Podcast Design Brief
I have a design in mind. I do not like the border lines. Feel free to improve on the design. I faded myself out in hopes to decrease border intensity, but blurred or gradient out the borders would be even better.
The concept is that as a physician I am opening up the platform to patients to call in and discuss health tops. Hence thats why the mic is actually backwards. because they are talking to. me and I am responding. If you can bring that concept to life better, I am ok with modifications. I will send my pic separately as well as a couple other images.
