Friday Design – Too Tired To Scan Work Edition
Saturday, March 21st, 2009
It’s late. I wanted to get this post up before, but it’s been a busy week and I haven’t had time to focus on much other than work. My personal graphic design has flagged a bit. So, I’ll be posting something a little more entertaining next week…till then, you get some inspiring links.

(Belated) Friday Design Post
Tuesday, March 17th, 2009
I wanted to post this Friday, but…didn’t.
But here I am! And I’ll have more on Friday.
This is just a little thing I did more for myself than anything. A friend started a playlist group on Facebook, where you upload a playlist and DIY album art for your friends to download. (more…)

More to-do goodness
Friday, March 6th, 2009
I said I’d post something Friday. This isn’t what I had in mind, but I was sick all week and decided to sleep instead of design. As a result my thing that I was going to post isn’t ready.
But I still doodle like crazy on to-do lists. This is a recipe I’ve wanted to try for awhile.
Man, being sick and malnourished leads to shaky hands. That is some lumpy lettering. And the ornaments are all outta whack. I would be able to comfort myself in the ideal that the whole crooked, hand-drawn look is sort of all the rage these days, but that’s not really my thing; this isn’t entirely on purpose, so I think it sucks.

On being burned out
Thursday, January 29th, 2009
Recently, I participated in a live video chat with Eric Terry of Linty Fresh. Eric’s brand is growing rapidly; in the last few weeks, he’s started a web chat wherein he answers questions for other folks interested in doing what he’s doing. Some people had questions about his website and SEO specifically; he mentioned my name, and a lot of his viewers expressed interest in having me on.
He asked me if I could participate in his next chat and I agreed, and it was a lot of fun. It was interesting to field questions from people genuinely curious about how to improve their websites.
There were some technical difficulties, though, and some questions got cut off mid-answer; one in particular had to do with being burned out with client work.

Remembering high school dreams.
Saturday, January 24th, 2009
It has recently been brought to my attention that I had goals in high school.
The reason I chose graphic design as a profession in school, besides loving it, is that it would allow me to work, ideally, in music. Somehow, in some way, connected to the music industry. I’m no musician, but I’ve always loved album art and concert posters, and I’ve always had an intense love for music–in fact, I rarely do much of anything without it. So it made sense to me, in high school, to aspire to be a graphic designer who worked for musicians and labels. I would love to be the man behind that beautiful concert poster you wanted to take off of the wall at that bar or small venue because you instantly adore it. (more…)
