Paul Bennett finds design in the details | Video on TED.com

IDEO: branding, using the experiences of the people, putting ourselves in their position and use it to create our own design solutions.

Look at it completely from the view of the user to create an effective and successful Design.

Reconcile the needs of the company, individuals, as well as yourself as a designer.

Planning

I like to be in control of my day and schedule. This economy and semester is truly God's test of my patience and understanding. I don't know from day to day whether Im going to work or not. And never know what's coming up in my creative collaboration class...And who knows how long a design project is going to take. My time is up in the air and up for grabs...yet i seem to have free time because my two part time jobs don't even equal the amount of one right now. I need some money...:(

You Never Know the Impression You Make

Always Greet people with a Smile and Joyful Heart.
Show them Genuine Kindness even if you only Interact for a Minute.
Just becuase in the slight chance, down the road, in the future you might be reacquainted
And Unknowingly you left an impression never to be forgotten

Too Cute!

Is this for Real! Too Cute for Words! I think I want one as a pet!

New Technology...

I started a Twitter Account, opened a skype account (to keep in touch with my siblings who are off at school and Switzerland), have been documenting images and ideas on Evernote in addition to my facebook and LinkedIn accounts. I heard that one of my classes next semester is going to require/encourage us to use all of these and more...so I thought i would get a head start.

Plus it is a GREAT way to stay organized and have a backup of everything I work on!

Organized Life




An image to jump off...

Begining this Blog in regards to my FIRST true Masters Class; MID530 Creative Collaboration.


It was suggested that we start a blog to organize our trains of thought, our threads from one idea to the next. This blog is to keep track and have a timeline of my thought processes and my twisted jumps from one idea to the next!
