Episode 100: Food Mascots with Kirk + Kurtts
About this episode
What do Betty Crocker, Charlie Tuna, Tony the Tiger and the oddball characters from Off Limits Cereal have in common? Along with fellow creatives Kirk Visola and Andy Kurtts of the “Kirk and Kurtts” design podcast, they were all our drinking buddies one evening!
We chewed the fat with Kirk and Andy about some classic characters and their impact on pop culture (and snacking), and why these same techniques invented decades ago still work today.
Order a Bedrock Fizz for yourself (and maybe a few for all of us). It’s time to join four designers back in the bar.
