  • The Ugly Truth About How AI Will Replace Graphic Designers – Are You Safe or Helping It Take Your Job?
    Feb 18 2025

    AI is already replacing some Graphic Designers—and if you’re not paying attention, you could be next. The scary part? Most Graphic Designers are making it easy for AI to take their place. Whether it’s by ignoring it, misusing it, or pretending it’s not happening, too many are sleepwalking straight into irrelevance.

    Meanwhile, the smartest Graphic Designers are flipping the script—using AI to work faster, think bigger, and dominate the industry. The question is: Are you falling behind, or are you using AI to your advantage?

    In this episode of The Angry Designer, we rip apart the hype and lay out the brutal truthwho AI is actually replacing in graphic design. You'll discover:

    • The two types of AI tools—one that makes you unstoppable, the other that makes you obsolete
    • How to use AI to become an absolute weapon in design instead of a victim of automation
    • The worst mistakes Graphic Designers are making with AI that are costing them their future

    If you’re ignoring AI, you’re making a mistake. If you’re using it the wrong way, you’re making a bigger mistake. This episode is your wake-up call—before it’s too late.

  • How-To SEE the World Like a Graphic Designer
    Feb 11 2025

    Most Graphic Designers LOOK—but the best Graphic Designers SEE OPPORTUNITIES. Pros see patterns, strategies, and opportunities. They understand why things work—not just how they look.

    Most designers are stuck in surface-level thinking, obsessing over aesthetics while missing the bigger picture. If you’re only focused on making things look good, you’ll never break out of the ‘just a designer’ trap—stuck doing low-level work while other designers move ahead. The real game-changers in Graphic Design don’t just create—they SEE OPPORTUNITIES.

    In this episode of The Angry Designer, we’re exposing the #1 skill that separates struggling designers from those who land the best clients, bigger paychecks, and creative freedom—seeing opportunities where others don’t.

    We’re breaking down 10 ways to SEE the world like a top designer, where you’ll discover:

    🔥 How to spot hidden opportunities that most designers ignore
    🔥 Why great design actually works (not just how to make things pretty)
    🔥 How to train your eye to think like a strategist, not just a pixel pusher

    If you want to break free from being just another Graphic Designer and start seeing the world like a pro, this episode is your wake-up call.

    👉 WATCH NOW on YouTube or LISTEN on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your fix.

  • Graphic Design Business Lessons by Andy Warhol. Turning Your Creativity Into Cash!
    Feb 4 2025

    Graphic designers are taught to create, not sell—and that’s exactly why so many talented designers stay broke. The harsh reality? Talent alone won’t make you successful.

    The industry is full of insanely skilled designers who struggle to make ends meet while less talented ones cash in—because they get it: design is a business.

    And no one understood that better than Andy Warhol.

    Warhol didn’t just create art—he built a brand, scaled his work, and turned creativity into cold, hard cash (while actually enjoying the ride). While traditional artists clung to their so-called “purity,” Warhol mass-produced art in his legendary Factory, treating his career like an enterprise. And guess what? It worked.

    In this episode of The Angry Designer, we tear into:

    • The 4 Warhol strategies designers can steal to scale, market, and sell better
    • Why branding yourself is just as important as the work you create
    • The myth of originality—and why Warhol proved it doesn’t matter

    It’s time to stop thinking like a starving artist and start thinking like a creative entrepreneur. If you’re sick of being overlooked while mediocre designers make bank, this is the episode for you.

    Hit play and start building your Warhol-level empire.
