This was once a blog where I shared many, many things, most of which were awesome. Somewhere around fall 2009, I got a big-kid media job and no longer can keep up with this old thing. There's some good stuff hanging around here though. You should check it out.

Web Wednesday; WOW : Wonderwall

Wonderwall is interior design firm in Japan that not only has a pretty impressive portfolio of work, but their website is something of which I have never seen.  The site bubbles and moves with every roll over on the front utilizing Flash and presents information and interactivity in a very refined yet fun way.  As...

Font Bureau vs. NBC: Stealing isn’t cool

News in the design world is that Font Bureau, one of the largest type design companies in the country, are taking NBC to court for the unlicensed use of several of their popular fonts.  In a suit for ‘no less that $2 million,’ Font Bureau indicates that NBC used Bureau Grotesque, Interstate and Antenna on...

WOW: Odosketch

This is amazing:  Odosketch is a super great online sketching app that allows, well, you to sketch using a variety of brushes and colors.  The brushes act sort of like pastel crayons and allow for some really awesome things.  They also have a gallery of creations from other people, some of which are really, really...

Web Wednesday : Brand New Redesign

Take a look at who recently redesigned their site and the changes look amazing: BrandNew the blog that discusses idenity and well, branding, has put together quite the fancy redesign, moving everything to the center rather than the left, and incorporating some pretty awesome textures.

Flash Photo Viewers from AIRTIGHT INTERACTIVE

One of my most favorite things in the world are Flash elements that just simply do their job.  Elements that can wow you with just the ultility of their design, the ease of use, the power of the simple functions.  And most of all, I love when these things are free, downloadable, easy to maintain,...

This just blew my mind : What is a browser?

A dude from Google stood at Times Square and asked 50 people “what a browser?” Very few people knew the right answer. This puts a whole new perspective on internet users for me. I guess I’ve just always just been surrounded by people who at least new the basics of the internet, or at least...

There goes your afternoon : Paul-Rand.com

Paul Rand, who is probably my most favorite modern designer (well, apart from the Eames), left a legacy of work, theory, and methology that matches no other.  He gracefully and bravely changed the way we think about idenity and design, advertising and convention.  Basically, he’s the boss.  He’s the Charles in Charge.  (what?!) Paul-Rand.com is...

Web Wednesday : The reason I haven’t called…

So when I’m not working, making stuff for Etsy or writing in this here blogorama, I’m doing design work for my lovely church, Dialogue Church, here in town.  It was started about a year ago by some good friends of mine while I was still in college, and I started helping out on the design...

The Beatles : Rock Band

So, like most every other American, European, Canadian, or some one with access to a radio or another human being, I become a fan of the Beatles in middle school.  I was 12 and had just watched “A Hard Day’s Night” at my grandparents with an older cousin.  And at that point, I knew that...

Speaking of UP

Lou Romano, who did some of the development and early production elements of UP, has a great post about the design process for the film, including early lighting tests, sketches, and scene mock-ups. Amazing! (Check out the site for some great scans/photos of all of the artwork.  Amazing!)
