Podcast Cover & Intro

Johns Hopkins SAIS Rethinking Iran is a research and academic initiative examining contemporary Iranian politics, society, economics, and foreign policy. The project was to design a podcast cover. The primary goal was to create a podcast cover that would captivate potential listeners and encourage them to explore the initiative's podcast. To achieve this, I utilized Adobe Illustrator to transform the Persian word "Iran" into a unique and visually striking mosaic pattern, seamlessly integrating it with a microphone graphic. This presented the challenge of creating a cover that was both visually distinctive and effectively communicated the essence of the Rethinking Iran initiative. The result was a professionally designed cover that not only enhanced the podcast's visual appeal but also significantly increased listener interest, leading to a notable increase in streams and followers.
