I built my career through on-the-job training over the last 20 years. Yes, I have a traditional “creative” direction/education and therefore have a strong foundation in best practices when it comes to things such as color, composition and concept. And when everything comes together correctly, it results in a well-crafted end product.

I know that I've been bad about posting the past two weeks. I've been buried in a ton of interesting things. Let's recap shall we?

Feb 8 Rethinking The Musical Stage: Amon Tobin

Justice Mitchell

Design, Interactive, Music, Technology

I've reported to you my recent education of the modern electronic recording artist. This old dog can indeed pull his head from his ass if given the time and inclination to do so. Therefore, I found myself exploring new artists and came across a recommendation of Amon Tobin. Needless, to say I was stunned when I saw the brilliance not only in his music but the amalgam of talent they've assembled to rethink the physical stage for the artist.

Look at the fantastic group of Type-A brainiacs you gathered around that table to brainstorm the next great Web-based, mobile or tablet application. You have a list of goals, functionality and UI/UX ideas. However, I bet that nowhere on the list is anything about how advertisers will use the tool. But I bet you DID think about how brands will use the tool – didn’t ya?

Jan 18 Diary of a Trend Stalker: Chapter One

Design, Research, Soapbox, Trends

Every day I wake up, look in the mirror and marvel at the gorgeous physical specimen staring back at me. I soak it all in and think about how lucky my wife is to have me. Then I shake off the remnants of that final pre-alarm dream and take another look at the disheveled guy with unruly red locks and badass Jedi boxers. That’s when I see the 40-year-old father of a 4-year-old daughter, a husband, and a friend to what seems to be an endless array of people. I am blessed with innumerable online "F3s" (friends, fans and followers) with whom I feel the need to connect in some way. I also feel hopelessly out of touch.

Dec 28 Movie Titles 2 Die 4: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2011)

Design, Entertainment, Film

The David Fincher (of such films like "Seven") - has now directed ‘The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’ one of the most deliciously anticipated remakes (from the European version) in some time. Why I'm even bringing this to your attention is from the design elements made up in the title sequence. Incredible. The cover of Led Zeppelin‘s ‘Immigrant Song’ was ably revamped by none other than Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.

Brand, Design, Process

Here's a quick checklist presentation I like to show people when they work with me on creating a logo/identity or brand mark. It gives you a good sense of what you should be asking yourself and (often more importantly) what to be asking OF your design team or agency. Hope it helps.

My love affair with bicycles officially started about two years ago. Many of my friends are into cycling, and I owned several bikes in the past. But then the romance got hot and heavy, and I could no longer deny the attraction.
