James Barnard on Turning Graphic Design Tutorials Into Authority

48:26

Most Graphic Designers think the way to get noticed is by chasing likes, posting tutorials, or following design formulas. But James Barnard has lived both sides...the viral design influencer and the working designer. And he’s here to tell you the hard truth: clout doesn’t pay your bills, legacy client work does.

In this Live from Creative South episode of The Angry Designer Podcast, we sit down with James Barnard to talk about the future of design careers, how to win client trust, and why presenting logos is more about storytelling than style.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • Why follower count means nothing without engagement or authority
  • How to present and defend your logos so clients can’t say no
  • Why your last impression with a client may matter more than your first

This isn’t theory. This is the real-world playbook from one of design’s most trusted voices. Lessons every designer can use to turn influence into income, and content into credibility.
