So I began designing my business card as one of the last parts of my job-finding process, which includes other projects such as finishing my website, my resume and cover letters (all done thank you very much)! I have only designed a few designs so far and have now let the project rest for a while so that I can come back to it with more ideas, but I wanted to post the initial designs now. I find it very difficult to design something when the sky is the limit!!! I think I design more creatively and intelligently when there are limits set. Challenges are good! Here are the designs so far.

An article I read by Cathy Horyn on NYTimes.com made me put the fashion shows of Fall 2009 in perspective. Instead of just saying, ah yes, I like this outfit or not, I needed to look at the fashion collections as art and put them into the context of the world’s economic situation. This was an interesting experiment. I found that I was more attracted to certain pieces once I realized that the designers were responding to a larger inspiration than beauty and trends (such as the Prada collection). Of course fashion designers are connected to current events and can be real artists at times and not just trendsetters, but this can be easily forgotten. read more…

I went for a walk around my neighborhood the other day and found some really nice wall paintings outside of a school! They are done by a Berlin artist named Gino Fuchs.

I remember a few years back when I first saw one of these Tauba Auerbach works in a magazine…..I was so excited by it. It was typography and fine art combined in a way I had never seen before. It’s the kind of image that stuns you and you want to study it and just soak it in. This series inspires me until this day and I would like to create something like this myself, something done with so much diligence, graphic quality and historical reference, but alas, I have not come across the right idea yet. I wonder how she came up with these images.

Even though I wasn’t blown away by this collection, I enjoyed the idea that the models were women walking down the street with their purses, lattes and magazines in their arms. Dsquared collections are usually more casual and very real in terms of what many women wear daily, but putting the models in this context really drives the idea home. It is not a completely original idea, but i admire the creativity.

I am revisiting Marc by Marc Jacobs’ warm and fuzzy collection. I realized that it is actually nice to be looking at this year’s upcoming fall fashion because the warm and cozy looks fit perfectly to the weather we have now. Maybe Marc Jacobs was inspired by the long winter we are experiencing now.

I was just listening to All Songs Considered and they were beginning an interesting discussion on their Blog about why we listen to the music we do. I read through the comments and found that most people were writing about specific examples of what they did and did not like, but not why this was, and many others wrote about associating music with past experiences, making certain music significant for them. I wanted to add my 2 cents. read more…
