Carolyn Davidson designed the Nike swoosh while she was a student at Portland State University. Nike paid her $35. $35!!!!! Do you have any idea what a logo design costs?
Peretz Rosenbaum, better known as Paul Rand, designed the UPS logo, Westinghouse logo, and IBM logo. He is arguably one of the most influencial designers of our time.
I have a new-found respect for any wire wrapping jewelry maker. I see this stuff everywhere and think to myself that it can’t be that hard to make. It’s hard! If you make this stuff on a regular basis… wow. Thank you for your dedication. Wire-wrapped jewelry is beautiful and that is why I decided to try to make wire wrapped earrings. I picked a standard beginner design and got to work. I think they turned out well and I like them a lot. Read the whole post
George Grie is a Russian-Canadian artist. He is well known for his surrealist style in 3D and 2D art. Grie’s work was heavily influenced by other famous surrealist artsists such as Magritte and Salvador Dalí, fantastic realists Zdzisław Beksiński and Wojciech Siudmak, and surreal photomanipulation artist Jerry Uelsmann.
George’s digital neo-surrealistic artworks are an extraordinary visual record of his thoughts, views, and dreams. The artist’s photo-manipulative work displays a fanciful, playful, and surrealistic world intertwined with detail. Read the whole post
I wish that when I graduated from college as a graphic design student that I had someone to guide me into the business world. They say that college prepares you for life… it doesn’t. And that isn’t a jab at my graphic design professor (because he was awesome) but there is only so much you can learn in four years. Remember, your professors graduated YEARS before you and they might not know what the industry is like anymore. Read the whole post
I am getting to a point in my career where I need a place to store business cards. Does that mean I am going to buy a business card holder? No way! I am going to make one. I think you will all enjoy this one! The way to design your business card holder is entirely up to you. It can be girly, masculine, or just professional. That is why I like this one so much.

I loved Animator VS Animation when I was in college.
I took a class on Flash animation my sophomore year. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, so I was looking up YouTube animations to see what kind of possibilities there were. I found a lot of them but Animator VS Animation was my goal because it was simple, yet fun, and I knew it was within reach. It was my inspiration then and sadly, I am still amused by this video.

I’ve never tried to make my own lotion before today, but I would say the experience went well. Although, this is a semi-homemade lotion I still plan on making my own from scratch someday; I just have to do a bit more research. It seems like some people like using coconut oil with baby lotion and vitamin E lotion but I wanted this to be more fragrant. None of the vitamin E lotion that I found was scented and I didn’t want to mess with essential oils just yet. Read the whole post
