My last Blog entry

I may not be the best student. But I do feel like I have learned a lot. I am very stubborn to get into a rhythm sometimes. But overall I believe the class was successful.

It was interesting to learn about the past in graphic design (mainly print), but it can get a little dry. I think part of that reason is I've found a greater interest when design meets with technology and people.

The idea that we can make designs that can interact is stunning, in a way design hits emotion when it comes to all of our senses sight (of course), hearing (example. movies), smell (advertisements with perfume samples), touch (material counts!), and maybe taste....but we can tell what in good taste and bad taste in design (it's more of a feeling). But now we are coming on to something that may very well be considered a sixth sense, which is interaction. And could possibly explode all of our senses out of the water.

Interactive design will link many bridges and fill lots of gaps in the industry to work with others, provide stable work, and opportunities for those who tap into it first.

We're always on a learning staircase of improving, I feel like it's time to shoot up a couple flights and hope for all the hard work we can coast along to a nice path of oblivion.

So think somewhat out of your realm of comfortability and get ahead a few stairs when your young and still full of fresh ideas. You will later have, taxes, work, relationships, and babies consuming your time for creativity later.

good luck!

Title design and commercial spots are their specialty.

Because Max and anyone that works in advertising and commercial work really makes me appreciate this quote.


"The thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative and ambitious young people, leaving us mainly with the slow and self-obsessed to become our artist. Modern art is a disaster area Never in the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so little."
~ Banksy

Better change over to graphic design all you fine artist majors!

the Image says, " Marcel Duchamp is a big French Hag"

I just love the guy

Wayne White is more becoming a hero of mine.

From his great typography and to what he has to say.

"I fucking love the world...because I am going to miss it when it's gone."

Just thinking about that quote since yesterday was the anniversary of the tragic BP spill.
