in a courier mood.

well, one might have noticed that i have gone sometime without updating this blog of mine. i've been inexorably busy/swamped as of late with all my going ons—school and work and what little sleep i manage to accumulate in between. the bright side is that i've amassed a collection of work that i am very proud of. maybe i'll have a website to showcase it all sometime soon. 

here is something i wrote. it is my design philosophy/statement of sorts.

pre·pared      

–adjective

1. properly expectant, organized,or equipped; ready.

“The hike, the wilderness journey, the camping experience--—this is never haphazard business.”

 

Preparations are carefully made, the planning imagery.  The process of design is one wrought with pitfalls of misuse and misinterpretation. Like when in the Great Outdoors, one needs to be prepared to deal with all sorts of wrathful elements in order to breathe easy and take in the beauty. You cannot appreciate design if it kills you to make.

A designer cannot afford to be only an artist and shouldn’t think him/herself as such. In order to know our field we must first know the world; its history and people. One must be conscious and concerned, or otherwise be stuck—ill-fated with a fleeting perspective. A general knowledge is paramount to know what is appropriate and how to skew the limits of ordinary perception.
