Recently one of my guests, Yuko Shimizu, mentioned, that artwork works much better for her on social media than her face or photos of people in general, so I might also ask for some work examples to be included in addition. Kirby gives me the flexibility to create the perfectly fitting administration area for my Stay Curious events I use Kirby and with that it was super easy to create a customised admin area for the Stay Curious shows. ![]() Kirby – the CMS I useĪs soon as I have confirmed a guest, we find a date and a topic, I collect their details (a photo, their links, a short bio, title and description of their talk) and then I add it to my website as a draft. I think in general anyone has an interesting and often motivating story to tell, if you listen to them. I have no specific order of who I want to invite or what topic should be covered next, though I like to have an eye on a balanced line-up with a good range of personalities and topics. There might be an interesting conversation about tones and values and the naked use of black and white as a way communicating more directly. I’m happy with any of these, but the black/white option seems perhaps the most interesting as we both work in color more often than not, but all created from black and white underpinnings. Sometimes when I speak to my invitees, someone even comes up with a fitting explanation after we picked a name for the show. ![]() I don’t put too much importance on this theme, though I try to somehow find something that fits my guests work, character or topics. Next to this I write down a few “themes”, which I like to pick to title each show, to not simply number them “Stay Curious #1” and so on. I use Evernote to organise, when I sent an email to someone, for which date I asked people and who might be a good fit as second guest, if I don’t have a matching pair in my mind from the beginning. If you have a look at the past Stay Curious shows, you’ll find a great variety of designers and developers from all over the world who have been my guests so far. Hence the name of the online series: Stay Curious. Like with my beyond tellerrand events, I am not having a specific focus on a certain technology or genre, but love to chat about creativity, technology, design and all sorts of things that inspire us, with people that are highly inspiring and motivating. One every two weeks with two guests (or more sometimes) and live music each.
