Molly Crabapple Business Cards by Nubby Twiglet

Catching up on back reading and came across these business cards designed by Nubby Twiglet and had to share.

Last week, I designed these double-sided business cards for Molly Crabapple. Molly is an award-winning artist, author, and the founder of Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School that learned to draw in a Parisian bookstore. And, The New York Times once labeled her a ‘Downtown Phenomenon.’ We’ve met on many occasions and I can vouch for this claim! I thought the quote was so awesome that I had to include it on her cards.

Color Theory for Designers

color star

I was reading an interesting article on Smashing Magizine’s website and thought I would share it with everyone.  It talks about the use and meaning of colors in web design.

Twitter Lists

Twitter recently added an awesome feature called list which basically allows you to group together twitter feeds to follow in one category.  I went ahead and made a graphic design list for myself and figured I’d share it with any random that happens to come across this.  Needless to say, there are much more twitters to gather on this list, so if you have any suggestions on who else should be added comment here or hit me on twitter

Techmode 1.1??

That’s right, I think I earned that .1, finally updated wordpress 2.8 and picked a new theme. I chose this one because its simple and I would say elegant, plus it offers me the ability to learn to properly edit css. I know the basics but I plan to actually relearn everything css based, this being one of the areas I’m seriously lacking. Stay tuned to the newly upgrade Techmode 1.1 for more ramblings and hopefully an awesome update on the background for this theme.

Feels like I’m back

I feel like i’m back one more gin, I won’t even promise to update more, but I actually feel that I will.  I don’t know why but I actually feel like I have something to talk about now thanks in large part to my muse.  So rather than talk about something sappy and things I’ll just repost something i read about on the blog fuel your interface: three big mistakes that can make or break your design career

I agree with all three of these and I’m very guilty of the first one.  I have been doing school for the past couple years and yes the schedule has been awful but I could have been doing much more than bitch about the fact that I’m in the 2nd year of graphic design classes and just now taking a photoshop class.  Time to get on the ball, the world is passing me by.

The First Modded Standard Edition SF4 Stick Appears

Very nicely done and he explains in depth what he did which helps me a lot especially as I like to change my art up every now and again.  As soon as I get my stick from a good friend who was nice enough to preorder it for me so  could I pay him later I’ll get to work on mine. Pictures of the art I plan to use and of the kof stick after the jump. If you like his stick and how it came out go here to see how he did it. More >
