I’ve been doing a bit of visual tweaking to Graphically Speaking. Applying
some of the suggestions I got from my Design
Improv post has helped refine some of the elements of the site. This week
isn’t all about me, however.
Ryan Sims was interviewed
by SkinnyJ. I really like his work, and to find out a bit more
about his thoughts on the process is quite fascinating. Just goes to show how
different (or not) we might work to reach an ultimate goal. I’m not sure
how much personal info I would divulge if I were interviewed, but whose going
to interview me? Ha.
Keith
bit the bullet and upgraded to Moveable Type 3.1. I thought about
upgrading, until I read his review. I’m currently working with 3.0, and
I have to keep telling myself, “if it aint broken, don’t fix it!”
Is aint a word?
I think so, although I don’t use it all that often, but I digress.
Stumped?
I used to be. Creating the odd rays of this drunken star were always my folly.
Apparently I was not using the left side of my brain. It won’t be the
last, I’m afraid.
What have you found interesting over the past week?
I’ll interview you sometime, Mike. Also, I thought the interview with Ryan was enlightening, moreso when he revealed that design is a part of his life.
I always say, once a designer your perspective on life changes. You no longer see a telephone booth, you see the ridges and chipped paint and the structure. Everything you see, you see in new light.
kartooner: Sounds like a plan. We could interview each other.
For the best of designers design is life. I have this omnipresent cognizance of typography, especially in places with a lot of signage (i.e. Disney World). Sometimes it’s great having that type—awareness, but others times I wish my perspective were that of a little child again where everything is new.
P. S. Sorry I took me so long to respond. Just got my net connection back.
