PP 176: James Martin on Sharing Your Process & Giving Yourself Time to Grow
So many creatives want a get rich quick pill or a hack to overnight stardom.
If something doesn’t pop off in a few days, weeks, or months, it’s time to move onto the next shiny object that could yield quick results.
There are no cheat codes, and today’s guest is living proof that good things take time.
I’m talking about one of my new BFFs and logo legend, James Martin.
He’s sunk his teeth into this design game for 15+ years and has been building his company, Baby Giant Design Co., for 10 years.
He’s known for his one-of-a-kind hand-drawn logo concepts and the visual delivery behind his uplifting design and thought process.
Yes, he gains heavy clout with his work, but what I respect the most is the rippling impact he makes on our creative community by being a source of positivity and transparency.
On today’s episode, we chat about:
The power of sharing your work and process
Navigating your own road on your own terms
How to overlap art and design
Allowing yourself and work to be shit
Logo design, always progressing, veganism, and more.
He’s got an insanely valuable resource called the Logo Black Book that he’s giving away for free over at LogoBlackBook.com. More on that later.
If you’re ready to play the long game and reap the rewards along the way then this episode was crafted for you.
