James Victore is a very inspiring and interesting guy. The work that he does is very different and you can tell that he has fun doing it. I was taken aback by what he said in reference to typography but its true.
Have a great weekend everyone
Its going to be interesting to see how this turns out. I really like the concept of it as well.
Its remarkable to see how everything ties itself together no matter what profession it may be.
This past week I had my first real Graphic Design interview. The position was for a graphic design/web designer position. I will admit I was a little nervous and happy at first to even have an interview. The workspace was great and I could have really seen myself working with those guys.
What I learned was that I need to have more web experience. As you all know I am doing Code Academy classes. You have to remember that now everyone who has a computer and downloads photoshop or another editing program believes they can be a designer. So learn more then just being a graphic designer.
I was told my Design work is very strong now I just have to focus on learning web design. Also to grow my portfolio with more pieces. Which both are things I have started to do with more intensity. Now let me tell you some tips to have a great presentation for your Graphic design Job interview.
Well I hope these tips will help you get the Graphic Design position that you have been always wanting to have. So keep designing and thanks for reading.
What are some interview tips you can give for going for Graphic Design Job interview?
Whenever you make the decision that you want to be a designer or whatever you have to dedicate yourself to it. Meaning you have to become a person that wants to be the best. This could not be the case for some people or it could be. You have to find out where you want to end up in your chosen career/life.
Because once a person makes the decision that they are going to do whatever it takes, (not doing anything illegal) you will see how much better they will become. Being a designer it requires a great amount of self discipline. For example you have to basically do what you are telling a client. You have to send emails when you say you are going to and meet deadlines.
All of this is not hard to do. You just have to believe that whatever you are dreaming is possible for you. Remember if you are not believing in your dreams someone else is believing in theirs.
This is actually pretty interesting to see something like this exists. I for one don’t think I could trust something like this no matter what. Because the safety of having all of your cards on one card. Basically to me seems as if you lose it then your basically screwed. But I know Coin has thought of those possibilities. What I do like about it is the simplicity of having less to carry. Also the app that notifies you when you’ve left your card behind which makes this even more awesome.
Are you going to order one? What are your thoughts about it? Let me know in the comments below
This is such a great book small and easy to read with a great formula to follow.
Reading this I am blown away by the quality of this book. Learning the history of design is a great to learn what caused the certain trends and styles. The book is over 6 hundred pages full of design history. This is a pretty big book but i’m making my way through it.
I found out about this book from listening to a Jim Rohn audiobook. After reading the good bit that I have its beautifully written and its a short read. So that means you’ll learn about history very quickly. I definitely recommend getting a copy of this.
Developing typography is really pretty simple. The difficult part is the details of the letters and many other things. Depending upon what you plan to do with the typography will determine the type design. Then you will want to figure out what is the most important part of your typography.
For one you want to determine what type of typography you were going to be making. The different types are hand drawn typography and digital type to keep it simple. Which honestly hand drawn typography which is normally what the digital typography comes from. Which will depend upon whether or not its going to be used as a font.
The steps to take to make typography
Making typography is such a fun and relaxing thing. But you may or not understand the amount of detail that is involved with creating a font. Also hand lettering can be such a time consuming task. Which will utterly depend on you if you are wanting to make it look beautiful or just to finish it. So go and have fun with typography.
So I came across a reddit thread about none other then little kim stealing someones art work and giving no credit for it. Someone like little Kim you would expect her to do the right thing being an artist. Because if someone got caught downloading her music they would be sued like no other.
I can only imagine how much more things like this happen to many artists across the world. The girl that produced this work her name is Samantha Ravndahl of Batalashbeauty. Her instagram is here and little kims is here and I wish the best for samantha in this case. The art is supposedly for a mixtape and that absolutely makes no difference. The artist should be paid.
So for example lets take this into consideration on how many people will listen to Kims song, People who know of Lil Kim, How many people follow her on twitter over 1 million people do. This utterly disgusts me that a musician would do such a thing and here’s a link to the full thread on reddit.
So remember this even if someone steals your artwork and gives you no credit people will eventually find out about it. Because now more people are going to know about Samantha Ravndahl and what she does. I am very interested in how this turns out in the coming weeks.
One thing I forgot to mention
Lil Kim took the photo and put her watermark over it which you can see on her instagram.
What are your thoughts about Lil kim doing such a thing?
