one thing this summer was good for: spending time on design websites and following links without end from the comfort of my own home. i'm calling it preparation. because this year i actually take graphic design classes. even though my ocd design sensibility found its way into just about everything i did foundation year anyway, i am still a little nervous to start taking classes for real. i totally have to step up my game. it's been so nice to kind of just do my thing design wise without judgment or guidelines. but it's time for that to change. it's too easy when it's just on your own terms. i need to add in the pressure of insanely good peers and insanely challenging professors. and i've been told that the technical tricks of photoshop/illustrator/etc. never really get taught. you just have to come in knowing those things. so i'm trying to soak some of this in, without "soaking it in." there are lots of designers (fellow students, recent grads, and old folks) out there doing crazy cool stuff.
so here are the fruits of my summer labors, a short list of people and links...
