If you could visit the website of a designer that was mentioned among such greats as Saul Bass and William Caslon then you should visit Milton Glaser’s website. He has made design his medium for life. This is the man behind such images as The I Heart NY logo and the DC comic’s bullet logo used from 1977-2005. Though I have not heard the recognition of the I Heart N Y Logo but I am sure that any one in America can tell you what that logo means. I would assume that it has reached a higher recognition rate than the south western bell logo which in its day was at a 90% recognition. that means out of 100 people only 10 did not know what that logo meant. So here is to you Milton Glaser I can only hope to reach in my carrier the level you have reached in yours and truly we do Heart NY.

Inspiration on hotels

Posted by Aaron Blakeley on Apr 04 2008 | art, concept, coolness, graphic design, interior design

In my quest to utilize this fantastic blog I have on my home page, I will now be posting as often as I can. The topics will be related to the services I provide namely graphic design, photography, illustration, fine art, web design and advertising. Whew. So here is the first of what I hope to be many.

This came up sense I have been down with the traveling bug since I reached the 24th year of living in the same place for well 24 years. “Creative hotel rooms” this place is pretty inspiring and I would love to get my wife to go for some decorations in our house like this but alas we have children and I want then to not think that Dad and Mom are on acid although I think that he already thinks Dad is (what an 8 month old). This room in particular made me laugh

I wish i had some shadowy figure that would come and threaten me when it is bead time. I am sitting at the computer typing or working on the projects I have when he/she emerges from the shadows and in a monotone deep voice simply says SLEEP.

Any way here is the link to the full article and what not

 

Inspiring hotel rooms

 

If you go here you must come and comment on this post so I can know how cool it is.

Does anyone else have trouble decorating there house the way they really want to me and my wife have conflicting ideas of how to decorate but I think that if we could find a happy medium for our styles it would be great. Tell me your stories about decorating and cool or disastrous stuff you have done .

As I always say comment please and if you want to see a comic strip about something put your subject in the comment Thats right comics by request. Also mabey one of these days I will stop piddling around and actually do a full size painting instead of these little ones where I get to cop out on the details.
