About

Graphic Design on the Radio began as a series of one-hour radio shows broadcast in the summer of 2007 on Resonance FM. Presented by me, Adrian Shaughnessy, the programmes featured interviews with leading graphic designers who talked about their work and played the music that had inspired and influenced them. Guests included Vaughan Oliver, Kim Hiorthoy, Neville Brody, Malcolm Garrett and writer Rick Poynor.

Graphic Design on the Radio is back with a new series. As before, the shows feature interviews with designers talking and playing music, but from time to time guests join me to discuss the hot topics of the moment, and to look into the key issues that are shaping current design practice – from ethics to branding; from blogs to kerning; from font design to the latest books and shows. Expect contentious contributions from design’s most loquacious (read: opinionated) watchers.

But it’s not all chat: it’s the radio, after all, so it’s an excuse to play lots of music, too.
