with that free time. 😮

This week I'm with my good friend and lookalike Zak Piper!

We delve into the topic of retail and how certain experiences and various marketing elements cause us to either love or hate our shopping experiences. Zak is an assistant retail manager for the WIU Bookstore.

Most importantly we ask what superpower we'd both want to make mundane retail tasks easier - spoiler - I go rogue and pick a villain move!

Disclaimer: We talk a lot of crap about Walmart, but trust me we both spend way too much money there to actually hate it ;)
