Finding Clarity in a Noisy World
What is it that drives you? What is it that causes you to react to your emotions the way that you do? Is it psychological? Maybe necessity? Age? Experience? Ego? Whatever it is, are you reacting in a manner that is constructive to not only your own progression but that of those close enough to [...]
Defining the Lines of Graphic Design
I have recently read a few articles discussing the titles that go along with the “graphic designer”, unfortunately the one that stuck out in my head the most, I could not find… (Twitter search fail) but that’s ok, that only means I am forced to rely strictly on my own beliefs rather than make comparisons [...]
Photoshop Movie Poster Fun
I was having a conversation on Facebook with an old high school friend the other day, just reminiscing and catching up. At some point on the wall-to-wall, Photobucket was brought up, (an online image storage site) and it was used in context like I had never heard it used before… as an image editing application? [...]
Logoall Web Site
A lot of internal changes have taken place at my day job in the last year, one of them being a complete restructuring of the companies objective and bringing all of the services we offer into one main brand, also know as Logoall Branding Agency.
Logoall used to be divided into 3 separate entities: WebMediaRx, [...]
Mill Avenue Directory Brochures
Two months, a 100mb Adobe Illustrator file, a computer upgrade, 50,000 revisions, and a slight delay from the print press… and the Mill Avenue directory brochures are complete!
It was a battle at just about every turn; the map alone (the 100+mb Illustrator file) pushed my 32bit XP machine to its limits, resulting in an upgrade [...]
5 Reasons You Shouldn’t Follow Someone on Twitter
The following post is nothing more than my subjective opinions based on observations I have made over the last year on Twitter, it is not meant to help increase your followers or make you a social media guru… there are already enough know-it-alls making that claim as it is.
I have witnessed a lot of people [...]
Sertifi Web Site Design and Devlopment
Got a referral from a good friend of mine (Chuck Reynolds) for a company in his home town (Chicago) needing a web site. After spending the last month-in-a-half in Illustrator and Indesign, Photoshop was a welcome change. This is concept number one for a streamlined, electronic signature company looking for a “big business” appeal and [...]
Mill Avenue District Map Directory
Volunteering your services to a community has certainly opened up some new opportunities and the chance to explore some creative aspects of myself that have never been challenged. I have never doubted my imagination, but like a lot of “graphic designers”, I am not naturally gifted when it comes to fine art, however… the constant [...]
Music on Mill Branding Campaign
So, following the great feedback received from the MADCAP Branding Campaign, the client was anxious to get moving on their next effort to revitalize the Mill Avenue Districts culture scene. The next item on the block was a little project called “Music on Mill” and like all branding campaigns, the logo design was first up.
Concepts/Ideation [...]
Out With the Old!
PaulSutton.us was overdue for a design update and ready to utilize the power of Wordpress a little more than I previously had. My last design was my very first attempt at integrating a design into Wordpress and I have since learned how to work with all the .php includes instead of just around them.
Instead [...]
