Inspirations- 1/17/12

2012-01-17T23:31:00.001-05:00

Good evening everyone!! Since the beginning of the year it seems that I've barely had time for myself due to working majority of the time. I haven't been able to focus on anything artistic personally and well I want that to change, once I find the time. I hope to have something personal on the blog within the next week. I've managed to get a little time in to do some inspiration searching and came across Cuded- Design and Inspiration. It is one of the coolest and most inspirational site I've come across in a long time.

I usually pick up a few design/compurter art magazines every few months and came across a issue of Computer Arts and they had a special article about typography. It show cased quite a diverse collection of typographic images. So I decided to go on Cuded and came across some amazing work from Yulia Brodskaya, using paper. I just had to share her work. Hope you enjoy.

I must go on a quest to find more of her work. This is some amazing work she has done. I seriously wish I had the patience to give this a try, lol.

Inspirations 1/10/12

As artists, I think we all turn to other works of art for inspiration. Whether you're an interior designer, graphic designer, painter, photographer sculptor, whatever the case may be. Personally I'm always up for spending an hour or two online or at the library looking at things for inspirations.

So I thought it would be nice to share some things that I find inspirational for you to enjoy.

I'll end my inspiration post with a quote from my favorite artist done in a awesome typographic manner.

That's all for today. Thanks for joining in!

Dream Workspace

Have you ever been inside and office and just loved everything about it and wish you could transform a space in your home into your dream work space? Well,there have been a number of occasions I've seen offices I wish I could have placed right in my home. Or visited IKEA and wish I could just scoop up everything I saw to make my dream work space.

I believe artists should have all the space they need to be creative. Things placed within reach and neat and organized to get the creative juices going. Thinking about this lead me to searching for work spaces online for inspiration.

Outside the loud green paint...I love this space.

IKEA seriously has to be THE best place to go to get cool,modern furniture to create the perfect work space. I can't wait to create my own some day.

That's all for today!!! Hope the blog got your mind thinking of some ideas you may have had for some cool work spaces.

New Beginnings

2012-01-03T20:02:00.003-05:00

I welcome you to what I would like to call my personal visual journal. I've finally decided to start a blog of my thoughts, ideas, inspirations and whatever motivates me as a graphic designer. I have a pretty good foundation for my blog but it is a work in progress. I really want to take hold of the reigns of pursuing my career as a graphic designer. So hopefully this blog will help me along the way. With that said, I hope you join me for this journey through the wonderful things art has to give.

From me to you.
