ERASE! START ALL OVER AGAIN!

Picture yourself sitting in front of a sheet of blank paper: Once you draw a line you already tend to erase it – starting all over again ...

This will go on for quite a while until you are happy with the result you've achieved. If – after various attempts – you are not going to be happy you will very likely also use some sources of inspiration to develop your idea.

A way which to me is absolutely okay since probably nobody will never be able to reinvent the wheel whatsoever! [Anyway you of course should be very sensitive on this issue – »Yes sir, very certainly, sir! I'll never copy anything, sir!« ;o)]

Well, all the above is part of a process which should be very common to all us designers out there and even though sometimes it's hard to find the right idea it's fun and the only one basis that applies to every kind of creative work we do ...

Now, if you are ever about to create a new logo here's probably one of the best résumés on recent logo-design (short, simple and quite much to the point) you may find on the web just in order to verify sketch.

So cross-check you work and keep on scribbling ;o)

A BEAUTIFUL WALLPAPER ...

... should be used to decorate naked concrete! The result one will achieve when papering walls is a cosy home! Very simple!

But why is it that lately you guys don't show up with any decorative ideas for this blog nor leaving any comments!?

Come on you fools – life's too short for grey concrete only, is it? Bring in some colour again, please!

Cheers ...

HOLY CRAP!

Click here to have a big grin on Marc's odd sense of humour and get exited about what you can express by using a pencil and a watercolour set the way he does!

Thanks Marc!

SEASONS CHANGE!

Although the sky is tinted so blue days here in Hamburg are growing shorter and shorter! Very soon all the leaves will change their colour once before they start to fall!

But hey – there's no need to bow your head for it's only autumn not winter. If you are lucky there're some bright afternoons left before nasty drizzle comes ;-)

ART IN THE CITY




When you stroll through the Hafencity these days you will suddenly discover some large stacks of rusty containers – irregularly arranged and beautifully lit. A faint smell of a hearty BBQ will be in the air as well as some subwoofers will be pumping low. Finally you will learn that you are on subvision art festival.

For one week a good bunch of young artists are showcasing their work on 33.1 m³ each at this special site right next to the Elbe. Some works are really inspiring and it rather should be fun to meet up some friends having a small chat ...

RAP IN THE CITY

While Jule is listening to a lot of Jazz recently I decided to have a closer look on Hip-Hop music again.

Since I wanted to see whether there is some progress in some artists careers I bought amongst others the latest records by Mos Def and B-Real two artists I used to listen to all my younger days.

I learned that they indeed were undergoing a certain development. But even though they for sure came up with two nicely-mixed records – to me their music is not that thrilling any longer.

Or is it that I simply like the older records so much more because they trip me down a dim memory lane ;o)

Make your mind up yourself – this is just if you like to ...

... AND EVEN MORE!


Ok, then here's another post on graffity! It's a piece I found when we stayed in the Netherlands a few month ago. A piece – which even though it seems to be a commercial work – I pretty much like!
This dutch guy also has a quite nice portfolio ...

Enjoy ...
