Dear Pret-a-Manger Graphics Department …

And speaking of gardening … This is precious.

The Top 10 Things They Never Taught Me in Design School by Michael McDonough

  1. Talent is one-third of the success equation.
  2. 95 percent of any creative profession is shit work.
  3. If everything is equally important, then nothing is very important.
  4. Don’t over-think a problem.
  5. Start with what you know; then remove the unknowns.
  6. Don’t forget your goal.
  7. When you throw your weight around, you usually fall off balance.
  8. The road to hell is paved with good intentions; or, no good deed goes unpunished.
  9. It all comes down to output.
  10. The rest of the world counts.

Poor little lost shoes …

These fabulous and amazing pictures are part of a lost shoe series …

… by an amazing photographer named Rima.
Isn’t art so fulfilling! I feel refreshed …
I feel rejuvenated … I feel … I feel like …
like … SHOE SHOPPING!

The way to rouse a designer is to allow the freedom to create.

I recently came across this art set …
and as a designer I know that I take my art to heart,
and I am destroyed when someone wants to change it,
or simply ignore why I designed something a certain way,
but after seeing these …
I at least know I am not alone in my feelings.
Plus, they made me laugh!
Cheers to all you designers out there. Here’s a giggle.

Happy Friday, Mon Amis!

One of my favorite sorority sisters actually has a related post today,
about respect in the workspace and in life.
Check my buddy K.K. out here.

iWanna win an iPad

I just heard about this contest to win an iPad {contest details) …
I basically need to design something for the back of the device.
And b/c I will never be able to afford an iPad …
this is basically my only chance to have one.
Since the deadline isn’t until April 3rd I was looking for some feedback!
There is a poll. Feedback is easy.
And if you want to share more — comment, darlings.

Thoughts?
