平面设计 grad Marty O'Neill started Drastic Graphics as a small business creating party fliers and mixtape covers in his hometown of Buffalo, NY. 最终, Marty developed his homegrown brand into a body of work that would have global visibility, leading Drastic Graphics to new opportunities in 播客ing, 喜剧之旅, and eventually seeing his graphics on the massive screens outside of New York City's Madison Square Garden.

Building his foundation in branding and design for popular comedy 播客s like 乔·罗根的经历, 马蒂已经开始转移注意力了, turning Drastic Graphics into a full-fledged creative agency, 为客户提供品牌服务, 音视频制作, 以及网页设计服务. 这不是他最初的计划.

“我不想学生产. I had resistance against it as far as just like, I don't have extra money for the this. I don't even have the time or the mental bandwidth to learn all this.但马蒂也为自己设定了一个目标, ”我说, “明年, I'm going to be the biggest videographer in comedy.'"

Now taking the first steps into executive production, Marty's creative agency is currently at work on upcoming 播客s from Black-ish star Anthony Anderson, former Fifth Harmony member Ally Brooke, and popular YouTuber Dope as Yola's 一如既往的毒品 播客.

"[We are] able to offer essentially everything that a good 播客er would need,马蒂说。 on his role on the upcoming shows. “我们可以进来，提供一切, where [the host] can just focus on the content of the show.

"All of my graphic skills are now being used in the context of the bigger scheme,马蒂说。. "It's like I'm not just doing a poster for somebody. It's all the thumbnails, all the web graphics, all the graphics. I feel like that's important for students to recognize that you may set off on one path that you're good at, but it ends up blossoming into all these other skills that really end up taking your career to the next level."

As Marty and the Drastic Graphics brand continue to grow, the grad has been able to further develop his production skillset capturing behind-the-scenes content for social media on Super Bowl commercial shoots for T-Mobile featuring Anthony Anderson and the cast of 的声音. The chance to learn from industry pros has been a highlight for Marty when getting to work BTS on such large-scale productions.

“看灯光部门, how they diffuse the light versus just using a softbox, how they bounce light around and paying attention to how they light each different scene, 室内, 在户外,马蒂说。. "I'm just trying to be mindful of that now that I'm building sets for 播客s."

Marty has been able to continue learning and developing what he and the team at Drastic Graphics can offer clients while building his stellar reputation among some of comedy's biggest acts. The grad was also hired to capture and create social content for 不是体育节目, an upcoming series hosted by comedian Lil' Rel Howery featuring sports legends like Shannon Sharpe, 保罗-皮尔斯, 梅尔文英格拉姆, 和肯尼·史密斯.

The grad is certainly grateful for his time with 满帆 preparing him for a busy and demanding career in the entertainment industry.

"The fact that I could do it online was everything,马蒂说。. "I learned to think and critique academically, which [is a skill] I don't think I would have gotten otherwise."
