“[T]here are still two really important things that can’t be commoditized. Fortunately, America still has one of them: imagination. What your citizens imagine now matters more than ever because they can act on their own imaginations farther, faster, deeper and cheaper than ever before— as individuals. In such a world, societies that can nurture people with the ability to imagine and spin off new ideas will thrive.”
My poor blog has had no love for two months. I’m afraid I’m going to have to put this thing on hiatus. With my current job, I just don’t have as much time (or energy) to put into this blog as I’d like to. Not sure how long it’ll be– at least until I can figure some things out. I haven’t even been able to update my portfolio, but hopefully I’ll be able to do that much. Thank you if you’re still checking in.
Lately, I’ve been really interested in store window designs, or rather, the designs on the store windows. There’s a lot you can do to play with light. Take for instance this door at Starbucks– when seated on the couch or at a nearby table, the hands seem to be reaching out to you on the floor, leading your eye to the door and sales point: the Starbucks Rewards Card.
Even something as simple as decals on a door with business hours becomes interesting when the type casts a shadow on the wall behind the door.
Have you spotted some interesting window designs/decals?
Everybody check out the BARK About Healthcare Blog. Molina Healthcare, where I currently work, is a member of the BARK consortium, and I designed and developed the blog in Wordpress. The blog is for people who are seeking government and other health and financial resources they might need after being laid off or if they’re having financial troubles. BARK’s being piloted in Missouri, and if it takes off, there’ll be a BARK for other states as well!
