Final podcast identity and project composite
WMU Design Grind is a podcast show on Spotify produced by the 2021-2022 AIGA WMU student chapter. With exclusive interviews, WMU Design Grind provides a firsthand look at the lives of design students and their work.
The identity of the podcast show evolved much from its inception in winter 2021. The original concept mimicked the outline of the Richmond Center (home of the graphic design program). Ultimately the design direction went for a less site-specific, type-based identity. The final identity is garnished with sparks between “DESIGN” and “GRIND” to reflect on the concept of “grinding gears”. A cursor with a motion trail is added to the background to symbolize the routine of design.
