From the shameless self-promotion files

By theogeo | by theogeo

(Cross-filed in the shameless friend promotion cabinet) Check out these sweet page designs featuring Shane McDermott’s artwork. The Facebook page is my favorite, even though Shane had to bust ass to get it done on deadline since his original sketch was lost to the ether thanks to some kind of shitty Illustrator-related technical glitch. Shane, when he reads this post, will probably leave a comment saying that he likes the Facebook illustration, just not as…

Taming of the shrew

By theogeo | by theogeo

That sound you hear is this week sucking the life out of me. It’s been … not great. Apparently my karmic retribution for being in a horrible mood midweek was to turn the tail end of the week into my own private failfest at work. I got called on the carpet for my participation in this conversation, and I can’t say I don’t see why. I’m an asshole! I don’t mince words! I speak to…

Day 251: Type

By theogeo | by theogeo

I’ve carted this poster around with me for years. I love it. It’s for a photo exhibit that was at MSTU’s gallery. Margaretta Mitchell was the photographer. I didn’t see the exhibit; I just wanted the poster. It’s beautiful. [Project 365]

Day 56: Don’t Give Up

By theogeo | by theogeo

Lots of stuff happening, swirling around the glass, catching the light. I like it when my brain is occupied, and I like it even more when lots of different parts of my brain are occupied. Less risk of grey-matter atrophy then. Tonight I spent a hefty portion of time reacquainting myself with Flash, after a multi-week hiatus. Lucky me, I got to dink with Flash 4 rather than the Flash 2 I was “trained” in.…

Day 37: Student for a Day

By theogeo | by theogeo

So I slept an hour last night and got up at 6:30 this morning. I can guarantee I won’t make that mistake again tonight; I am already crashing big time and I’ve taken NyQuil to make sure I don’t wake up for eight hours. If that doesn’t work then I am going to be in a lot of trouble tomorrow. It would probably involve a lot of car crying. This morning I made it to…

Day 30: Chompers

By theogeo | by theogeo

Sometimes you go to work and one of your assignments is to photograph plastic teeth. Which is one of the deliciously random reasons that I love what I do. [Project 365]

One of my fabulous birthday gifts this year was a mouse (a wireless Mighty Mouse to be precise), which means I can finally get back on a proper design horse rather than the rickety little pole-with-a-mop-on-top I’d been using as a horse since I got this laptop. I don’t know about y’all, but I can’t design for shit using a trackpad. I mean, it’ll do in a pinch, but I’m kind of a mouse girl.…

The afterglow

By theogeo | by theogeo

All morning (okay, all three hours I’ve been up), I’ve been crawling all over the interwebs, devouring everything I could find about what happened last night. The whole Proposition 8 nonsense out in California is dampening an otherwise banner day. But as other people have pointed out quite eloquently and diplomatically, tides turn — Obama’s parents’ union was illegal in many states at one time and now look how far we’ve come — and social…

‘Tennessean’ redesign to focus on Deadhead subscribers

By theogeo | by theogeo

Click to embiggenate Many days, I like to snort a big fat line of newspaper nerdery and check out the day’s front pages at Newseum. And some days, I notice that The Tennessean‘s page is all wacky, like the file got corrupted or something during its trip from the Nashville office to the Newseum office in D.C. Today was no different, except that I found the Nashville paper’s design to be delightfully trippy and abstract…
