Color Theory Diagram
September 9th, 2010
Thought I would share this little ditty. Always was an Ansel Adam’s Zone Theory, and primarily a Black & White system for talking about lightness and darkness in an image. So color for me has always been a bit of mystery. A mystery that always seems to show it’s face when I see how others seem to experience color. Understanding basic theory of how color’s relate is important to me right now, and a fascinating process too. Found this chart, and thought it was informative, as well as a pretty simple design that goes a bit deeper into the relationships.
Interesting Green Promo
September 7th, 2010
An old friend shared me this one on Facebook, and thought it was an interesting piece of “green advertising.” Always been drawn to, and thought provoking design that can actually change the world… and I thought I should say that I am interested in knowing how this would be deemed to work successfully – financially – actively. But definately like this theme and green feel for the whole look and feel – liked it enough to post it here for your review.

Sony Rolly in Motion – Uncut Demonstration 2007
January 18th, 2010
I am not really sure what this is for, but I think it was kinda cool. I do not know if I could spend real money on it, but looks like it would be fun at parties. I still have not seen it in the US market.

Hugo Boss is asking for submissions from design fans, professionals, and students for concept ideas for its Hugo Create contest. Hugo Boss specializes in fragrance products for men and women.
The competition selects 10 winners from each contest round. One winner from the group will have their artwork published in the international urban magazine, i-D. All winners receive a $500 cash award. Other winning designs will be painted on New York building walls during the month of September.
The Hugo Create contest wants advertising poster designs that feature the HUGO Man bottle. The contest theme is “Summer Time.” Examples for this theme are favorite holiday moments, travel locations, or outdoor activities.
All visuals must be submitted electronically as RGB or JPEG files no larger than 500kb. Illustration, photography, painting, or any other medium applicable for visual design is acceptable.
The final format used to publish visuals on the Hugo Boss website is 672 pixels wide by 960 pixels high. Submissions can be in portrait or landscape orientation. If your entry is selected as a winner and is in landscape mode, you will need to turn in a version that is in portrait format.
Entries are judged on the most daring, expressive, and clever designs. Judges will be taking into consideration the uniqueness, quality, wit, and product relevance of submissions.
