PastPresentFuture Podcast artwork

PastPresentFuture brings you recordings from leading designers around the world talking about creative influence, places, practice and ideas. Graphic designers are asked three questions: firstly, can you remember the first piece of graphic design you saw; when and where was this? Secondly, what are you working on right now, and thirdly, do you have any advice for today’s graphic design students? PastPresentFuture was conceived and curated by John Rooney, Malcolm Garrett and John Owens — a Design Manchester production.
