Fashion (+) Design

I have to admit, I love fashion. It's fun and beautiful. A well tailored outfit can change everything. So is it important to Graphic Designers?

Look at Angie Wang, designer, typographer. Clothes? Definitely has a sense of style, color coordination. Dexsy was showing me an outfit. ahh very nice. I am in love with a pair of shoes (for the shape and color..).

Today I got a nice jcrew coat, white, wool and cashmere. Only 19 dollars (sale at Jeremy's) and I know I got it for the cut and color. In many ways, that's how I buy a book too. Visual sensibility. And that is how I should design a book.

In a world that is based alot of speech, ideas, and appearance, fashion does play a key role. Though I would love to say that I do not judge you by the shirt you are wearing, I sure will notice if it's a nice dress shirt with a pattern that pops. And though I'd hate to admit it as well, I appreciate that people care about their clothes.

Of course, I dress in an awful rush for school. 8 am. I'm not put together at all (mind and everything too.) But it's Friday night and I'm going out with my boy, so l'm going to go stand in front of the mirror.

field trip!

i went on two field trips this week. one to dwell magazine (inspiring to say the least) and one to point reyes (inspiring in nature). it's always an intense week. it was great today to talk to some some about overtones in music. it's been a long time since i've picked up that flute. i love this literature in the environment class that dexsy and i are taking in class today. hopefully her and i can design a book of pictures for ever-so-awesome professors. I need to start making the posters for this final and also i'm going to write the paper tomorrow.

should i go to napa? it's hard to say.. i say let's stay and work on the cheese and flash website.

ahhhh!

i dropped a class!

Amazing. I've been taking a class that I don't need. Not that I mind really. I love the class. Classical Art History. The ceramics are stunning, and the vase painting? Wow. The idea of craft is really there, the idea of time being spent. Sometimes we move too fast or want things too fast. Slow it, slow it.

Speaking of crazy fast.....

I made this poster in one day for Student Affairs. I don't like the cursive writing.. quite hard to read. Though it does evoke a nice feeling. I did show the guy a variation with the names in italic... I don't think he liked it too much. I should've fought more.








Also I didn't like that the names were not alphabetical... how confusing! But time was short and 4 had to be printed before my 4 hour shift and I couldn't play editor too long. I love the florals though.


This week has been a bit tough. It's my first week working both jobs and going to all my classes on time, so it was a bit crazy. OH and I'm sleeping before 12 now as a pledge to balance my body. And I'm biking more. Of course I take my breaks. Now with this class drop I'll have more time to dream, think, and think more. I can't wait to jump into the magazine face first no helmet and maybe a parachute.

al.rite. let's get this weekend all great and beautiful and cook some pasta tonight.
