Super Bowl XLIV: From a Designer’s Perspective
Feb 5th 2010 by
Super Bowl XLIV has been analyzed, dissected, examined, studied, and picked apart from every angle possible to see which team is superior. Though I love sports, I am by no means an expert on the subject, so I decided to examine the two teams from a unique perspective, the Designer’s Perspective. I have always thought that the right colors, style, and logo can give any company that “it factor.” Design can go out of just the graphic and web worlds, and into almost any facet of life. Thus, I decided to look at these two teams, the New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts, from the Designer’s Perspective, by looking at their official logo, additional logos, team colors, and all in all style. All images and team colors are copyrighted by the NFL. Enjoy! And as always, please feel free to leave your comments, as they are always welcome, and enjoy the game!

0Be Creative to Help Haiti: What Will You Do?
Jan 31st 2010 by
More than two weeks after a 7.0-magnitude earthquake rocked the impoverished Haiti, destroying buildings and killing hundreds of thousands of people living in the small country, to this date people are still wondering what they can do to make a difference. This disaster touches me on a personal level, because Haiti shares the island of Hispanola with my home country of Dominican Republic. Growing up less than 250 miles from the capital of Haiti has made me want to help my Haitian neighbors in the most meaningful and appropriate ways, but I find myself limited by my own financial abilities. Even though more than two weeks has passed since this catastrophe, people are continuing to die of disease, starvation, and lack of health care. Moreover, volunteers are being limited by lack of supplies and funding.

215 Outstanding Sites Using Texture
Jan 20th 2010 by
In previous posts, we have hit on various aspects of graphic and web design from color to fonts to layout. Texture is one of those graphic elements that, if used correctly, can really make a good design great or a great design exceptional. Texture is a way to truly invoke the senses and make your design come to life, and it is actually used in all of our design work whether we know it or not. Texture can be actually or visual; however, if done correctly, the visual texture can be just as powerful as the real thing. With actual texture, we can move our fingers across a page and actually feel the smoothness, roughness, or silkiness of the texture itself.
