8th Element Podcast
8th Element Podcast is a show hosted by three long-time bhakti yogis who analyze current events and geopolitics through a Vedic wisdom lens. The name references oxygen — the 8th element — as a metaphor for life-giving, truth-seeking information.
JG Graphic was commissioned to design and develop a full WordPress website that matched the podcast’s unique identity: cosmic, spiritual, and intellectually serious.
🧩 What I Did
- Full WordPress build — developed on Blocksy theme with Elementor for a fully custom layout

- YouTube integration — episode section pulls thumbnail previews directly from YouTube for each episode
- WooCommerce store — set up the Store section for merchandise and digital products
- Newsletter signup — configured email capture form for weekly truth-seeking intel

🧠 What I Learned
This project pushed me to work with a highly specific brand identity — the cosmic, spiritual aesthetic required careful attention to typography, spacing, and visual hierarchy. I also learned to integrate YouTube thumbnails dynamically and configure WooCommerce from scratch for a content-based brand.
