The Lost of Art of Labeling

It's taken me awhile to write a post because I have been quite busy at work. They were not kidding when they said I would jump off the deep end and into design. This morning I was working on a label for an envelope with a limited edition print inside. I was channeling old museum labels (has to do with the photograph/book it's from). The following are photographs I picked up in my internet trolling.

The Man With the Golden Eyeball!

This is one of my favourite music videos. I love love love the ghosts.

My sweet CS4 we are officially obsolete.

I can't win with you Adobe. Sometimes I think you are a benevolent god, but right now you are acting like a rich rich malevolent god.

YES

I never thought I would say these words again with joy and excitement but: I AM AN INTERN!

Early Design #2

After the great power cord fire of 2010 rendered my old ibook null, I was without a laptop for a little while (boo hoo I know). Luckily my ghetto PC laptop has recently been brought back to life (meaning: 1000 viruses removed) and with it all my early design work. It was so weird to open up CS2, but I found what I made the very first time I understood the pen tool. It also features every first year designer's favourite font: Futura. I remember starting to work on this while the sun was still out and getting so into it that when I was finished it was night and I hadn't even noticed. That was when I knew 100% that design was the right choice, and things were going to get interesting from thereon out.

Horse & I

This week continues to be as hectic and surprising as the last, but definitely in a good way. Throughout this entire year I have kept a postcard on my desk, sometimes propped against the monitor, sometimes buried under business cards and scribbled roughs, just now I fished it out from behind a questionable mock up of a toothpaste box. Regardless, it has been around and often within eyesight throughout this year. I think I'll take it with me when I move. It's called "Half-Brother (Exit to Nowhere - Machiavellian)" by Mark Wallinger. It's an impressive oil on canvas at the Tate Modern.

El Oh Elz

I know that it is terrible that I don't know who to credit this image to, but I just recently remembered my love for it. I've actually stolen this off a friend's facebook profile picture. I think my original comment sums up how I will always feel about this image: "I'm scared I'm going to wake up blind because god knows I will never see anything that makes me as happy as again".

To whoever made this mind-blowingly amazing image: I submit myself to your will oh godly one.

Crazy and Lazy

It's been a crazy, crazy week. Definitely good crazy, but also meaning I had zero time. So all I have to say for now is: look at this table that I saw on the Clean and Creative Blog. I will also let them describe it for you.
