update on that graphic

the other one wasn't quite there, tho liked. this is what i made that they eventually went with.

just so everyone knows...

...i've been horrible about updating. but the past few months have been really straining.

but all is good now. while i did design a few things with my old employer, i found a new job, which is amazing. i may, in the end, not go into graphic design as a career path. i'm still deciding what i want to do with myself.

that doesn't mean that i don't get a chance to design at my new job.



i like it. trying to keep it corporate. but that's all that's new right now.

new theme graphics...hurriedly done...

...because i've also been making mutha fuckin templates today. so many templates. but...




made these this morning. wanted to be a little more corporate. the first one got approved. with the globe.

finally, new shit to share

been working on new theme graphics for celgene internal meeting. i'm all banged up after last night's drinking with my coworkers for one of the producers' birthday. so today is just spent nursing myself back to normalcy and tweaking these theme graphics and coming up with some more. the direction was to make it look like csi, but only use white, black, gray, and shades of blue.





i think they came out nicely. they still need some editing. especially since they don't know really what they are calling the thing. i was simply told to use the acronym, the terms spelled out, and colors and sort of look. i was also told "make it, like, you know, cinema noir." but i have no idea where that could work if they want it all csi like. oh wells.

holy fuck, templates...

that's all i've been doing. updating theme graphics that should have had the edits i gave them a while ago. i know how to explain it. i just don't want to.

anyway, been a while since i talked about subway tonight/awards. i posted developing the actual theme graphics. now we're developing templates for them:




and then there's subway tonight, which got changed into subway today:






yah. that's what i've been doing lately. they told me about this the end of the day monday...and i tried doing a lot, but i'm also doing reception shit. i don't think people quite understand how hard it is for me to execute their graphics and also, well, answer the phones. i feel as if lately my primary job has become graphics, and i'm picking up other people's slack. like, if there are any complaints about me at work, believe me, i'd have a bitch fit.

mmm, semen...wait, what?

i was on tastespotting. like i am everyday. and came across this.

it made me chuckle. which makes me ashamed.

zero tag

i came across a site called zero TAG and, basically, they hate graffiti. for instance, they say: Research shows that graffiti is what happens when good people do nothing. that's interesting. i was under the impression that street art is a legitimate form of expression that exposes a different perspective.

but when i saw this on their site:

i was actually really saddened. i thought a lot of time, planning, scaling, and innate design sense went into that. and it was beautiful.

then they had a list of banned items. like encouraging graffiti:



but, mostly the site was a bunch of strange opinions that seemed very ego-centric (Graffiti, like stealing, is a crime because it steals law-abiding citizens’ right to live in a perfect world. Graffiti is the product of a subculture that believes art and self-expression are more important than order and cleanliness. for example) and typos:


all in all, this pretty much sums up my opinion about graffiti removal:
