Customer Reviews
Delivers exactly what it promises
DesignGuy is great for anyone, including designers. As a designer myself I find that it's sometimes difficult to carefully articulate certain design principles (especially to clients). I've had professors who have had less luck describing these same concepts. Each episode is short, yet very concise. A great podcast for those with an interest in design.
Great Resource...
I really like this podcast, and have listened to every single one in this series many times. id give it an extra half-star if i could. i work as a designer myself and as Anthony points out, it is often easy while you're working to lose track of the forest because you're looking at trees. This podcast reminds you of the forest...
Clear, to the point and enjoyable
Anthony Rotolo must work hard to deliver this enlightening and educational mini class. Rotolo's ability to orally describe a visual presentation is excellent. Thanks for the chance to learn!
