2010|365: A Design Project
In an effort to keep from getting creatively stagnant as I go through the course of a 9-5 design job, as well as staving off general laziness, I’ve undertaken this personal project.
Every day, rain, shine or somewhere inbetween, I will be making something cool. The results may be photos, design pieces, experimental type, videos, or anything else I feel is worth showing. The only caveat will be that each piece will have to be made that day, even though it might not get posted on the same day.
The end result of the project will be a book (possibly 365 pages long, maybe shorter to reduce costs), which I will make available to anyone who wants to pay for one.

September 12th “People I Know: Angie Redux”

The third (and a half) in a series of photos I have been meaning to take for a while.
The people I know.

Sat down with Angie to take a new portrait for her magazine’s fall issue, and after vainly searching for a good location on a very rainy day, settled on a breakfast instead. Due to some unfortunate technical difficulties, didn’t get anything print-worthy, but I thought this one was pretty cool.

Subject: Angie Ishak
Editor. Designer. So Darn Sweet.
Location: The Corner Bistro, West End.
Fancy Photo Things: Nope, same glowing ball of fire in the sky with some interference from the house lights.

September 9th “Gangstas Illustration Test 2”

September 9th, 2010 § 0

Some watercolor stylin’.

So, after an evening planning session, the concepts are fleshed out. The lines are drawn, and the hoes are gathering for Gangstas of Catan. We’ll be doing a series of photoshoots for the game cards, and then converting them into digital illustrations (since neither of us can illustrate for squat). So I’ve been testing out some photoshop techniques. With varying degrees of success.

September 7th “The Range”

Hit the unforgiving turf of the driving range tonight. See that impenetrable black void in the distance? My balls didn’t get there.

Coming soon to a ghetto alley near you. A collaborative project between myself, and the ever so dope Mr Daniel Ferrari.

September 5th “Tiny Photographer On White”

September 6th, 2010 § 0



247|365

Since I’ve been depicting some notable personages lately, I figured it would be good to document one of my favorite photographers. He even dressed up for the occasion. He’s been doing some higher end fashion work lately, and I think all that glamor may have rubbed off on him.

September 4th “Flash Dance Mob”

September 5th, 2010 § 0

While I may not have made anything cool, I did do something fairly cool. The lady and I attended a flash dance mob down by the Main St shipping yards. With the inestimable Mr. Jonathan Igharas and his awesome DJ Trike providing the tunes, a good, albeit chilly time was had by all. Common agreement is that he should add in a mini fridge stocked with inexpensive beer though.
