Ted Audio Collective

What is something that we can all relate to?

We're trying to communicate.

I know it's the commercial arts, but it's really communication arts.

From the Ted Audio Collective, this is Design Matters with Debbie Nolman.

For 17 years, Debbie Nolman has been talking with designers and other creative people about

what they do, how they got to be who they are, and what they're thinking about and working

on.

On this episode, Illustrator Ping-Zoo explains how she thinks about her profession.

You want people to understand what you're making.

You want people to see and make sure that it makes sense to them.

Hey, listener, a quick favor.

We are conducting an audience survey, and we'd be really grateful if you could take just

a few minutes to respond.

Please visit survey.prx.org slash design matters to take the survey today.

That's survey.prx.org slash design matters.

Thanks.

If I could describe Ping-Zoo's distinctive style of illustration, I could pile on the adjectives.

Painterly comes to mind, bold and colorful, funny, cute, especially her animals, striking

and memorable, always, and if you don't know her by name, you're likely to have seen

her work in the New Yorker on wallpapers for Google Meet, on ads for companies like Reebok,

on book covers, and on illustrations inside the books themselves.
