In this talk, Paula looks back on her career and discusses the idea of “serious play”. It starts off a little slow, but starts to really kick in around the 3 minute mark. Scher recognizes that often the best work comes from serious play. The unfortunate thing is that when we create good work from serious […]

These past few days I have learned that elements of design are everywhere! Without even realizing it we see so many different things that have been designed. Even our own homes had to go through a design process and so many design elements had to be implemented before you even moved in. And yet our […]

Today’s daily create allowed me to change the mood of a movie scene by changing the music! I think it came out great and it was fairly simple to do! I wanted to make sure that the music I used would contradict the movie scene a lot so I first thought of a serious movie. […]

Today’s daily create prompted me to draw a picture of where I live! I decided to draw mine using paint (throwback I know) on the computer. I did this because 1) I’m in the middle of moving and don’t know which box my art supplies are in and 2) I am waaaaaaaay better at using […]

My Problem with Time Travel

July 4, 2018

I have always hated time travel books and movies. Changing even one small thing in our pasts can have a huge snowball effect. It is unrealistic to think that a character can go back in time and hang around without altering the future. The worst is when a character goes back in time to fix […]

People care about the way products are presented to them – an idea which isn’t lost on the companies selling us those products. These companies employ basic principles of graphic design in […]

Question of the Week (2) – What if Christianity missed the West?

I’ve often thought that the world would be a better place, sans the stigma of religion. Religion is like a drug, keeping us in a stupor, denying us the ability to think for ourselves. Instead, we’re kept in a box. It’s a suffocating box at that, with whichever “benevolent” being you decide to pray to […]

There’s an underlying science to design. It’s really one of those weird gray areas (pun intended) where technique seems to blend with pure taste. You, the artist, and the seasoning which you flavor your design with is just as import as the underlying concepts. However, you need to ensure you don’t neglect design theories altogether. […]
