I was asked to make a third new identity for the very excellent Polyester Podcast to be used across all platforms.
Following on from the previous designs I’d done for them, I continued with a checkerboard background but this time used scanned notes and doodles to make a more ‘scrapbook’ aesthetic. The artwork was designed to be versatile and to work in many different colours.
I also created a frame variant to be used for special episodes.
