Jessica Hische

19 Mar

Okay, so I’ve been meaning to write a post about Jessica Hische, but I simply have not had the time, until now… midnight on Saturday night. Hazzah!
I think I’ll write a tiny blurb now and write a more comprehensive post at a later date.

Jessica Hische is a young and very successful graphic designer. She specializes in typography and creates beautiful hand drawn typography. She has been featured in Communication Arts and has done work for many reputable magazines, among other clientele.

Below is a work by Hische entitled “Should I work for free? – a flowchart”

Tracey Emin – Artist’s Profile – The Saatchi Gallery

19 Mar

Tracey Evans is a British modern artist.

Click the picture below to visit her site, or click here.

Here is an excerpt from her site:

A consummate storyteller, Tracey Emin engages the viewer with her candid exploration of universal emotions. Well-known for her confessional art, Tracey Emin reveals intimate details from her life to engage the viewer with her expressions of universal emotions. Her ability to integrate her work and personal life enables Emin to establish an intimacy with the viewer.

Tracey shows us her own bed, in all its embarrassing glory. Empty booze bottles, fag butts, stained sheets, worn panties: the bloody aftermath of a nervous breakdown. By presenting her bed as art, Tracey Emin shares her most personal space, revealing she’s as insecure and imperfect as the rest of the world.

I love Photoshop

Oh my goodness. This is so funny. I’m pretty sure this is a portfolio website, and this is up on it. Basically this guy took some of his buddy’s Facebook pictures and altered them slightly, most of the time making him just slightly uglier, or putting a lemur in his hand. I love this.

His responses are hilarious as well. You can see them better on the source page.

Mostly Music Themed Inspiration!

Ok so, I do have one non-music themed piece of inspiration, but I assure you my friend that it is epically awesome. Why you ask? Because it combines two of my loves: Stephen Fry and kinetic typography…. OH MY GOODNESS I COULD DIE! Let his soothing voice wash over you… here.

Thoughtful Thursday

So I have dug through my facebook archives and pulled up a few things that I’ve posted recently that I really liked.

100 Principles for Designing Logos and Building Brands
I came across this site using StumbleUpon. It seems to be a fairly good resource that goes over the basics of branding. I shall add it to my giant organized pile of resources!
