Podcast Cover Design And Logo

This is a cover design I made for a new podcast. The podcast consists of Mille Olsen telling stories about different events in her life both good and bad. It’s about the ups and downs she has had in her life, which she intertwines with how life is now. The podcast have some consistent subjects throughout the episodes, such as everyday challenges, guilt, anxiety, hope, self-esteem and love. These are the recurring themes in this nuanced and vibrant podcast about different and honest life experiences, told by Mille Olsen.

Podcast Cover Design And Logo

Mille Olsen had a few wishes for the cover design, she wanted it to be a self-portrait, with her characteristics like the red hair and she wanted it to be colourful. She has a lot on her mind that she wants to share in this podcast and i wanted to reflect that in the illustration by drawing different icons that has different meaning. She talks about important events in her life, that taught her tings she wouldn’t want to be without, so i made the face-expression calm and collected, and somehow hopefull.

It’s about Mille sharing her thoughts and struggles so i made her turn her head to the viewer with a slightly opened mouth like she wants to tell us something. I wanted the feeling of trust and honesty to shine through her eyes, because in the podcast she will talk about topics from relationships, dealing with failure, grief, anxiety, to the trials in her life and healthy friendships. 

I wanted to create a logo aesthetic that was clean and matched the personality in the illustration. I used a simple typography (Hiragino Sans) and I incoporated the sun, as it is one of the central elements in the drawing. The sun is used as a symbol of life and hope.

The style, type and tone, speaks to a safe and optimistic space and a place for all. The target group is youngsters between 15-25. The podcast is an intimate, honest and lively self-biography about being young, so that other young people have someone they can relate to and take comfort in not being the only one struggling in life.

New episodes every day!
