Design Quote

It's also good to keep learning, therefore I'm always studying up on Graphic Design. The book I'm reading right now presents a really great point about being "universal."

A reminder to all designers from "Design Elements: A Graphic Style Manual":

"Graphic design comes with an agenda-sometimes a small agenda, such as getting people to come to a film festival, and sometimes a big agenda, such as helping people find their way out of a burning building. The instant you forget this little fact, you jeopardize the clarity of the message...

Consider if you had been working on a way-finding system, and the neat inks you insisted on didn't have enough contract in a smoky environment. As a result, twelve people asphyxiated trying to get out of the building."

JERSEYLICIOUS!!

I love the TV Show Jerseylicious. My dad got me into it. It's loud, has bright pink, animal print, make-up, hair, drama, everything I love...well minus the drama I suppose.

My favorite cast member is Tracy DiMarco. She has an awesome sense of style, and strong personality. Also, she and her, both understand the art of huge hair. She has a lot of haters for some reason. Obviously these people are jealous.

Being that I find her awesome, and that she is my hair hero, I decided to make a quick, cute charicature of her on Adobe Illustrator.

I sent it to her and she was so excited to receive it!! She liked it so much she uploaded it as her default picture on Facebook and credited me as the caption!! WOW!

Not only that but I asked her if she wanted me to send her a print. She told me yes! And that she could sign it for me. She was so happy with it she asked me to create another one for her with her NEW hair. Here is the new version:

Tracy is one of the nicest people I have ever had the luck to get in contact with. If you have never heard of Jerseylicious, I urge you to check it out. It's on the Style network!!
