I found him on the stairs of Marshall hall. 🙂   This Photo represents the concept of  dominance. Dominance is explained to be a series of … Continue reading "Principals of Design PICS!!"

This was a very good read. Massimo Vignelli is a brilliant man. my favorite quote from this whole short booklet was the very first sentence under pragmatics. “Whatever we do, if not understood, fails to communicate and is wasted effort.” I feel like this quote is central to the whole discipline of art and design. … Continue reading "Thoughts and Ideas on Design"

  I have always loved taking photos. Since I was young I’ve always had some kind of apparatus on my person that could take picture. When I was younger it was a Polaroid camera, now its my iPhone 6s.

Im not very musical so it took me about 15 minutes to divide up all the … Continue reading "Rhythms With Things"

I believe that Leinster’s vision of having a “logic”, or an apparatus that serves as  a reference source as well as a entertainment box, most accurately aligns to modern day where you see almost every human having an access point to the internet (whether it be VIA Cell phone, … Continue reading "Internet46"

Mr. Kleon did an excellent job outlining some key ways to share your creativity with the outside world.

After reading this post … Continue reading "Show Your Work"
