Welcome to Artisans & Trade! My name is Stephen Obisanya and I'm a self-taught documentary photographer and creator. Over the years, I've had the unique opportunity to learn from remarkable figures across a wide variety of fields. That experience, along with a passion for hearing and documenting people's stories, has made me curious to find more of those types of people and to share their knowledge and insights with an audience just as curious as me, and dedicated to forging a unique path.

In this podcast, I'll be sitting down with amateur and professional artists, entrepreneurs, and notable figures to discuss the work they dedicate their lives to, their philosophy on life, and what it takes to build around one's passion.

19 Nov 2021A&T Talks :: How to Design Logo Identities That Last00:54:39

A&T Talks — Practical advice and insight for your creative journey in 30 minutes or less.


:: BREAKDOWN

In this A&T Talks episode, designer, teacher, and author, Michael Shumate joins us to talk about the concepts in his new book Logo Design Theory: How Branding Design Really Works. He taught graphic design and illustration for twenty-five years and is now generously sharing his discoveries on the principles of logo design with the world.  Michael has designed identities in all areas of branding: commercial, government, institutional, product and retail.

While teaching Branding Design he taught approximately 900 students and graded over 2700 branding projects. That teaching experience, in addition to his professional work, helped him discover fundamental principles of identity design, the core principles of logo design, that remain true, regardless of current fads or fashions. Today, he continues his teaching tradition via his Youtube channel where he is creating what is arguably a masterclass on how to design logos that adhere to the principles of design and can stand the test of time.
