The purpose of this blog is to document my progress as a graphic designer. I encourage your thoughts, comments, suggestions, and critique as these will assist me in my growth and design aesthetic.

Really?
Did I really fall in love with you?
When you didn’t even too?
Did I really hold your hand?
All of this was so unplanned.
The earth travels round the sun,
The moon travels round the earth.
My love travels round your heart.
My life travels round your birth.
When we met you left a kiss,
All of this is hinged on this.
That is what I can’t undo,
When all your words became untrue.
That moon circles round the earth,
The planets circle round the sun.
It makes me wonder about what’s worth;
When it’s finally said and done.
Is that what happened really?
I thought you loved me freely.
Our future bright, ideally,
But it wasn’t, no, not really.
You didn’t even know me,
Or about my life.
You just figured I was free,
A dull and jagged knife.
It was all supposed to be such bliss,
Now you, I can’t even miss.
Everything that was so grand,
In my mouth, it tastes so bland.
The earth travels round the sun,
The moon travels round the earth.
My love travels round your heart,
My life travels round your birth.
Did I really fall in love with you?
Did that happen really?
And when it fell apart like sand,
All of this we now dismiss?

Tile Patterns
The MCC Festival of the Arts was amazing! Great times with GREAT friends. The tile patterns turned out to be very popular. So I made a page on this blog to catalog the best 3 designs. If I get enough orders maybe I won't have to get another part time job over the summer LOL. Check them out: Pattern Catalog

Updated Singularity Poster
I made a couple of small changes but I think this is a much more effective message:

Poster Design Part 2
After our critique of the first poster designs, the class was instructed to choose a poster and take an opposing viewpoint for our second poster designs. I chose a poster promoting robots as "our friends."
In case you're not familiar with the term "Technological Singularity," according to Wikipedia: Technological singularity is "a hypothetical moment in time when artificial intelligence will have progressed to the point of a greater-than-human intelligence."
And here's an interesting quote from another article I came across on the Internet: When Will Singularity Happen – And Will it Turn Earth into Heaven or Hell? “Defined as the point where computers become more intelligent than humans and where human intelligence can be digitally stored, Singularity hasn't happened yet. First theorised by mathematician John von Neumann in the 1950s, the 'Singularitarian Immortalist' (and Director of Engineering at Google) Ray Kurzweil thinks that by 2045, machine intelligence will be infinitely more powerful than all human intelligence combined, and that technological development will be taken over by the machines.”
Sounds a little scary, huh? Could The Matrix, in fact, be a real possibility? So, I decided my poster should be a forewarning of this imminent danger. I welcome your comments and critique (btw, the link at the bottom of the poster is a fictional website):

Wednesday & A New Poem
The sun tormented him
when he finally awoke
He coughed and he wheezed
until he’d just choke
Grimacing at this
poorly played joke
He pulled up the thin
sheet around him to cloak
Having a faint memory
of events from before
Rolling out of his
bed and onto the floor
He managed to get up
to open the door
Remembering something
he could not ignore
How life somehow seemed
to keep going by
That every truth
spoken was simply a lie
Recalling all this he
thought he should cry
But could only react
with a deep gasping sigh
It’s my own fault, he
thought to himself
The one to be blamed
was always myself
Habitually placing my
heart on a shelf
Not paying attention
to the needs of the self
He returned to his
bed to seek some more sleep
Not wanting to ponder
these issues too deep
Knowing what’s sown
is only what’s reaped
There’s so very
little that’s worthy to keep
He fell on the
mattress and clutched to his pillow
He felt that his
being was beginning to billow
Imagined the corpse
of a dead armadillo
And dreamt of a
weeping sage colored willow
He slept to forget
the rest of the noon
But awoke to that
tormenting sun far too soon
Hoping to see just
the light of the moon
His reality reverted
to a children’s cartoon
His insanity caused
him to seek some relief
Dishonesty began to
be his only belief
He swore that someday
he’d turn a new leaf
In the end he was
robbed by a kind quiet thief

EAT BEEF Poster Revised
I got a very constructive critique from a colleague and made some edits to my design. I think this one is so much better. This is why we critique each other; to bring out the best.
