Darhil Crooks is the creative director for The Atlantic. He oversees the art direction of the magazine across print, online, and on mobile and tablet devices. His work has literally graced the covers of some the world’s most popular magazines, including Esquire, Ebony, and The Source.

Our conversation…wow…where to begin? Darhil walked me through a typical day for him at the magazine and we discussed what makes a good magazine cover as well as some of his older work. From there, he spoke on his time at SVA, the fundamentals to his success, the people who inspire him, and what he’s got in store for the future. I’m so glad to be able to share this conversation with you, so sit back and enjoy!

Shannon Washington is a true creative force! Several people that have been on the show have recommended that I talk with her, and after seeing her in this year’s Women’s Freedom Conference, I knew I had to make it happen.

Our conversation started with a simple question: “When did you first fall in love with design?” From there, we talked about her time at Howard University, how she became a creative director, the people who inspire her, and her dream project. Shannon is definitely more than just a creative director, world traveler, and fierce advocate for Black women — she is a creator!

I’ve been a fan of Craig Brimm’s website Kiss My Black Ads for years, so I was really glad to have the chance to interview him for the show! Craig has been in the advertising and design business for nearly 20 years, so he has a great perspective on these industries.

We talked about his start in design here in Atlanta, the ups and downs of working for agencies, and his newest venture — entrepreneurship! This is definitely an interview you’ll want to take notes with while listening because Craig drops a lot of pearls of wisdom. Press play and enjoy!
