Behold ... Another Blog

03.05.2008

Hello, my name is Stephen and this is my shiny new blog.

I have long since been passive aggressive about people and their blogs. At one point, I went so far as to say ... I hate blogs. I never thought I would be launching one or reading the ones I do. They seemed too self interested. Maybe I was wrong.

All that to say ... what I once wrote off as a self-obsorbed hobby is now something I see great value in. This blog will be about design, or some facet of it. The beauty of design is that it relates to everything. So don't expect to read entries about new PS tools or drop-shadow techniques ... I'm more interested in the broad picture ... design equity, icons of my childhood, design trends, typography, how to make a living as a designer and the like.

If it weren't for design (and the money it reaps) I'd be gallivanting around the country hiking, cycling, and kayaking. Sometimes I forget that design, in a lot of ways, can be just another job. It is what you make of it. There are utopia days and there are sweat-shop days ... all in all, design makes me happy.


This is what I am expecting.
