Have you seen The Collection yet? It's a portion of the Web site that databases all of the art and styles I interact with daily.

Patterns, contrast, wallpapers, and textiles. Josef Frank puts them all together.

Greg Rutter does something ingenious. List of 99 things you should have already experienced on the internet.

The analog weather system is a thing of beauty. Such a simple idea, but the photographs really tie together the amazing execution of the project. Refreshing to see something like this.

The Lingual Proposition

Mar 19, 2009 Have you ever gotten caught up in using the same words to describe a design? Well don't, there are plenty of other really great words in the dictionary that can describe a design, style, mood, or feeling much better than your classic "minimal, simple, or great." In an effort to help young designers, old designers, and people of all ages, I give you The Lingual Proposition. Twenty seven choices of words to describe a design better than the ones you use now.

Redesign Mozilla, Happy Cog shows you the process

Mar 12, 2009 Just recently, Happy Cog created a Web site called Redesign Mozilla. It gives the public a chance to view the design process for one of the most reputable companies on the internet, Mozilla. I find the experiment completely awesome, because people get to see inside of the designers mind, and get to interact with the designs Happy Cog is attempting to pitch (acting as sort of a public focus group).

I think Dan probably said it best, Mozilla came to them and said they wanted something new and understood exactly what they want. Sometimes with clients, I would rather them not know exactly what they want, so I can give creative input better. But I think the outcome will be a well planned set of actions set forth by Mozilla. Can’t deny that! I’m excited to see the outcome.

Please don’t niche me

Mar 2, 2009 As much as I talk about art that has such deep thought, I really think that some art shouldn't have any thought at all. In all honesty, as an artist, I think the worst thing you could say to me would be something along the lines of "me needing to stay inside my niche." Something magical happens when you don't think about what you are going to make, just have the vision, and engineer a way to create it.

“The problem with this is that it is often difficult for me to reproduce later!”

I think that’s really true for unique art. Sometimes you may have a style, but in that brink genius of creation, you made something completely unique. Think about The Monalisa, I bet it couldn’t be recreated again the same way it is.

Glad everyone is testing out the waters among many mediums. Shows we have some really great artists among us!

Completely agree. I normally have an emotion in my mind or a feeling that I want to convey when I go about making a design, but other than I don’t have a clue of what I am going to design when I start putting something together. Sometimes I just open Photoshop and start playing with colors and brushes and somehow something magical happens. The problem with this is that it is often difficult for me to reproduce later!
