It was a Friday afternoon and the girl and I were taking a nice mountain bike ride, when all of a sudden!!!! I proposed.
I feigned injury, and upon her helping me up, I popped the question. You see, she felt sorry for me, and thought I was hurt, and knew she had to say yes.
It's been a fun week and we are starting to gear up for the ultimate design project... The wedding! What a great opportunity for some branding and design muscle to flex it's power. It doesn't hurt that she designs wedding invitations for a living :)
Damn, too many things to say. To have even been apart of an era that was Michael Jackson is a true gift.
Of course we all remember the musician and entertainer with the red jacket, glove and the moonwalk moves. He was unmistakable in every way. He was the original that all standards have been set to. A true talent that wrote, sang and danced. There will simply not be another Michael.
The music was only part of the man. He used his status to contribute mass amounts of money and his time to coutless charities. With "heal the world", "man in the mirror" and "black or white" he sang to do more than entertain. He entertained to change the world.
From the pure voice of Michael's childhood to the showstopping entertainer he became, everything about Michael will be missed. Rest in Peace Mr. Jackson, you are sorely missed and our world mourns.
Where would we be without type and the written language? Leave it to the good people at House Industries to keep the pages you read looking good. Hmmm, Neutraface... So nice :)
There are a few type foundries that hold the art of type to it's highest standards. House is one of them. Plus they make some fun font products. Go take a peep.
If you need some inspiration for life, Netflix this film. Some great stories. Class act people and PHENOMENAL imagery. The views of Earth are so damn surreal.
To think we are just floating in the middle of something bigger than we can even imaging blows me away.
It has almost been 40 years since these amazing missions took place. You can really appreciate the impact it had on the world after watching this film.
I love making icons, and I love looking at well made icons. AIGA has released a series of pedestrian/passenger icons for public use. The simplicity of an icon is the hardest part.
Simplifying the complicated is a true test. How can you not love graphic design?
So I was perusing YouTube and watching some Subaru rally videos and I came across this one. Ken Block, one of DC shoe founders, has really made his name known in the rally world. This video blows me away. Not only is the driving spot on, but the creative direction and film quality are second to none. Those slow-mo sections are unreal!
I really miss my 2002 Subaru WRX after watching this. What a great car :)
Infinity has been using this last campaign to really push the new "Leaf Cross" logo and the newly designed website, Infinitysurf.com.
The fellers over at morSURF magazine have started a new mag to replace the well known LONGBOARD magazine. Take a peak at the new Infinity ad that will gracing the pages of this Summer's issue...
After a busy design week, I decided to get my shred on. To the Creek for some south swell fun. It was a bit mixed up, but it did the job.
Back to the beach where camera and tripod were waiting. The clouds were amazing! Snapped a few shots and was off to Friday taco night. Doesn't get much better...
