Talented designer and friend, <a href="http://www.bernard-o.com/" target="_blank">Bernardo</a> has created an interesting project for himself. It's called <a href="http://100and.bernard-o.com/" target="_blank">"One Hundred Ampersands"</a> and it doesn't disappoint. He illustrates ampersands for specific people, including yours truly! Take a gander when you get a moment! Thanks for this Benardo, it's awesome!Daniel Dicksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14515216882871447069noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-521354206973595850.post-18523254522912493182012-02-24T01:03:00.003-08:002012-02-24T01:03:57.013-08:00The Big Five ZeroAfter 5yrs of electronic journaling, I've finally reached 50 postings! First and foremost big-ups to Jesus Christ my lawd and savior. I couldn't have done it without you holmes. That one set of footprints on the beach was you carrying me. Shout out to my parents and my fans. I could not have done this without your love and support. There were times where I didn't know if certain postings where news worthy. Or those times when I wanted to read other blogs, instead contributing to my own. The distractions of work and life encroaching on my blog time. Experiencing life outside of the internets... another big time drain. The casual focus it took for me to accomplish this feat is staggering. All I can say is... Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!<br />

It came today! It's basically <a href="http://www.fastcodesign.com/1665872/with-fuelband-nike-aims-to-crush-jawbone-up-and-overhaul-nike" target="_blank">Nike's</a> version of weight watchers but no low carb meals and dessert. Actually, it's more the ability to track all of you activity and get credit for it.<br />

My good friend <a href="http://www.heidygaray.com/" target="_blank">Heidy Garay</a> interviewed me and others discussing the intersections of art and design. She created this <a href="http://the-art-of-design.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">thesis blog</a> as a part of her graduate studies at Pratt. Please peruse at your leisure. Also, check out <a href="http://www.cornedbeefandgrits.com/" target="_blank">Mikell Fine Iles' </a>interview. It is packed with <a href="http://the-art-of-design.tumblr.com/post/15734389990/mikell-is-my-first-interview-subject-you-can-see" target="_blank">thoughtful insights and clarity</a>.

<a href="http://www.drizzydrake.org/" target="_blank">Drake</a> has been an easy target lately. With all the emo-introspective rap he's been cranking out, I forgot how many good songs he's already created. I went back and listened to the mix tapes, cameos and full albums. It's legit ya'll. This dude has been consistently cranking out hits and somewhat unexpected hits ( which, come to think of it might be the issue at heart ). He's currently being things hip-hop has never been. Specifically, vulnerable. It's easy to critique the person that puts himself out there fully. Which actually, presents another issue ya'll. As fans, we prefer our stars to be within sight but difficult to grasp. Drake is completely transparent, making him easy to "get at." So Drake, my bad holmes. You trusted me and I pounced ( Pause ). Whether you thought it is was a safe place or not... I messed up. Although, I wouldn't mind hearing a track like "Wilt Chamberlin" from time to time.

Dave's Quality Meats and Vans equals dope. Both have street credentials and the collaboration makes a lot of sense. No gimmicks or hooks allowed, just simple quality goods. If you haven't been to this store yet, it's a must see & cop. The store is laid out in a fresh way and I didn't mind value proposition. Get you some!

It was like Stanley Kubrick directed <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fKBhvDjuy0" target="_blank">Powers of Ten</a>. I'm serious ya'll. At one point, Jay and Ye trade bars back and forth while two galaxies collide, interact, jostle and soon became one. Which can be interpreted as "Watch the Throne".

This is by far the most eclectic and interesting exhibit I've seen in quite a while. Full of curiosities and treats even for the most jaded museum goers. Don't play yourself, go now!

Listen y'all, Walt Disney and Bucky Fuller were great friends. So, I mapped Mickey's iconic face to the geodesic dome shape. Blam!<br />

