Graphic Design isn’t about chasing trends or giving your work away for “exposure.” Scott Fuller, founder of Studio Temporary reveals the lessons he learned the hard way from turning down unpaid internships to creating logos that stand the test of time.

Scott’s story is as raw as it gets. From graduating as a valedictorian with an engineering scholarship, to walking away from stability for a future in graphic design, to nearly losing everything, eviction notices, dead-end jobs, rejection, his path to building The Studio Temporary and the time ESPN tried to take his work without credit...spoiler, he stood his ground, and that decision led him to designing for the Atlanta Hawks. Scotts story is a masterclass in resilience.

In this episode of The Angry Designer Podcast, we get real about what it takes to survive and thrive as a designer in a chaotic industry.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why style without substance kills your work (and your career)
• The truth about unpaid internships and “exposure” gigs
• How to build logos and brands that actually last

Whether you’re a freelance designer, agency owner, or in-house creative, this conversation will make you rethink how you approach your work and why designers must demand more respect for their craft.

Cracker Barrel spent $700 million on a rebrand… and within a week, they had to run back to their old logo. Designers, this isn’t just a logo fail, it’s a brand disaster! It proves how dangerous it is when companies confuse modernization with progress.

Here’s the part that should sting: most graphic designers would have made the exact same mistake. Why? Because too many of us still think rebrands are about logos, not the bigger story brands are built on.

In this episode of The Angry Designer Podcast, we break down exactly what went wrong with Cracker Barrel’s rebrand and the lessons every designer needs to hear.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why Cracker Barrel’s rebrand backlash proves logos aren’t the problem — branding is
• The 10 WORST times to update an old logo (and how to avoid the same mistake)
• How to tell if your rebrand should be an evolution… not a full-blown identity crisis

This isn’t about Cracker Barrel, it’s about you. Because if you think “design” alone is enough, you’re already on the wrong side of branding.

Bad logo design is everywhere. From stretched fonts to unreadable colors, from stolen stock icons to AI disasters, the world is flooded with logos that should never have seen the light of day.

But here’s the kicker: these aren’t accidents. They follow patterns. And if you’re not careful, you could be making the exact same mistakes without realizing it.

In this episode of The Angry Designer Podcast, we flip the script with a sarcastic “MasterClass” on how to create the world’s worst logo. It’s a roast, it’s a lesson, and it’s the kind of reality check every graphic designer needs to avoid being the punchline in someone else's roast.

In this episode, you'll discover

• The most common mistakes behind bad logo design
• How to spot (and avoid) the patterns that ruin logos
• Why good designers sometimes still fall into bad habits

Whether you’re a seasoned creative or just starting your graphic design career, this episode will help you see logo design disasters for what they are, and make sure you’re never the one creating them.
