Pushing the Gottverdammt Envelope

situational irony.
'Conventional'. lately this word has begun to sting as much as 'uncreative' and 'unoriginal', maybe even to the degree of 'cliche'. however, how does one overcome the conventions to which they are accustomed, and thus evolve?

Catch Up Day

Since I got to Catch up on one hour of Sleep, I figured today would be appropriate to catch up on blogging as well! I woke up in a really good mood - as soon as I was conscious enough, i picked a book up off the floor and was able to read/study a bit. It forebodes well, considering my usual abilities of concentration.
Project one for 2d, set up as it would be glued down on paper (relative to the borders on the cutting board, anyway)

So, for every hour I'm awake Today, a Blog Post! To catch up on work i haven't been posting, and events that you wished happened to you.

Why, Gap, Why???

Gap changed its logo. and it looks like crap.

Prior to this watching parts of Helvetica (the movie) in class, I didn't have a problem with the font, and I still don't. But in the case of this logo (which affects me personally, because i have a part time job at a gap subsidiary) it looks like crap. The old logo felt very mature and respectable, actually reflecting the characteristics for which the clothing brand is appreciated, but this is just so neutral and pales in comparison.
if they had at least gone with a look more reminiscent of the first gap's storefront, it wouldn't be awful. at least that looks modern. Again, in comparison, the helvetica looks tired.(photo courtesy Carnesaurus on Flickr)
And why the tiny gradiated square? It looks shy and uncomfortable in that corner

Classy Classes classify Classiness

New Blog with the Purpose of keeping my Proffesional (ha!) and Personal lives separate. Though i'll probably mention my knitting a lot still.
So far I've been asked to blog for two classes! i was thinking about just using Chow Mein, but i felt this was more appropos to do.

more on the Title later. and class stuff of course.
