This is 1-800-SAD-DZGN. Your creative hotline with Ayden Lindsay and Ty Yamamoto In the first episode of Season 2, Episode 23, "Ctrl + Alt + Return," Ayden and Ty are officially back after a summer of much-needed rest and adventure. They catch up on everything from summer activities to new creative projects and even new jobs, sharing how those experiences have shaped their outlook going into this season. It’s a fresh start, a reset, and time for another round of design talks, tangents, and laughs. For our "SAD to RAD" segment we discussed Ty’s new personal brand “Bento.” We also reviewed last week’s Font of the Week, Forma DJR Display, and announced our next font pick, Warbler, available on Adobe .
