Sleeveface Gone Wild
July 1st, 2008Yesterday afternoon we headed to Thrift Town because I needed magazines for an art project. While there I noticed a shelf of old records and remembered a post I read about Sleevefaces. Sleevefacing at the thrift store is the best because all the costumes you need are there.
If you don’t understand what sleeveface is, here is what wiki explains it as:
Sleeveface is an internet phenomenon wherein one or more persons obscure or augment body parts with record sleeve(s), causing an illusion.
Here is a website devoted to sleeveface http://www.sleeveface.com.
Well here are our sleevefaces:
Just in case you are wanting to sleevface you can watch the instructional video on youtube below.
Graphic Design Definition
June 25th, 2008Graphic design is the method of communicating a message visually. There is always underlying communication regardless if the message trying to be conveyed is aesthetically pleasing or not. For arguments sake take this question into account, is photography considered as graphic design or is it merely a resource to be used for design? This depends on whether there is an underlying message to the photograph. If underlying communication is discovered then yes it should be considered as design.
In order for there to be any underlying message or communication through any artistic piece, there must be a process of planning to effectively speak to any audience. If I were giving a speech at a public place and it was my job to persuade the crowd about a particular subject, I would make sure that all my ideas were in order. I would research about the subject, ask questions and learn everything I could about it. I would then plan out everything I was about to say, maybe even open up with some sort of ice breaker. My point is the actual process that went behind this speech is similar to the process of graphic design. There is research, thought and planning. The objective is to effectively communicate, to speak the words of this subject visually, because it has no words of its own to a particular crowd. The steps and journey that we take to get there is the true essence of graphic design.
Changes to come
May 30th, 2008Hello all, it has been a while since I last posted. It has been a wild past month. May has been a long month for us here with several medical occurrences and staying busy completing a research paper for school and not to mention we will be moving soon. Through it all, I have decided to redefine myself; what I stand for and who I am as a husband, a father, a brother, a friend, a student, an artist and a business owner.
My wife and I have had several ideas, some for her and some for me. One of the things I have been constantly thinking about was this blog, and some of the other ideas I have in my bag of tricks. So all in all I decided to write a paper on the definition of this blog. What should it be and what should I consistently talk about? I am still defining at this point but will post the definition here soon. One of the thoughts is that I will separate the blog (web and tech) from my personal, hence having two different blogs. I find that trying to achieve both purposes on this one blog is getting kind of tough because of the many different business owners (current clients) that visit this website.
Please bear with me as we will start to make these changes this summer. There may be a possible domain name change but all in all, this website domain will funnel all traffic to the right place.
Thanks for stopping by and I can’t wait for these changes to take place. Plus the addition of my wife’s online store (can’t spill the beans yet).
