Wavve Design of the Week
It's cool to see a niche podcast like the DTC Patterns Podcast, which highlights its guest brands and their products, do a great job themselves at design.
I like the layout of the white logos, waveform, and titles over the stylized product image. It looks almost like a magazine I could see in a salon. When the design is well done, it makes me more inclined to click and listen. π
