The fight for original material

Oct 19, 2009 As Graphic Artists, our daily job and requirement is to clearly communicate (through imagery) the emotion, representation, and goals of the businesses that we create for. If Graphic Artistry is your job, you may know through experience that successful work is not just creating original artwork, but capturing and excelling the clients accumulative brand. Early stage Graphic Artists seek to create original artwork first, and find a way to make it work for the client second.

Everybody’s right here. But create something new out of something that already exists, isnt still creation? And original artwork. Then, can’t we make everybody receptive to this new artwork?

Thanks Patrick. Yes I agree, we all end up creating (or rather re-creating) the things that have been done in the past.

New in Media: Things I Have Learned In My Life So Far

Oct 13, 2009 I picked up this book fairly recently, realizing that I was extremely late to do so. I remember all the of initial public shock of the books first days on shelf, but I just couldn't find the time to pick it up. At a point when I was desperately looking for inspiration, and not finding it online, I decided to take a step away and go hunt down this amazing book.

I got this book as a gift a couple months back and it’s still one of my favorites. I really liked Sagmeister’s thoughts in Helvetica so this book was a must read. Nice pickup!

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.
