Playlist: Toronto

School is finally out for summer and I couldn't be happier. Having had time to take some very long, much needed breaths of fresh air, I'm happy to say that upon revisiting my thesis  project, on this sunny afternoon, I am still quite pleased with the outcome. I'm working away on a brand new portfolio and website so stay tuned for some more information on the project. Until then, I hope you enjoy this little touch of Graphic Porn. 

Special thanks to Steven Lee of Silhouetted Skyline for the inspirational photography and to Toronto for being a city full of adventure.

Appreciation

 

I stayed up last night making these Valentine's day cards for the special people in my life. To friends, family, lovers and all of YOU, Happy Valentine's day. 

I appreciate you.

Cat's Cradle

"Love is space and time measured by the heart"

I was asked to create a space for dreaming, living & learning. My theory is that if we dream all the time, we can learn from our dreams and live our dreams.

Buildings for Music

I had my first hand in for my thesis project on Thursday. It basically consisted of my proposal and some background research regarding my topic: "Buildings for music". Above are a few of my most successful pages. The Goal is to create "Spaces that hear" where the user is able to engage with music and the sounds of the metropolis.

This morning, I grabbed a coffee and walked to the subway to head to work with the hum of St. Vincent for company. Despite the spiraling winds and the snow melting on my nose, I couldn't help but smile to myself as Annie sang: 

"Marry me, Jon

Marry me, Jon

I'll be so good to you"

As you move about your neighborhood, how does music or the sounds of your city effect your perception of space, time and people?

Projections of the future

In Process

I finally finished this semester on Monday. I was up all night on Sunday working away like little elf in the studio. The topic was PROCESS: how it aids us and its relevance both inside and outside of the design community.  We filmed our peers and faculty within my design school to find answers to these questions in hopes a making a short documentary next semester.

After having time to let my thoughts gain some clarity, a few ideas on my own personal process have begun to resonate. It's the second consecutive semester where I'm quite happy with the work that I have produced. I feel quite confident in my ability to provide creative design solutions both two dimensionally and three dimensionally . I  never really thought of this until now but.... 

 "I think I could be a great designer. There, I said it. Sue me" Here are a few pages from the book I designed and  submitted in collaboration with Rabab Ali "These follies of Mine"  and Jacqueline Kay "BLAHg". Both of their blogs are worth checking out if you haven't already done so.

December

It's the response to grace that is most admirable.

Nature has such treasures just outside of my humble world of bright lights and the high rise.

I came across these wonderful playing cards this evening while procrastinating. I think they're fantastic! I've always wanted to design a set and I finally feel inspired to do so.

Hello 2011, I have big plans for you ♥

PS. Happy Sunday!
