Veronica Hdz MunchiesOnWheels.com

Ok y'all. I'm having some trouble pinning down a design. So I would like to get your first impressions: Without knowing what the company does, what do you think of when you hear "munchies on wheels"? What images, fonts, colors, associations do you make? I'm gathering ideas from everyone where I can, so once I have something to show I'll be hoping to get feedback on that as well. The company is a cultural reference to "meals on wheels" and the cannabis community. It's a delivery service that pro… Continue

Sebastian Where are you most inspired?

I feel most inspired at 2 places: 1) At my desk when I sit back and close my eyes while enjoying electronic/ambient music. 2) Outside - in the mornings when I take a 30min walk/bike. Here is an article where 30 designers answered this question. View Article So what about the FDA Members. Where are you most inspired? Continue

Veronica Hdz MeetUp.com

I'm seriously considering creating a web/graphic design group on meetup.com. The only reason I hadn't was because it actually costs money to start a group, then I got this email today giving me 50% off. So that sounds like a good deal... now all I have to do is summon the courage and willpower to devote a day to meeting with other people and tear apart their designs. Because you see, I don't want a group t… Continue

If you've spent any amount of time in the industry you've most likely been asked this common question: What is graphic design? So it came as no surprise to me when I discovered that it is the number one question people type into search engines containing the keyword "graphic design". Skimming through the latest article feeds in feedly this morning, I came across How To Gen… Continue

Veronica Hdz Man. I'm getting screwed.

I worked as a freelance Creative Director for a company a little over 2 months totaling approx. 175 hours. I was to be paid per event (either 10%-15%) but as events went by many of them got canceled or I was not informed of the outcome. I did all work for events. I created all of the fliers, collateral, print pieces and promotion material for each and every event given. The fact that they could not follow through on events is not the Creative Directors' responsibility. As a Creative Director I d… Continue

Katrina Neufeld Getting super psyched about Modern Dog Design Co.

I was just poking around the interwebs and came across this write up about Modern Dog from AIGA:
Come out and enjoy an evening of story-telling with Michael Strassburger and Robynne Raye of Seattle based Modern Dog. Their heady mix of intuitive design, cheeky humor and punk rock aesthetics has made them unique among design firms, and a hell of a lot of fun. Their work is often seen in the rock poster arena, but they cover a much larger social terrain and have that rare ability to add
