Next time you or your company is hiring creatives take a look at this: blackswho.design || please add to this list.
Relevance isn’t about showing up everywhere. It’s about knowing exactly where you have the right to show up and making it count.
Year of BRAT
“It needed to be something that couldn’t really be associated with anything else.” The designer Brent David Freaney considered around 500 different shades of green for the album cover of Charli XCX’s “Brat.”
Here’s how the design came to life: nyti.ms/4dg36cg
Loving NBC’s coverage of the #Olympics this year. Really have taken everything to new heights. Content discovery is great and multiview playlists are well executed. Great job to the @NBCUniversal and @peacock team.
Incredible.
The Taylor Swift Era’s tour is a global phenomenon but I don’t think many people realize the economic, physical, and artistic feat these shows really are:
- The show is 3hrs and 25 minutes long.
- Each concert is 44 songs, divided into 10 acts that portray each of her albums.
- Taylor wears 40 different outfits each night.
- It’s rumored to have cost upwards of $100m to produce.
- It is on track to gross more than $1B, the biggest in concert history.
Like this thing is top tier theatrics.
Had the chance to see #Barbie last night. I won't spoil it but what I will share is that @Barbie is directed by Greta Gerwig - if you don't know her, make sure she is on your radar.
The movie is a refreshing and intelligent collaboration that delivers empowerment and creativity in a compact package. With sharp writing, stunning animation, and a captivating narrative, this film challenges norms and inspires audiences of all ages.
It's truly a triumph of storytelling and artistic vision that leaves a lasting impact.
Take your children to go see it.
Culture is built by how we show up, every day.
Set your culture, then build around it.
Team all day.

Designers have reached out to me and asked for advice on how to thrive during these hard times.
Look across your company and connect strengths and competitive advantage into new products that help the bottom line and resonate with consumers. This works in times of boom and bust.

How we feel is linked to what and how we think. Thoughts influences emotions and emotions influences thinking. Good reminder to lead with gratitude.
Never compromise your vision
Pursue Quality over quantity
Everything is important -Dr. Dre #thegrammys2023
This years #Grammys2023 is one of the best I've ever seen. Well done to the production, programming and stage design. Nailed it.
The tribute to 50 years of hip hop.
I am speechless. All the bangers and the greatest artists of all time on stage performing.
Oscars take note.
