new work

I have finally finished my first project that I'm doing just for me. I think this would make more sense if you find the actual writing I used in this post (I think it's in the block of text of second photo). 

My overall goal is to make a sort of booklet or zine or something like that but I don't know what style I'm trying to go for or if the "Fuel Your Therapy" is the first page or w/e w/e w/e so the in between goal is to just pump out as much stuff as I can and then I'll trim the edges and compile it and try and make my very first design book!!

doing some research

Mariel gets to go to OFFF Barcelona for work (that lucky lucky girl tbh) and she asked me which designers I think she should go to and I felt really stupid because the only designer I recognized was Chipp Kidd and I should probably educate myself a whole lot more. I've taken two design courses at school so far and the only thing I've learned from them is how to use the programs - I really wish they'd expose us to designers and the history of design and things like that. I guess maybe if I majored in it they would? I don't know, but would actually rather learn on my own when it comes to stuff like this.

I browsed through their schedule and picked out one design firm I liked. I should really keep up on this, maybe try and do one of the posts once a week or something.

First up is Vicente Garcia Morillo. 

I liked it at first and then I realized that I didn't know what the name of the firm or person is unless I looked at the URL. Also what is the logo? It sort of very much looks like MOM. But it is nice that colors change when hover - a little tumblry though. I don't know.

And then I clicked on a lot of them and couldn't find one I liked. The nice ones were also a bit to tumblr-y, like this:

But I did find a cool magazine that they worked with called JPeople. I don't know what it is really but here's a lil screenshot and also a reminder to me to figure it out. Also very tumblr-y as well, but nice.

But to be honest I clicked through a lot of them but the websites were not making me want to go further. So far it's just this one but I have a few other websites I know I can research on so I'm going to do that later but right now am very engrossed in a super intelligent ( : P ) show.
