Magazine, podcast & creative community 👀
Inspiring creatives in art & design since 2009
Proudly run by @katylcowan
11am. Tuesday. Quince rakia. 🥃 👀
Meet Filip and Vicente, some of the brilliant creatives behind Afternow (@afternow.co) [ad] – the agency formerly known as BB Agency (and before that, Balkan Brothers) – taking a shot before taking us through 13 years, a 2.5-year secret rebrand, and why a name that worked for a decade finally had to go.
Full interview live now. Link via the usual. We'd love to hear what you think. Thanks for chatting with us. Loved hearing your story.

“History will point the way, if you let it.” 👀
A powerful reminder from Dom Bailey of Baxter & Bailey that heritage only matters if we’re willing to listen, learn and pay attention to what came before us.
The past can teach us a lot. About creativity. About people. About the mistakes we don’t want to repeat.
Thanks, Dom, for bringing such thoughtfulness to our Northern Design Festival x Creative Boom collaboration. 👏

There was something that graphic artist and illustrator Jimmy Turrell said on The Creative Boom Podcast that really stayed with us. 👀
“Everything seeps into the membrane eventually. Music, films, travelling, weird people you meet, random conversations… all of it feeds into the work somehow.”
We talked about AI, creativity, graphic design, originality and how easy it’s become to generate images instantly. But Jimmy made such a good point about growing up before algorithms shaped everything. Back then, if you wanted inspiration, references or new creative influences, you had to properly go out and search for them. You had to do the graft.
This episode is really about creativity beyond the screen. Taste. Curiosity. Life experience. The strange little moments that shape creative work without you even realising it at the time.
You can listen now, wherever you get your podcasts. Cheers @jimmyturrell – you legend!

Creatives! 👀 What’s something you’ve completely changed your mind about?
We asked a handful of speakers from this year’s Birmingham Design Festival (@designfestbrum), and their answers honestly stopped us in our tracks.
From self-doubt and success to stability, belonging and learning to adapt, these confessions are a reminder that change rarely arrives neatly wrapped. Sometimes it’s uncomfortable. Or maybe liberating. Perhaps both at once.
Featuring:
⭐ Kaye Symington @newspaperclub
⭐ Graeme McGowan @thisisjamhot
⭐ Yukai Du @yukai_du
⭐ Pentagram @samarmaakaroun
⭐ Sachini Imbuldeniya @hoodares
Birmingham Design Festival’s theme this year is Change, so we can’t think of a better question to ask right now.
Which hit home for you most? 👀 What have you changed your mind about? We'd love to hear 👇

Thank you to everyone who joined myself and Emily O'Brien @folly_creative last night at Hop Hideout for the Creative Boom IRL Sheffield social!
It was a really busy one and a lovely atmosphere catching up with lots of familiar and new faces ☺️
Thank you @howiehowe and @bushcraft_studio for capturing these lovely shots!
We're having a bit of a summer holiday for the next few months, but we'll be back in September for a post-summer catch-up ❤️

Jo Iijima designs with what he calls “a sense of imperfection that feels alive”. 👀
Now based in NYC, the Japanese designer pulls inspiration from Tokyo, Hong Kong, Vienna, Toronto and LA, blending analogue textures, neon typography and cosmic energy into work that feels unmistakably human.
We spoke to Jo about finding his voice, embracing rawness in the age of AI, and why design should always leave room for surprise.

Artists and designers! “Preservation + observation = progress.” 👀
Matt Baxter (@mattbaxter) of Baxter & Bailey (@baxterandbailey.co.uk ) on why heritage shouldn’t just be protected for nostalgia’s sake... It should help shape where we creatives go next.
The best creative progress often comes from understanding what already exists, questioning it, and building on it with care.
Thanks, Matt, for being part of our Northern Design Festival x Creative Boom poster series. 💙 And for bringing the comedy gold, as always.

What happens when you look at ordinary objects a little differently? 👀
Korean illustrator Jiyung Lee (@jiyungleee) transforms everyday items into beautifully organised compositions that sit somewhere between a field guide, a supermarket flyer and a piece of graphic poetry.
From croissants and teapots to insects and coffee cups, each illustration feels methodical, tactile and oddly comforting. We’re obsessed. 👀

What happens when you look at ordinary objects a little differently? 👀
Korean illustrator Jiyung Lee (@jiyungleee) transforms everyday items into beautifully organised compositions that sit somewhere between a field guide, a supermarket flyer and a piece of graphic poetry.
From croissants and teapots to insects and coffee cups, each illustration feels methodical, tactile and oddly comforting. We’re obsessed. 👀

“You can have all the evidence in the world… but if nobody has access to it, it means nothing.” 👀
This really stopped us in our tracks.
In this week’s podcast, James Martin (@made.by.james) talks about the difference between evidence, proof and trust, and why visibility isn’t about shouting the loudest online... It’s about helping people actually see the work, the thinking and the value behind what you do.
“Proof” can be a case study, a testimonial, a post, or a story... even a moment of honesty.
Not performance. Or pretending. Just making your work visible enough for trust to grow.
Such a refreshing conversation about personal branding, confidence, comparison culture and the pressure to constantly “show up” online 👀

Another powerful contribution to our Northern Design Festival x Creative Boom poster collaboration. This one comes from the brilliant Oli Bentley, reflecting on heritage, identity, power, and the stories we inherit, whether we choose them or not.
Because heritage isn’t neutral. It shapes how we see ourselves, who feels included, and whose stories get carried forward.
Big thoughts. Few words. That’s the challenge with Boom Truths 👀
Much love to @split_design and @northerndesignfestival for the collab.
