bored? go here.
and find their "reel"
this whole firm is comprised of individuals that never obtained college degrees, but you will see by their talent, they are fucking design geniuses. I saw a member speak at last year's AIGA seek:design conference at NIU.
blew my mind. gives me goosebumps/leaves me speechless..
they have computer programmers, musicians, photoshop wizards, video people...omg.
talk about dream job.
they are out of St. Louis. they Shot "Omid" video for thievery corporation in downtown stl.
if you don't care about design, shame on you!
my guest speaker today was cool. he's from around here, so he didn't have big glamourous stories of meeting famous designers. but he had pretty decent work.
the big topic of conversation lately in my design circles is whether or not self-expressive design should be in our portfolios, or if it even has that much of a place in our cirriculum...
there is a time and a place to make something that is really personal, but it will always come down to what the client wants and needs...what type of problem they are trying to solve. And if their style isn't like yours..well. there are certain sacrifices that have to be made for the sake of the client.
Our department has been criticized for being to nani-nani/artsy-fartsy, that the sort of design that employers look at, thereal business-y stuff is missing..."huge holes in our portfolios" as my prof said today.
anyone who knows art...
do you agree?
if you care.

Weren't we discussing that the problem I had with design is it wasn't being expressive enough for my taste....and you argued adversely? I remember you saying that if you could move someone with design then that is the greatest thing to do, so why would you go against your word and your heart? I was talking about the clients and the corporations taking design in a different direction....not personal but, more POP more like here make a nice typefaced J for a J Crew shirt.....wtf why would you do that to yourself? You are very smart and very talented I think you have to go with your feelings, understand what your teacher says, but don't sell yourself short and compromise your beliefs. If somebody says well you HAVE to do this in school, do it but stick to your guns.
