Hospitality


video by Jessica Amaya

I’ve been really loving the sounds of this band Hospitality. I missed them at their last show at the Rock Shop due to nyc’s monsoon weather. You can download their music for free here, hospitality.bandcamp.com.

Idea execution audit 2011

I just came across this info-graphic by the 99 percent, as I was poking around for some inspiration for a current project. 99% took a poll to ask questions like “How do creative projects really get pushed forward? What tools are you using to manage your time and energy? And: Are the ways we live and work as creative professionals undergoing major changes?” I probably shouldn’t be writing a post right now, as my brain is fried, but I found it interesting to see how I compare with the 99% community.

I also found interesting that 53% of designers rework their original ideas at least 5 times. For me, it varies; I might rework an idea for a client at around 3 times but when I design for myself I usually get bored or think I can do better, which ends up becoming a never-ending process.

You can download the pdf of the info-graphic here.

Under Construction

This is a stellar representation of what the daily grind can do to a girl. Love that her feet are off the ground, love the dress, and love the old-timey briefcase. Where can I get one to corral my inner chaos?

New Six Point Cans

six point cans

Six Point Craft Ales are releasing new cans for their 6th anniversary. Time Out New York has a sneak peak of the cans during production, and a good interview with Shane Whelch of Six Point. I love their beer and enjoy a Sweet Action from time to time. Although I think beer in a can is sacrilegious, I think these cans look pretty sweet.

Amazing and visually pleasing video. I love the cool turquoise throughout with splashes of warmth that add such an interesting dimension.
