Before & After, & Hat

This is what I did to my bathroom today, completely redecorated- well for people who saw it, they will see a difference.

Because my biggest inspiration is designspongeonline.

The new look is warm, hopefully it will create some warmth for the upcoming months. Other than that, I have knitted a new hat for a friend.

Rss Obcession Websites

I love Rss Readers because all my feeds come into one place. For months, I have been using Google Reader. I have selected a very long list of sites to keep up with (and may not necessarily read them all). My favorite are those that inspire me daily. For example:
FFFFOUND!  - my favorite because it’s usually postings of eye candy.

Drawn! The Illustration and Cartooning Blog - I love this dearly

My Life In A Cube - This guy is amazing, sometimes it’s like my job.

I will do a part 2 of this.

Portfolio in AS3

I finally sucked it up and did a new layout for my website. The thing is, AS3 is what’s selling right now… so I recreated mine in AS3. I still have more to add because I got lazy. However, I can’t help working on other people’s things before mine…

Scott Anderson: Illustrator

I’ve always loved illustrating so when I see really good ones I feel like I should share. So I am sharing Scott Anderson’s portfolio. His blog is here.

I especially like this one:

Handwriting… really

I love creative type. This inspired me today

No acquisitions.. but Daniel Blackman rips Barack Obama?

Well unless they had the same designer… maybe

just maybe.

Obama’s site is absolutely beautiful. Following all the aesthetic goodness of well-balanced, sophisticated and clean design. And, I guess someone thought we wouldn’t notice, or there were many reasons why.

Yah there’s something eerily similar.

But let’s not mistake the logos as well…

What do you know, the backgrounds match perfectly…

Well of course, the only places that needed to be changed was where Obama’s Logo was right?

I sort of wished that when I navigated to “Meet Daniel Blackman” it didn’t show the page title as: Untitled Page.

What’d you know, I found this on You Tube.

Design Tee

Design is Honest, Advertising is Honest. I work in Advertising…

Design Critiques

I was checking out Veerle’s site today, because her articles show up in my google reader. She wrote on design critiquing and you should really read it here. However, I am going to highlight some things.

Everybody has an opinion and tastes differ. That’s why you can’t create a design that everyone will like.

Agreed. I am often tired of many managers who come over and end up battering your designs into nothing. This is from experience. I also especially liked that she covered that clients usually tend to change the design as well. Please read the rest at her site.

Illustrations at work

Ok, so I do random sketches at work sometimes but I felt good when they allowed me to create a few illustrations for LG. Here are a few - I am posting these because it doesnt look like that now :-D.
