I was browsing typographic posters and i found this one which goes along with our advocacy theme and i think is really well designed. It gets the point across using a limited color palette and only type.

afterthought

i just saw my comments for my project, i guess  didn't do as good as i had thought, details i need to pay more attention to the minor details, and just do better and be better. My craft is improving. Its almost over the end is near. As always i wish there was more time and money

Finally Final

The lessig thing was supposed to be this video i made on the side called xtranormal.com basically i watched lessig, he said a lot of interesting things which i didn't necessarily agree with or disagree with but if what he says is true it being a less and less read only worlds then our job as designers becomes more and more important

As a reflection. This year especially these past couple weeks i have been working my ass off. In the end i think it has paid off and i can finally say i feel confident in the next couple years as a designer. There is a lot of work ahead of me but i know i can do it.  I am definitely proud of the exhibit work i did i think that is what proved it to me and i hope to you guys too.  Andrea said something to me while i was working on my spread to make my text columns on my second page just columns instead of notches to "make it easier on me." This wasn't offended but i didn't want to take the easy way out i wanted to solve the type problem in my original concept and prove that i could do it.  I know i have to work a little bit harder to keep up but i hope that by continuing to challenge myself in design. (in the packaging problem making it on such a big scale, in our exhibit choosing someone off the list, in the type animation picking something that was already a song, i feel i only half succeeded at solving this but i have figured out a way i could have done it better) Trying to find a balance between work and school and life in general, trying to stay sane. Discovering how i work best and my process seeming to make everything as difficult as possible is something i am trying to work on not doing anymore.  Gaining confidence and enjoying getting closer and closer to the people in my class are all things i am looking forward too. Goals i have are trying to make more progress in between classes and using my peers as more of a resource i learned how valuable this is during my poster making (cat, chris and michael, thanks guys) and wished i had learned this earlier Thank you Andrea for staying encouraging and helping my work on weaknesses while helping me improve my strengths.

good idea

this is a chair designed by Tokujin Yoshioka, pretty interesting i think.

here is a really good example of a company called Moroso site.  

Since 1952 MOROSO has been designing its sofas, armchairs and accessories with wellknown designers such as Ron Arad, Carlo Colombo, Enrico Franzolini, Marc Newson, Toshiyuki Kita and Patricia Urquiola. MOROSO has been constructing its sofas and armchairs aiming at top quality.

Check this type video out it, i think it may be one of my favorites i have seen yet.
