I'm dying, just dying, to have a Barcelona chair and ottoman. How gorgeous is this?
SNEAK PEAK
A little sneak peak of my book on the basic terminology of typography. Come to the exhibition in the Krull Gallery at the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne on April 10 to see the rest!
TAPE ON SUNGLASSES? SIGN ME UP!
Too good to be true. Found this via Gizmodo.
What is the worst product idea you've ever heard? Now double it. We're talking about sunglasses that tape on, and yes, they're real.
Starting this spring, hipster-fashion-tape-design-company Azumi & David will sell you sunglasses tape. We'd like to believe that the sticky ribbon is merely intended to spruce up a shirt or a bag, you know, with the treasured facade of casually dangling glasses. We'd like to believe that.
But you know what? At minimum, two poor Azumi & David models are penciling in their eye expressions as we speak.
YES, I WANT IT
Saks Fifth Avenue's spring marketing campaign stopped me dead in my tracks while flipping through my latest issue of GD USA. Gorgeous communist, Cold War era graphics done by THE Shepard Fairey and Cleon Peterson. It rocks my design world.
ISMOKE.ORG
Last semester I was assigned a project intended to test my idea of ethical design. I honestly can't say this project accomplished it's goal, because I had no choice as to whether or not I could accept the project. If I didn't complete it, I didn't get a grade. Nonetheless, my campaign was to promote smoking. I really wanted to stay away from the stereostypical "smoking makes you cool and sexy." My goal was to focus on the campaign and the people in the campaign rather than focus on smoking.
Overall, I was fairly pleased with the end product. Shots of a few of the deliverables below...
THE "SAVE" FOLDER
I've been collecting things to blog about for when I upgrade my version of WordPress, and I'm excited that the day has finally come.
Without futher ado...
DOWN WITH THE WOOD
Like any good designer, I was tired of my website/blog theme the day I launched it. So, almost one year later, I'm proud to give you a sneak peak of the new one.
At the moment, I am absolutely swamped with school projects and work, so I'm hoping to have a complete website up and running by the end of may.
If you enjoyed the wood theme and aren't in the mood for lots of beautiful yellow, here you go.
