As promised, I have recorded a Halloween song. The song includes the wonderful vocal talents of Kara Senich. She adds a very nice, somber, eerie ambience to the track. Give it a listen below. If you are interested in downloading it, do it for FREE by clicking here.

Match Zimmerman Title Proofs

I was playing around with some title design ideas to be used on my upcoming audio releases, or, perhaps, the title of the website.  The example below is relatively small, so I provided a detail of the design.

Stefan Sagmeister: The Power of Time Off

Inspiring talk from one of my favorite artists, Stefan Sagmeister. The branding design project he shares at around 11:00 minutes is absolutely incredible.

I was watching a Pro Tools tutorial on the Digidesign website when the video glitched. I really loved the patterns, so took a screen cap.

Graphic Design, Referenced (Book Review)

I just received the book Graphic Design, Referenced in the mail and really love it. Below, you can read a review I wrote for it on Amazon.

Book: Graphic Design, Referenced
Authors: Armin Vit, Bryony Gomes Palacio
Cover:


I teach Graphic Design and Digital Media and am very impressed with this book.  I often refer to it and use its examples in my classes.  The book does a wonderful job with laying out the numerous elements of graphic design while providing great examples.  Designer biographies and mini-portfolios are included, as well as categorical breakdowns - album covers, logos, posters, etc.

The book is accessible to those who are just starting out in graphic design, as well as helpful to those who are masters in the field.

The world of Graphic Design can be a bit overwhelming at times, as there is so much information out there.  This book captures all of that information and organizes it into an enjoyable, easily understandable layout.
