SC state fair

Last weekend i went to the SC state fair. At the fair there is an art exhibit. there are student / armature / and professional groupings. This is a paint from the professional...not so profession, i say.

I have gotten hooked.

so i started looking for more and more of these. I like this one cause i love Family Guy, and the fact the each person corresponds to a typeface and color.

Another type video

this is something that i found after watching the ones that Stan posted. I am sure most of you have heard this Dane Cook skit.... so a little visual.

weak blog

this weak my blog is a little weak. i have been doing a lot of reading over the theory of design and information arch. i have picked this book up and it has given me new perspective about design and user interactions.

seventy-nine short essays on design - michael bierut

I have also read the whole book that jon recommened about information arch.

outside of my norm.

I am doing something i do not do enough of, read. It is seldom that i sit down and open a book. I have been doing lots of internal think and research about design and structure. Jon turned me onto a hand full of books and i picked them up. Dry material, but i can not put them down.
will post titles later.

a little something
