INSPIRATION #2

Beautiful video. I love the concept and the execution of the stop-motion. I particularly love the moments with the scarf and when she starts leaping from "cloud" to "cloud".

Old Typeface. New Discovery.

So I found this old project from experimental type where I made a modular typeface. At the time, we only had to make it in illustrator. Since I just discovered Fontstruct I thought I would turn it into an actual typeface. The program is a little confining (I couldn't adjust the gap within the letters based on the letter or size of the font among other issues) but it was fun to play around with it.

NOTE: I'm not sure what the mysterious dot is over the "Z" and I couldn't get rid of it. It doesn't show up when you use the font.

Inspiration #1

So I've decided that since I haven't been producing much of value lately, I would post some sources of inspiration. I generally go through phases where I write down a bunch of ideas and just absorb new experiences in order to "jolt" my creativity. What usually ends up happening is that I get overwhelmed with new ideas and then it takes a little while before they manifest into projects. Since I'm in one of these gathering phases right now, I will try and post some of the sources of inspiration.

I love watching the old cartoons, home movies and commercials.

Interviews

I have to say that despite how nerve-wracking they may be, I really do like to go to interviews, which is good since that is all I have been doing lately. I like to see what kinds of questions different firms ask and what their offices are like. The traveling is nice too. What is your favorite question to ask interviewees?

I have an interview tomorrow in Brooklyn so wish me luck!

Back in Business

So the lack of posting since I created this blog was due to complications with my website (i.e. I strongly dislike IE. It just can't understand code like Firefox and Safari can). Anyways, since this is a blog to document my process, you can check out my brand spankin' newly coded website, complete with newly documented work to see what I've been working on for the past few weeks. In looking at my portfolio, I found some work that I decided I want to redesign. I feel like a second round would really make the difference and  could be lots of fun. I will be posting sketches and such from this "new" project in the next couple of days along with some work on my business cards-to-be. 

oh, right. The picture...my dad made a friend in the back yard and decided to feed him. Apparently bunnies don't like the weird stringy lettuce that comes in the Arugala Blend either.
