good music is so much better when it has good cover design.

Good place to stop for tonight.  Poster design in progress for a project that started as a logo design.

Project will probably also include a record or cd with a music mix, a brochure, magazine covers , stickers and some other promotional stuff. . Influences: Vampire Weekend and Ra Ra Riot. fixed gear bikes. Good night!

Can’t get enough of Discovery.  I’ve had it on repeat all day.

Recently got a package from SF writer and designer, Nate One. Back in the early 90’s I photographed one of his pieces at Psycho City and recently sent it to him. He hooked me up with some dope t-shirts, promotional postcards and a hand written letter on his very own letterhead. To show my appreciation I have selected a stack of old school graffiti flicks taken in SF during the same time, to send him.

Here is the link to his shop where you can get some cool hip hop gear. Check it out! there is something there for everyone, even the kiddies.

I have been designing  a few things lately. Here are some logos I recently finished and a save the date.

i just reformatted my computer and forgot to save my bookmarks for firefox. some how i though they were saved on d: drive. sigh. i know i tend to horde all types of bookmarks; some i never even revisit. However, now i feel like i need them to feel complete. this is gonna take a while to get over. it silly actually. i know by heart all the important urls i need and frequently visit yet i am heartbroken by my act of carelessness. maybe its a sign to move away from the computer and and to not be so dependent. honestly i cant think of a single url that I really need that i cant rememeber

I had quite a collection of bookmarks though. so many design sights for references. tons of tutorials, blogs, and sites for downloading textures, patterns and images.

i guess ill have to start rebuilding my bookmarks again. when did i get so dependent on my computer?

Well im over my book mark issue and as a bonus i have sucessfully added CS3 one more install left (itunes) and im good as new. new project for tomorrow, PASTE BOOKS!! Here is THE BEAST as inspiration. ENJOY!  Is there a way to do drop caps in wordpress?

How cool is this?

Would be great for making business cards or invitations. Here is the full link to the site.

Been working on a save the date for my cousin’s wedding. In doing so, I have been listening to a lot of slow jams and wedding music for this project. I have also been doing research on all types of wedding designs and invitations. Abbie at Passing Notes has been a big influence. i think her concepts are also great. I contacted her in the fall to see if she had any internships open. i think i would of had better luck if i waited till the spring or summer.

After reading an interview on Stefan Sagmeister, I wanted to try and create a design that is more emotion-based rather than idea-base. That means less work for me on the concept and more on the overall design.

“Idea-based work tends to be jokey or witty, which likely
becomes a drag once you get it.”

Can I adjust the leading on that quote? I  wanted to test how pull quotes were made in Wordpress. Anyways, back to designing.

He teaches at the School of Visual Art in NYC. For $2,000.00 you can spend a week in his workshop class.
