The second series of PastPresentFuture interviews with creatives from around the world launched with musician Johnny Marr, typographic artist Dani Molyneux and celebrated designer Mark Farrow in a first tranche of 12, now available on Spotify.
Listen out for Graham Wood, Stephen Mallinder, Emily Wood, Katy Cowan and six more in the latest collection 2.05.
Curated by John Rooney and Malcolm Garrett, PastPresentFuture invites leading creatives to talk about creative influence, places, practice and ideas. The project was devised at the start of lockdown with the simple idea of asking each person just three questions:
Can you remember the first piece of graphic design you saw; when and where was this?
What are you working on right now?
Do you have any advice for current graphic design students?

The first season of 28 interviews proved so popular that we were inundated with requests from other creatives to add their voices. Season TWO features 54 more interviews, which are being released in fortnightly batches, and will appear on this page when available.
