Refined!

Oil & water don’t mix, taking silkscreen print to another level!
revitaliseimagination:
Anthony Burrill + Happiness Brussels created a screen-print using oil from the BP spill earlier this year. These posters are such a simple idea but because of the material used to create them, they stand for so much. Not only that, but all money made from the sale of these posters go...

Life Marathon
Well tomorrow (today now I guess) is a marathon of the show ‘Life’ on the Discovery Channel. I have not had a chance to catch it so far so it will be nice to have a chance to see it. I just wish it was the David Attenborough version. Not that I don’t like Oprah, I just really like Attenborough’s voice. He is definitely one of the best narrators ever.

A Look into Michael Bierut's Portfolio →

I couldn’t find anything that didn’t have poor typeography, bad graphic forms, or a predictable...

Rethinking who I am as a Designer . . .
Tonight I start the long and tedious process of updating all of my ‘stuff’ (website, portfolio, resume, business cards, leave behinds ect…) for my upcoming attempt at moving to the big apple. Since I have to redo some stuff anyway I figure why not give the whole ‘look’ a face life. So now I have to decide how should I represent myself as a designer. And furthermore...
New York Bound?
Well, I have gone round and round and I’m back to the same conclusion that I had come to in April—I need to move to New York. Let me explain: I have been here in Kalamazoo since I graduated working a Design job in a small Studio in Battle Creek. My girlfriend started to attend F.I.T. in NYC in the fall and she didn’t know what she wanted to do when she graduates in May. So I was...
