Required Reading
Not sure parents will go Gaga for this kid’s book but
I’m guessing Andrew Kolb didn’t intend for Telephone
to be bedtime reading.

So you do what?
When I decided to major in Graphic Design at the tender age of 15, I didn’t really know what I was getting myself in to. This was evidenced by the crap I produced my first year in art school. My passion for art was there but I didn’t quite know how to make my work look polished. In the end, I stuck with it (after much introspection and debate about other possible majors), made it out of art school alive, and somehow got hired in San Francisco. And now the only problem I run into these days is how do I answer the question “What is Graphic Design”?
It seems simple right but finding a succinct description has not been that easy. In college, a classmate created a Thesis project around that very question and won an award for it. I happened upon this explanation on Design Observer and found it very interesting. Much better than I could do so I’ll end my blah blah there so you can read here.

Happened upon these 10 Redesigned Movie Posters Inspired by Men’s Style done by Moxie Creative and love the idea. They are up for sale and would make awesome gifts. I think the Dumb and Dumber may be my favorite. :)

Tropicana Flashbacks
WTH?
Not sure if anyone has seen the new logo in all it’s (blehhh) glory but here it is. Hope you’re ready for some Tropicana thunder Gap Inc. because the general public is not liking your style.

"So here’s an idea. Design could start to value the idea of the happy, balanced designer. I know. It sounds so wrong. The entire structure of design is against happiness and balance in its practitioners. What would we talk about if we didn’t talk about how tired we were, how overworked, how busy, how stressed?"
LOL. So true, so true….
If you are any kind of designer, read this. It’s good stuff.
