An Evening in Douglas

Now that these cold evenings are upon us it's time to find cozy restaurants to enjoy a glass of wine and food by the fire. Be sure to add The Wild Dog Grille to your list. If you head out early enough you can hit up the shops. They have the village all decorated for Christmas already and it's like a storybook.

Musical Inspiration

I love listening to music while I design. Actually I can't design without it. I get in a routine where I keep listening to the same disc over and over. When I'm surfing or Google chatting I can listen to anything and put my itunes on shuffle but when I need to get down to business and really crank out some work I fall back on two discs over and over. The National, The Boxer and Arcade Fire, Neon Bible. If you don't have either of these discs go out and get them today. You'll be amazed what they do to your inspiration and creativity!

Logo on 8th Street

Strolling downtown Holland yesterday I wanted to make sure I made a stop at Greg's Greatlakes Database company to check out the logo I designed a few months back. Pretty cool seeing it on the door right on 8th street!

Presidential Logos & the Red White and Blue!

Amidst all the commercials and ads for the campaign I must say I've enjoyed watching the graphics in the backgrounds of the debates, how all the talk and news shows added political jazz to their sets and how the candidates are using their presidential logos. When doing research on the candidates I was amazed at both Web sites and how well they were done. I was impressed with how Obama's Web site used their logo on their people pages so nicely. So creative and well done caring the logo through to every last piece. Enjoy all the red, white and blue this evening!
