I had to whip up cover real quick for these Nike/ Just Blaze tracks I just downloaded and just had a little quick layout fun. I ended up using this typeface called "neoSans" that I had buried in my library and hardly ever get a chance to use.

I don't even remember where or when I picked it up but it feels pretty modern and has a basketball feel to it. I might have to see where else it likes to live.

Oh yeah and go to Nike Basketball's website, they got a lot of cool design interaction stuff going on. Duh!!!

Greg Oden: Bounty Hunted

Just caught wind that Mikey Moore and Ricky Davis put money one of my favorite basketball players to as of yet play in a professional game... GREG ODEN. What's up with that. Well we'll take that bounty and collect it at you own risk.

Be on the look out for a Greg Oden wallpaper too.

Yes! Did it again. I don't know why this tickles me so much, but they featured the latest icon pack on Apples download page again.

I'm a big fan of apple and their products so it's motivating to contribute to what they are doing down there in Cupertino.

Salute: Carolyn Davidson

noreply@blogger.com (Allen Walker) — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 19:23:00 +0000

In 1971, a Graphic Design STUDENT at Portland State University was tapped to create a logo for a startup athletic shoe company. What she did was create arguably the most iconic symbol, beyond the Holy Cross and Heart, in human history. Never mind what she was payed and what happened after she handed the stamp over. As a graphic designer myself I can't imagine having the confidence to hand over a Swoosh as a comp.

Phil knight, co-founder and chairman at Nike, told her, "I don't love it, but it will grow on me." Could he have known back then how great this decision was for his company. Not likely and he'd probably argue that it's the brand behind the logo that makes it what it is. To an extent I agree... But you can't disagree in any form with this: No one thinks Carolyn Davidson's design of the Nike Swoosh is anything less than genius.

Thank you.

So the idea is that every time we feel revolutionary we run and grab a foreign figure and pal around with them with everything we support. But I feel in 2008 we as Americans of all denominations have accumulated a fair amount of revolutionary propaganda ourselves.

This is an icon set bringing the feeling of revolution and American Struggle culture.

It's 2008. You can not tailgate without a portable TV to watch the rest of the games. You're just not prepared. It takes commitment to the game. You can't front like you only care about your home team. Get with some sort of mobile broadband service provider and pack the laptop. Stay in the game!

Damn I'm bored...

I just put my whole MF Doom library on my iPod the other day... That dude can spit like a damn llama. I think I might format this wallpaper for everyone. Or maybe do a DOOM mask icon set? We'll see. I'm pretty bored with my work right now. I need a decent personal project.

Get ready to see my clouds a lot more too!

Smashing Magazine excerpt

A company is only as successful as its interpersonal relationships. Relating to those who don’t take you or your work seriously can seem impossible. With some it actually could be. However, any business owner or manager has one primary goal: to succeed. Instead of letting people wonder why you’re even on the payroll, show them that you share the same goal and your work is actually half the battle of selling the company, its service, or its product.

Work x Study x Practice

Work... Does it ever stop or take a break? Or does the dedicated mind never rest. I believe if you're not working you're studying. And if it's not research then your practiceing. This happens even when you're having a drink and thinking about it.

There is no break from action when you've found that craft. you simply devour that craft till there's nothing left to eat... And then you produce the shit... The longer the shit, the larger the amazement.

Graphic design is a very complexed position. And by no means am I King James so don't qoute this exerpt as a definitive version. This is more like a rant from from someone who is only known in this world as a graphic designer, (Starving Artist).

A good designer has no box, limits or boundaries. They are only motivated by the possibility of pushing their own limits. With those limits being determined by todays tools and understandings. It is truly guided by ones drive and belief of that limit.

Where is your limit?
