Good Design is...

Here is an interesting quote that I found today. These seem to all be very good goals to keep in mind for every project. I wish a lot of advertisers would pay more attention to points 5, 6, and 10.

1. Good design is innovative.
2. Good design makes a product useful.
3. Good design is aesthetic.
4. Good design makes a product understandable.
5. Good design is unobtrusive.
6. Good design is honest.
7. Good design is long-lasting.
8. Good design is thorough down to the last detail.
9. Good design is environmentally friendly.
10. Good design is as little design as possible.

    — Dieter Rams (1985)

Bar Louie

Previously Chicago-based chain "Bar Louie" is now headquartering in Dallas. Their style is a mix of class and irreverence hidden behind grunge texture. I have been working on some interesting artwork for Bar Louie with the Thomas Agency in plano. I hope to be posting pictures soon.

I have spent some time researching and writing on the new and dangerous trend of "Crowdsourcing." This is directed to both other designers, aspiring artists, and clients. The full article is listed below.

JBU Graduation

It was great to see so many friends graduating from JBU today! I am already missing them like crazy. It was also impressive to see how many design majors graduated this year.
