Sometimes we're so stuck on the end result, we lose sight of the problem we're solving.

Prof. Sherin sent us this link (to help with Junior Design) and it's funny because Cameron Moll's amazing letterpress poster has been in my inspiration book since Typography. I really like the whole concept behind humblepied.com, not to mention the people giving the advice are so respectable. It really is humbling.

Cameron Moll's letterpress poster

 wow.

( i too thought the condenser mic and filter was a bit silly.)

tswizzle.

Look how precious she is, Angelface Taylor.

Pop artist Peter Max painted these to commemorate Taylor Swift's "Speak Now" and "Fearless" albums. "I've been doing portraits of iconic musicians for so many years, and it is a pleasure to add Taylor Swift to the collection," says Max. "She is one of the most beautiful and talented stars we have today." And it's not for granted - Taylor's been a big Peter Max fan ever since she was little Angelface Taylor when she use to walk past his work on display in the Ocean Gallery in Stone Harbor.

Peter Max is known to use bold, vibrant colors and has been successively called a pop icon, neo-fauvist, abstract expressionist and the US' "Painter Laureate." Prof. Kerr said he was a big deal last semester too.

This yet again, proves how Taylor Swift is relevant to absolutely everything.

left: greek writing on pottery right: Bryan Haker's type

After the speedy review on chapters 1-4, I had found Haker's design on Friends of Type. It's pretty interesting to see the ancient greek writing (letters characterized by symmetry) next to Haker's piece which seems to be following a similar form.

I thought Haker's letters were harder to read than the greek letters. It took me a while to distinguish the word "rotten".

introductions

I'm Diana, currently studying graphic design, I kind of fell into it. I was never into school and really thought I was just going to cruise my way through college.

I love design (graphic, interior, industrial, fashion). I love color, a sense of humor, and a healthy amount of obsession.

And during the course of this semester, this is where I will be posting images of things that catch my eye or inspire me. I'm really looking forward to speeding through right to twentieth century design spending a lot of time on that.
