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.

Emotional Response

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

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.

One week with Milton Glaser

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

He is known for the famous I ♥ NY logo and for Pushpin Studios.

i hate when i have great ideas but forget to write them down.

From the way things are going this will be a random blog but hopefully also a blog not just about me but about you. yes, you the audience.

Too many blogs are about the blogger and not enough is focused on the readers. Much like an job interview, the interviewer is just as important as the interviewee. I will try my best to keep this as entertaining as i can for your enjoyment.

Whether its today tomorrow or years from now. eventually all time capsules get found.
