Book Outline

My books outline is as follows:

Some Introduction

Part One
Photography
The best way to kickstart everything by visual and compositional means.

Part Two
Design
All my creative pursuits. Along with images that showcase the work and stories that accompany each.

Part Three
Illustration
The afterthought of this whole collection, my illustrations.

About
Includes mini-biography, influences, and favorite work.

I’ve got a good two pages so far, a solid introduction, and my MacBook back.

Let’s rock.

Macbook

My Macbook crashed last wednesday. I brought it to be sent to Apple on Friday

It’s now the following Thursday and I learn that nothing has been done on it

Long story short, Apple was a bit incompetent and never contacted me.

I had to contact them, which is not my job.

I probably wont have my precious back until Blue Monday.

I’m in a major creative stranglehold.

Mini-Story (iPhone)

Last Friday,

I’m at Cape Cod Mall after an all-night no-sleep-a-thon. I saw people lined up at the entrance. I thought they were just waiting for the place to open. Later I realize it’s because they’re all wanting an iPhone as they stand poised in line before the AT&T store. That’s when it rung true. I’m pretty content with everything I have (I have an EN-V LG phone with Verizon) and I felt that something as slick and portable and all-in-one as the iPhone is, it makes all of us a little lazier, a little simpler, and overall a little stupider. I protested this by writing on the back of an eight and a half by eleven paper Buying Things Does Not Make Me Happy. I walked calmly past, holding up my message to the consumers and I noticed that they saw my message loud and clear. The best part about all of this is, it may or may have not stayed with them(I think, based on intelligence) but it proved that above all that a message illustrated is more attention grabbing than someone making a scene.

Resumé, Business Card designs

If you’d like to check it out, here’s my resumé. Completely updated and consistent with the design of the Business Card, by image and type.

What I’ve been working lately:

I’ve been having fun with creating hand drawn type. This typeface was based around Ed Banger type that I see on vinyl packaging and otherwise. It’s definitely still in it’s intro phases.

Drawn with a sharpie. I’m probably going to make minor adjustments as time goes on.
