Posters, pictures, and inspiration… oh my!
Hello old friend? Has it really been that long? These last few weeks have been very hectic for me, so I apologize in the delay of posts. But now that I have my other projects in order, I’m back to spread some inspiration around. Today’s post is pulling from my inspiration bank. Over the course … Read more
Posterity
Perusing the internet, I found this really cool site the Mill creative group put together to “aid famine relief efforts in East Africa.” The staff from the Mill, along with some of their creative friends, developed these wonderful posters. Why not give yourself an early Christmas present and help the cause at the same time. … Read more
Your Daily Read
I think fuel the fire is a great blog (and a nice daily read), but I’m not pompous enough to believe it’s the only blog you should be reading. One of the main reasons I started this blog was because I wanted to share all the inspirational work and cool insights I found on other … Read more
Art+Design
In 2006 I had just graduated high school and had no idea what the hell I was doing. I got into North Carolina State University, and was taking nothing but general education courses.

The animation is a tribute to the movie ‘drive’ which I haven’t even seen, but I think this animation did more for me than the actual trailer. Check out the artists blog (if you can speak … Read more
Timelapse Videos are Dope
The world looks different when you slow things down or speed it up, and with the increase of post-production techniques, the art of capturing this movement is becoming even more popular. In contrast to what most people think, to create these awesome timelapse effects, artists are actually stringing together tons of still photos taken throughout … Read more
the Power of Cinematography
Watched this clip “Losers” earlier today, and it really just reinforces the power of film. Great piece on a subject that’s all too real for a lot of kids today. When well executed Cinematography combines with a powerful subject, you’re bound to get a great product. I love the planning that went behind each of … Read more
Always get a Contract: The Business of Design
Every freelance designer I know today has gone through some very similar issues when it comes to contracts, and that is that nobody really knows the right way of doing one. I really appreciate everything that my undergrad professors taught me in school, that education is the reason why I am getting hired today. But … Read more
