UCDA logo
I was browsing design society/organization/association websites for an assignment in my career planning class when I came across UCDA - the University & College Design Association. I have to post their logo here because I absolutely love it, and I don't want to forget.

ways to wear a scarf
i like how she's wearing hers, wrapped around her head. and she doesn't even look like a grandma with a rain bonnet on or like she's going on a drive in a convertible!

A new retail experiment in Hollywood, CA, Space 15 Twenty creates an opportunity for Urban Outfitters to collaborate with creative brands we find inspiring and interesting.
A courtyard leads from each store to an outdoor performance space and adjoining gallery. Both of which encourage designers and artists to become part of a curated environment. Working with neighboring music, film and art establishments, both courtyard and adjoining gallery will present a rotating cast of local musicians and artists.
The Urban Outfitters store will feature one-off installations by a new designer every few months. Alongside the 11,000 square foot Urban Outfitters store, Space 15 Twenty will host a selection of vendors. The revolving brands utilizing these spaces will reflect and compliment Urban Outfitters and present our customers with an overarching view of people and brands which are excited to be aligned with.
um, sweet. really.

I'M NOT THE ONLY BELIEVER!
thank god.
(in response to this post on my other blog: Saturday, September 13, 2008 "print is dead.")
"What are they thinking? Two design magazines, Monocle, a monthly which is now more than a year old, and Design Mind, Frog Design's brand-new three-time-yearly magazine launched last month, have each staked their ground amid cries that print is dead.
Monocle, the brainchild of Tyler Brûlé, who gave us Wallpaper magazine (eye candy for people interested in design), is a serious publication with 16 issues behind it. Brûlé, speaking to us from London, said Monocle is the magazine he always wanted to do. "I am a serious journalist," said Brûlé, a former war correspondent. And serious consumers of journalism want print.
You can dip into Monocle to explore design thinking around the world, but it delves into politics, business and culture as well. In one issue, Monocle dared to suggest that in the age of digital photography, film is not dead. A recent report on the world's most livable cities that goes beyond empty statistics and list-making includes Copenhagen and Munich at the top of a list of 25; Minneapolis and Portland in the United States languish in the bottom half. San Francisco didn't make the list.
Design Mind, published by Frog Design, a Bay Area industrial design firm about to mark its 40th anniversary, is the company's printed answer to blogs and online chatter about design, business and technology, according to Frog spokeswoman Sara Munday. Frog has consolidated its Palo Alto and San Francisco offices in Wired magazine's former digs at 660 Third St. in San Francisco, and Design Mind is the new voice of its designers.
"It's thought leadership," Frog President Doreen Lorenzo said during a recent California College of the Arts gathering. A few international talents are also invited into Design Mind's pages, but the articles do not stray far from Frog studios in San Francisco; San Jose; New York; Austin, Texas; Seattle; Stuttgart, Germany; Milan, Italy; Amsterdam and Shanghai.
The first issue of Design Mind, which costs $13, focuses on the theme of "numbers," using it as a jumping-off point to discuss aging, collectors, slot machines or mobile phones in China. The next issue will focus on motion.
For just $10 an issue, Monocle gives you a younger, broader, more fashionable and entertaining perspective on design as well as serious journalism in words and pictures. You do the math."

creative authenticity
i found this book in my apartment. i don't know where it came from. but i'm reading it.
i just don't feel creative or inventive anymore. i haven't had the urge to make art or do anything, really.
my inspiration has been absent, m.i.a., kaput for months now.
maybe this will be a nice refresher.

I MISS LISTENING TO NEW MUSICSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. It's something that used to make me so happy, and I rarely do anymore. This might be a good way to jumpstart my former hobby.

botanical illustration
These books all shall serve as inspiration & starting grounds on which I'll be designing my next tattoo to add to the garden of flowers I'm already growing up my left leg. I'd like something very delicate and realistic, like a rococco-style rose. Hmmmmm, decisions, decisions.
