too much design!

I forgot to post this from Friday. Color board + a happy list.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

++ 100 colors & 100 days of writing (jennifer robichaux, this is your summer project.)

++ field notes, why are you so beautiful?

++ i'm totally in love with the t.25 car. it's designed to be recycled once it's life is up, and made into another car. it's gets 61 mpg and is smaller than a smart car, but fits 3 adults. smart redesign. i'm also loving the diorama photos.

today, even at work, seemed sort of rushed. my brain was racing and my breathing was shallow. i sit for too long in front of a computer screen.

so tonight after a walk with jen,

i laid on my bed and slowed down. and i thought of these things.

white tile.

ceiling fans.

heartbeats.

the feeling of smooth legs.

shampoo'd hair.

how nice boys smell.

heartbeats.

rain when you are inside.

white kitchen light.

soft nighttime light.

this kind of piano: charlie winston.

today i made two things based on a color palate from photographer ye rin mok. the reasoning behind this is two fold: one, find new and innovative (and possibly not so great) color combinations. two, understand color, why photographs evoke a certain feeing, and how design might do something similar.

i hope to do at least a few of these a week.

keep it simple, 'cause simple is good.

i have allowed myself 30 minutes of downtime before moving into the lab to finish my design book.

i am down to -2 minutes.

so this must be quick.

things i am thankful for

the second-to-last day of class

not having cosc this morning

fighting about stupid things with garrett and being contrary for fun

free massages, even though i didn't get one

free cotton candy, just because it's pretty

eating outside

a constructive photo critique

midnight doughnuts with friends, especially the free hot kind

peanut butter

austin screenprinting staying open late

my growing knowledge of austin

kgsr and watch me as i fall by ry cuming.
