It’s Not Rocket Science

I just read this interview with a rocket scientist on The Art of Manliness which I found very inspiring and the conclusion was surprisingly fitting for a graphic designer:

Thus, the most valuable thing that I have learned over the years is not technical knowledge, but rather the application of knowledge to achieve an end. The value is not the man who has all the technical knowledge, or even brilliance; the value is the man who can apply that knowledge to produce a tangible result, and that knowledge need not necessarily be his own. In other words, be the man who can make things happen, who can produce a result, who can organize, lead, and bring a vision into reality. Far too many men get lost in the process of what they are doing, and lose sight (or, too often, never have it) of what they need to accomplish, create, or produce. And remember that the value of what you produce cannot be determined by yourself, or your organization, but only on the outside of it, by those that use your product.

Words to live by.

New York, New Work

I’m sitting in the BHM airport, waiting to get on a plane for New York. Just added some new work to the Portfolio section of the site.

Ape on the Moon

I just wrapped up some web design for Ape on the Moon, a contemporary illustration blog and print shop based out of London, UK.

Limitations

Here’s another letterpress print from my internship at Amos Kennedy’s.

Updates

Oh, hello again. I must apologize for my lack of frequent updates. I need an intern to do this kind of stuff! I’m currently working on a lot of things: tweaking old projects, getting new clients, letterpress, and making new work. I’m also working on a store so you guys can snag some of the posters I’m making. Graduation is less than three months away. <3. But before I get ahead of myself, I need to finish my homework. Thank you thank you thank you for stopping by… and stay tuned!
