Re-Design

By -
I don't normally talk about work on here, but I have to boast this job that I did this week. I got the order to do some sold cards for an agent, so I went into her file and got her existing design. This is what it looked like. 


Pretty basic. Though I really have to point out the agent photo on the back, a black turtle neck and black background makes for a pretty awesome floating head... 

Anyways, I don't normally change an agents look, as it is usually their look and it is how clients recognize them. So I made the card and sent her some proofs. She called me back and asked if she could add a house that she had just listed. "We'll have to change the design a bit to fit it, can you do that?" She asked. 

"Yes. Yes I can." 

So I took the phrase 'change the design a bit' to a whole new level and totally re-vamped her design. She ended up calling me back to tell me that she had changed her mind about the second listing, saying that we can just do the old card and that she hoped that I hadn't spent too much time on the other idea. I ask her that I did come up with a nice look, would she like to see it? 

So I send her what I came up with and she calls me back just so excited about the new look!  Here it is, I'm really really happy with it!

Out of the frying pan....

As a relatively self aware person, I’ve always been aware of how lucky I am to have a mother who has a passion for cooking. Growing up we never had a Chicken Tuesday, or Meatloaf Fridays. Other than Sunday dinners, you could never predict what you would be eating the next night. Although you could assume that it was going to be unique, and delicious! Unfortunately, upon reaching university, and subsequently reaching my own tiny share of a kitchen, I discovered a horrible fact. I didn’t know how to cook ANYTHING. It’s not that I didn’t know how the oven worked, or that I couldn’t read a recipe, but when you’re 18, and living on a student budget, you just don’t go out and spring for a spice rack. Not to mention finding recipes that deal in single servings was difficult. So for that time in my life I mostly lived off of pasta dishes and chicken grilled in my own little George Foreman Grill. In recent months I’ve made more of an effort to pay attention to how some of these miracul

Whats Art?

I’ve mentioned on this blog before the topic of street art, and how my opinion of it differs from that of my Dads. Dad believes that any graffiti is bad, because its breaking the law, and how it makes a neighborhood look. I maintain that not all street art is bad, and that even in the case where it is breaking the law it Is still art. I’m not saying that its right, but its still art. And in some cases it can be beautiful, or inspiring. Most of the time it makes me think about what I’m looking at. And today I found out that in the states a museum is hosting the first ever exhibit of street art. “Today, we witnessed history being made. As the very first major U.S. museum exhibition of graffiti and street art, MOCA presented the media preview of Art in the Streets , an epic visual feast you must experience for yourself! Tracing the development of graffiti and street art from the '70s to where it is today, MOCA pulled out all the stops - educating us on the rich history, entertainin

DONE DONE DONE

By -
Last winter, when we had finished all of our classes at college, my classmates and I celebrated being DONE. Not just done classes for the year, but hopefully for a long time. In our program, in the final year, we had one semester of classes, more of a prep for the workplace rather than conventional classes, and then the second semester we were to find placement at a design firm. 14 weeks as an unpaid intern, gaining experience and contacts. But first, we had to find our placements. So though we were done, we were not DONE DONE. Finding a design firm to take on free labor sounds easy, but when you take into account that the studio would have to give up space to put me, time to train me, and patience to guide around a newbie, add in the fact that the economy was out of control…. Needless to say it was very hard. Eventually I found a placement, and along with my friends, we celebrated being DONE DONE! We had placement, the grades, now all we needed was to survive in our internships for 14
