MAKE IT STOP!
My one and only wish for design in 2009 is that designers would stop with the weird "type art." It's not a trend, it never was. It's bad and it makes my eyes hurt. Please go away.
Thanks.

on a lighter note
I've finally come to my New Year's Resolution. Maybe not so such a New Year's Resolution as a life goal. My goal as a designer is to some day be featured in a national magazine as a "Designer to Watch".
Every year in January, my design magazines are touting the People to Watch in (insert year here), or Trendsetters for (insert year here). Every year, I'm insanely jealous of every single designer featured in those magazines. So really, the only way to cure that ridiculous streak of jealousy is to be one of them.
maybe i'm not so bad afterall...
On a day that I'm feeling especially down in the dumps about my design abilities, I find this image posted on The Dieline and the world seems a bit brighter. Last semester in my Package Design we were challenged to produce an entirely new product from an existing brand. My group chose to create the packaging for Optic Adrenaline, energy eyedrops by Rockstar. We ended up using one of the logos I designed, and it looked strikingly similar to the G on these Goundry-G wine bottles, except the G was an O.
And I can't help but note, is it just me, or does that G look slightly "rockstar'ish" for a bottle of wine?

and the angels sang...
Well, the Polaroid angels anyway. Just saw this today posted on Fill/Stroke.com
Essentially, a group called Impossible b.v. has acquired Polaroid's old equipment and factory and plans to re-invent and start production of instant film for vintage Polaroid cameras.
The Impossible mission is NOT to re-build Polaroid Integral film but (with the help of strategic partners) to develop a new product with new characteristics, consisting of new optimised components, produced with a streamlined modern setup.
