Branding Inspiration from Hollywood
Image
Inspiration for developing brands can come from the strangest places. I'm watching a scene from Iron Man 2 and am struck that this is an amazing lesson about the history, hopes, dreams, and limitations of brands. Howard Stark breaks scene and faces the camera: "Tony ... you're too young to... Continue reading

Process Zooming (+ Naming)
Image
Developing a personal, documented, repeatable process is a crucial part of learning in design school. I often say that a potential employer will not necessarily hire you for the good work you’ve done. They’ll hire you for the good work you’ll do for them — and the best way for... Continue reading

Image
At 8ft X 8ft, this is the largest and most ambitious build to date — and also the largest I can make a CSSU based on existing stock limitations... and, come to discover, workshop-space limitations.

Image
