Long time coming

I made money when I was in grade school doing letterings and drawings for my classmates.I remember sleeping at twelve midnight for my classmates' assignments to be ready the following morning, (going to bed at 12 is a no-no for a 9 year-old boy) wakes up at 6, go to school by 7am, buy food during recess at 10, from the payment I have received from them! It makes them happy, it makes me happy. Those were the days. . .

My graphic design learning has begun.

School days have passed. All creative longings are being done manually. No computer, no programs. Just an old school camel hair brush, hardware paints and plywoods.

Then, the haitus. . .

The next scene; Landscape Designer, work in garden maintenance for a decade, (voluntary and otherwise), got married, baby didn't come for twelve years. . .

But the itch needs to be scratch.

'It's been almost four years of digital design experience and I would say its been a wonderful ride. Good things happen to those who adapt to the new and bold ways of looking and doing things.'

New things may come and go. But the passion resides in the heart.

It was, it is, it will ever be . . . forever.

Logo Design Inspiration

Let's admit it. Design inspirations from any (conceivable&unconceivable) sources are always most welcome to fuel our design passion and to keep the fire burning as they say. Even the pain can be a source of inspiration, say that to Mr. Jon Bongiovi. Devoid of inspirations, an artist may find himself tight and locked up.  As I dug into the design minefield, I found these two very interesting collection of Logo Designs that will surely save yourself from missing the deadlines and costly graphic design books from Fully-Booked, National Bookstore and Powerbooks. Eighty designs. Just Two Links . Consult them often.

Old vs New: Logo Re-Creation is the Fad!

If you look around, someting is happening in the creative world that keeps the designer's coffee hot and warm. Everybody is in the Logo Makeover mode! well, not everybody. But in the local and international scene, a changing 'brandscape' is happening just under the hood. Pepsi has just quietly launched the new and modern Pepsi which keeps the debate still raging on on the critical mind's who's who of the design industry. The mortal question is still in the oven and on fire, What do you think of the new Pepsi Logo? Which is better, the old one or the new one? The Pepsi debate 'war' is not over yet and look who's in the arena; Seattle Best Coffee! I have here the image of the New vs the Old Logo of Seattle's Best Coffee grabbed from http://www.fastcompany.com/1651634/seattle-s-best-coffee-logo-is-a-blend-of-the-bland for you to see and decide which of the Logos represent the Brand very well.
