I have spend the past 24 hours in the CMC and this is my first part of the project. FYI.... you have to do a low quality to get any amount onto you tube. I am not sure the best way to go about getting the final version of all of it up. when i figure it out i will let you know!

Our NEXT project

2007-11-04T11:15:00.000-08:00

As stan mentioned.... we need to know flash and/or after effects ASAP.

I have been spending lots of time at border reading and self teaching this to myself a little more.

this book has a whole chapter about what we are going to be doing (or to do what stan has posted on his blog)

SC state fair

2007-10-28T15:30:00.000-07:00

Last weekend i went to the SC state fair. At the fair there is an art exhibit. there are student / armature / and professional groupings. This is a paint from the professional...not so profession, i say.

I have gotten hooked.

2007-10-28T12:39:00.001-07:00

so i started looking for more and more of these. I like this one cause i love Family Guy, and the fact the each person corresponds to a typeface and color.

Another type video

2007-10-28T12:34:00.000-07:00

this is something that i found after watching the ones that Stan posted. I am sure most of you have heard this Dane Cook skit.... so a little visual.

weak blog

2007-10-07T12:20:00.000-07:00

this weak my blog is a little weak. i have been doing a lot of reading over the theory of design and information arch. i have picked this book up and it has given me new perspective about design and user interactions.

seventy-nine short essays on design - michael bierut

I have also read the whole book that jon recommened about information arch.

outside of my norm.

2007-10-04T20:19:00.001-07:00

I am doing something i do not do enough of, read. It is seldom that i sit down and open a book. I have been doing lots of internal think and research about design and structure. Jon turned me onto a hand full of books and i picked them up. Dry material, but i can not put them down.
will post titles later.

a little word about our boards

2007-09-30T17:39:00.001-07:00

okay... so i know that we are in the program and we all have done boards before. But, today i was walking by the case located on the first floor and was a little perplexed by some of the boards. I just wanted to give my little tricks to everyone. I know that i do not have amazing boards, but it still can't hurt to offer up some tips. The biggest thing that i noticed was how many boards are curving, why is this. I have found that if you spray both the board and she sheet of paper and then let it dry (somewhat) and tack up and then put them together that the board will not curve b/c there is not as much trapped moisture. Also, i have noticed that are a hand full of board that the paper is already peeling off.... same solution.
I just think that by us having boards that are not up to par, that we are giving off a false or inaccurate image of what the quality of the program is and should be.

I collect flyers around the city and campus. I dont collect them because i like them or hate them. I collect then to pin up and remind me of what i can or should be doing and what i cant and should not be doing...
here are some that i picked up this week.

This is something that i think is "fresh"... i think that there are some cool things about it.

Stan as a young designer??

Great! new CS3 features

2007-09-15T09:37:00.000-07:00

THIS IS AMAZING.....

all last year we could not find an easy way to center an object on the page itself. maybe this is a lack of knowledge, but i really think it's a lack of the program... but now you can align stuff to the artboard!! thats right vertical and horizontal to the page itself.

Ask if you don't know how to do it, i will help you out.

Boarders

2007-09-14T22:23:00.000-07:00

so tonight i spent the evening at boarders on ponce. i did a lot of reading in the design books at the store. i was rather impressed with the selection of books that they have. there was a series of books on cds, dvd and magazines. (mag-art, dvd-art, and cd art)... it covered amazing formates and layouts of magazines. it was great motivation for jeffs class. I also found wonderful books about logo development, not just a collection of logos, it covered case studies about clients and logos. "design research" a profession that i would love to involve myself in.

also graphic 11 is out and amazing. great mag, pick it up and read it... dont buy, $30 for a mag, come on college kids dont have that... that equates to 2 printer cartridges. good lord

stranger than fiction

2007-09-13T20:38:00.000-07:00

have you ever watched the movies stranger than fiction??
i have. and i just watched it again. not the best movie (theme, plot and acting...)BUT

amazing type overlays and animations while the movie is playing... its is great. there are also good line animations, among other additives.. check it out.

look at that compression

Some EGW logo workup ideas

2007-09-05T07:07:00.001-07:00

i think that this concept is very urban... dont think it works well as a logo?!?

Favorite Logo

2007-08-31T21:59:00.000-07:00

I was rummaging thorugh some of my old stuff this past weekend. I found a sticker of a climbing company that i was a fan of. I also remembered why i kept this sticker, I was a HUGE fan of the logo.

Company name 5 - 10.. the logo has both of the numbers in it while only being one symbol. great.

ALSO....
I think that the people who produce the Blue toilet bowl puck thingies, cleaners, are teamed up with bottled water companies... why else would you want a blue toilet water unless you were dehydrated and went to use the bath room and then the water turned green. it is something that you dont think about till it happens and you are kinda excited on the inside.

Ideas for shirts

2007-08-29T20:47:00.000-07:00

I am a big fan of graphics that are on t-shirts and what masses are purchasing. This is a website that is user based that people submit design that have the ability to get published. Some good stuff and some bad stuff.

Take a look....

stupid t-shirt ideas

2007-08-29T20:38:00.000-07:00

I sometimes work at American Eagle because I have a friend that is a store manager and sometimes needs a little help. Every once and a while I find grpahic t's that I love... and sometimes I find some really shitty one..
this one is one that i found that falls into the really shitty one.. what is going on?

American Eagle

it seems like a stupid idea that is poorly executed.

Design... never been this hard

2007-08-22T22:07:00.001-07:00

This is a first for me....
i am trying to custmize this blog site.. i do not like templates, yet i do am not sure what i am doing. i have not had expierence with this web posting / blog stuff. i am trying to struggle through it. drives me kinda crazy that the youngins are whipping this stuff out left and right. we will see how it all turns out.
