  • Music by DoKashiteru-_The Annual New England Xylophone Symposium I got the music for this video from http://dig.ccmixter.org/ It is licensed under creative commons. I really like this concept of intellectual property. I was inspired to make this because of Ze Frank and his new videoblog that I am a little short of being obsessed about. He’s been convincing…

  • Last Friday, I had a meeting with the group of instructors (along with my team of Ted and Alex) to explain the progress of the Summer and Evening Marketing Materials Project. (More so, we need a catchier name for this assignment.) We presented the logo for the program and Chris made a face. He can’t…

The software I will have to learn and relearn is structured similarly in a sense. The tiers of styles (i.e. character…

  • It never ends. I think that we’ve said everything there is to say about packaging. Design not for designers, but consumers. It’s about making something for a total stranger and making them fall in love with it. Define your product on the front. Make the display type unique, challenge the edges, perhaps. You have to…

  • I’m making a calendar for Jason’s InDesign Class and we’re allowed to do illustrations. For Jason’s next assignment, I am working on building an identity system. The goal is, as with any branding system, to make sure these pieces look like they are married. I pitched my concept to Jason last tuesday and he seemed…