Some are not great, some are tweaks on the previous logos and some are amazing. The new gap logo (well, dead logo) to me is about two clicks past the old design if we used a logo dial. People in general are adverse to change and especially now. Most people will never like anything new because in some weird way, when brands evolve and they haven’t, then it reminds us of how much in rut we are in. So next time you’re mad about something evolving, instead of talking trash, look at your life and evolve for god’s sake! The only thing we can learn from Gap’s most recent issues, is how not be cowards and stick to our guns. It’s all we got! I like the new logo. It’s not amazing but it’s refreshed and b/c that gap jean jacket have is now vintage. <br /><br />One more thing: Logos were never meant to be the whole campaign. Unless for short term projects or promotions. Corporate logos are the punctuation and the brand is the sentence that comes before it. Logos don’t have to do as much heavy lifting as they did in the past b/c the environment the logo lives in is what everybody cares about. As with Gap. I know when I go to a Gap Store, they have the basics and every so often a really nice shirt. Gap is affordable and utilitarian with a pinch of style. This new logo and the previous both say that to me. So you* think you* could have designed the logo because it’s simple. Guess what Jay-Z makes rapping seem effortless. They make it look easy b/c they are that good! And there’s more to a logo that just it’s form. Make room for new designs and embrace a new illusion or a refreshed one.<br /><br />Picture above taken from Fast Company's Design Blog.<br />www.fastcodesign.comDaniel Dicksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14515216882871447069noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-521354206973595850.post-2465022419993674452010-08-05T04:39:00.000-07:002010-08-05T05:10:35.207-07:00Everybody<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgao9j9hk9h4VCNqlY8EAjiJmOl5DIA3JanlJwIhjArBTgInrlKw_z5uXGwEaruPmQctlVsVm8yYgNENUUGGUcCRgTZzJrISMWtjXrdLy1IN6d3ES3yuDcctW8A3mS-bmMzD2awuiTt8G0/s1600/everybody.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 255px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgao9j9hk9h4VCNqlY8EAjiJmOl5DIA3JanlJwIhjArBTgInrlKw_z5uXGwEaruPmQctlVsVm8yYgNENUUGGUcCRgTZzJrISMWtjXrdLy1IN6d3ES3yuDcctW8A3mS-bmMzD2awuiTt8G0/s400/everybody.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501895245282823602" /></a><br />When the song "Elevators" was released, this hook ( for which this typography/graphic was inspired from ) was the anti-hook. It curled around corners and walked right beside you like a kind stranger. Then it was gone right when you started to understand. You couldn't wait until the next reprise so you could hear it once again. It's an amazing lullaby, who's pacing and breaths made you want to have a life with the same air. This piece is that to me simple, interesting, elegant and going for a ride. Lately, Outkast has been on steady shuffle and repeat. This usually happens during introspective days or periods for me. <br /><br />I'm looking into using the letterpress technique on this design. 18"X24" or 30"X40<br /><br />credit: A modified Stymie HairlineDaniel Dicksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14515216882871447069noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-521354206973595850.post-53932870565995379542010-07-05T12:59:00.000-07:002010-07-05T13:17:47.095-07:00André 3000<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1EMrTch05w9wguhfuZBCjrAZYNTuvcRUubTpoG3AMx8mIS8CVPrN_r4CHDz0I9aya51_4z69H-osF6lbuwVRw-NRqCB1LggkcOtBc45Tr_t6av39UW1aoFkM3Ohy5tzzqsplYAt-6Q_g/s1600/OK-LYRIC-01-01.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 335px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1EMrTch05w9wguhfuZBCjrAZYNTuvcRUubTpoG3AMx8mIS8CVPrN_r4CHDz0I9aya51_4z69H-osF6lbuwVRw-NRqCB1LggkcOtBc45Tr_t6av39UW1aoFkM3Ohy5tzzqsplYAt-6Q_g/s400/OK-LYRIC-01-01.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490518498130098562" /></a><br />Aquemini is one my favorite songs of all time and happens to include a genius lyric by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/André_3000">3000</a>.Daniel Dicksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14515216882871447069noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-521354206973595850.post-5910633581221286682010-07-04T13:39:00.000-07:002010-07-05T19:34:22.958-07:00Happy 4th!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHqXNy0MeL9CbrL6RU_e9dOjP3k40ygNnj18GgU0qxKiGWxeWQlsewX-gatO6hnAk4fh4_KbV5vBkwIzFGcu-7TdPmxgqoLQueTgthDmtJDrGua4doKTcFqeyovcYqrZbZm9VzO3OVvMo/s1600/THE4TH-RVD-01.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 371px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHqXNy0MeL9CbrL6RU_e9dOjP3k40ygNnj18GgU0qxKiGWxeWQlsewX-gatO6hnAk4fh4_KbV5vBkwIzFGcu-7TdPmxgqoLQueTgthDmtJDrGua4doKTcFqeyovcYqrZbZm9VzO3OVvMo/s400/THE4TH-RVD-01.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490615944589572786" /></a><br />If you can guess who this is in the image.
