EMERGE SHOW 2009 at LMU

Yes yes this post is a little late. I apologize. For anyone who hasn't been to the EMERGE show yet, GO TO THE SHOW!!!!!!!

There is an assortment of amazing design. It only shows how a simple student can become just as good as some of the professional designers, even though there were a few pieces that had some problems with mounting but nonetheless it was a great show. Some of the pictures that I'm going to show will more than back up what I'm trying to say.

This is just a sample of what was at the show. So go to the show at LMU before its too late!!!!

Very Interesting and informative...

A lot of design that we find interesting comes mostly from magazines, television, books, advertising, and posters. It might just be me but I feel like when I study design I don't pay enough attention to newspaper design. So I chose some very interesting but yet, informative pieces that make newspaper design just as good as a design p. Although the paper is a bit different from good paper the content within the design is what catches my eye. But who knows, this might just be my own opinion... :D

Design Community

With a slowing economy and lack of jobs out in the world, I'm finding it harder and harder to search for jobs. With only a limited amount of resources out there for designers I've come to learn that being a part of the design community will be the only way to advance in this very competitive career. But what does it meant to be part of the design community? This means that we have to attend events with other fellow designers and learn about the newest and latest design trends. I must admit that I don't quite network as much as I should don't pay attention to whats new and popular among other designers. But I do know that later on if I want to find a job in design, the design community is the only way to go in regards to advancing in the world and contributing to the design world.

Great Newspaper Designs

I noticed that a lot of the Newspapers don't really have such great designs in there papers. This is probably because they are using cheap paper or because the designers just aren't trying. But I came across this old book of mine that had some great newspaper designs of 2003 and I wanted to share a few with you guys. Let me know what you think?!

I specifically like the Golf one. It was a really interesting use of type and it clearly defines what the story is about.
