Whiteboard

Social Identifiers and social design trends are a big part of what I do, these are already finding their way into my blog and will have a place here in the coming future.

A pulse on design trends, usability/design/graphic quotes, amazing photography, and links to keep everyone busy, plus a few songs that are currently stuck on repeat.

This is getting to be a bit Apple focused and iPhone crazy. If you can't tell I love tech gadgets and the iPhone is my gadget of choice. I will be building an Apple gadget specific website soon so this area will be free'd up for more design related topics.

Sweet! I love the thin type and the magical space that is created. Nice Work!

Richard Perez makes some really great work. I was going to say pieces of work, but come on let’s not kid around. All of his work is pretty much the shit. I love the negative space in this one.  I will certainly be looking and posting more of his work. So colorful and kick ass. Thanks to my friends for having great taste.  FLICKR: http://www.flickr.com/people/amobeaeightyfour/ TUMBLR: http://skinnyships.tumblr.com/

Nice stationary brand set from Sarah. I like the bookmark piece and the back of the cover letter. The shoe diagram kicks ass. 

Great work by Sarah Taylor, a student at Capilano University. I love the logo and the illustraions. Really well done!

The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over the Lazy Dog - Cards. A typeface memory game, designed by ps.2 in collaboration with BIS Publishers from the Netherlands. “A typeface memory game. With twenty-five pairs of cards, each presenting a different type family, this is a very stylish and interesting typographic concentration game. The kit includes a typographical glossary with the main terms used in typography as well as a text about the evolution of type design, locating in history each one of the fonts used in the game.” The game is available on Amazon.com

This is a really cool example of a stationary system. Nice use of color and materials, but a more interesting use of photography as a branding element. As a photographer it totally makes sense. The graphic distortion of his images is very daring for a photographer. The photographers I know would die. Their images are these precious things, some type of truth, this guy obviously doesn’t hold his images too some godly standard. 

I think he is interested in the impact of his images and understands that there is value in distorting his work to become more impactful.

I really wanted to do this with the large armored figured from the Lord of the Rings. Think about that, just walking up to a huge ancient figure in the ground. Crazy! I know, I thought of this tens years ago.

I like the idea, it’s just hard to wrap our heads around this. LINK: http://visual.ly/what-colors-mean-different-cultures

Love this extra Star Wars stuff. If you find it send it my way. 

I think that “Where the Wild Things” was my favorite book. It was the first book that I remember. As a young boy it have quite an impression on me to go live a life of adventure, but be thankful that you have a home to come back to. Maurice Sendak is a pretty interesting personality, but if your an artist, check out his video on life and death. If you create you will totally understand where he is coming from: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U68bZbMM7q8&feature=related LINK to ART: http://matthewart.deviantart.com/art/Where-the-Wild-Things-Are-138084082

I wish students in MIAD’s Visual Resources Dept would knock out work like this for the good of the group. Without a standout poster soon, I just might have to give up.

This is a perfect counter to Apples galaxy themed interface. If Microsoft wanted to win it has to start thinking about their interface components. I know they have office and that in general business runs on the office suite. But lets face it, there’s nothing sweet about the Office suite. 

9-bits: Verge forum user, Sputnik8, has posted a series of gorgeous UI concepts showing a Metro-inspired Windows desktop. I’d be reaching out to this guy in a heartbeat if I were Microsoft.

I took these photos so I have to be somewhat bias. The process of creating this painting has been so fun. I can’t wait to help out and create Summer’s first full children’s book, The Ghost on the Stairs.
