CreativeSession on Highlight Reel @ IDF 2011 day one
This is exciting to us over at the CreativeSession lab. The recent wrap-up on a graphic project with Intel had mad love thank you everyone for reading and having a beer with us when it all was over. Back in July we were approached by them to design a huge- 8ft by 24ft collage of San Francisco's landscaped used for a future camera concept they demoed at IDF (intel developers forum) IDF had just ended and some highlight reels have surfaced from the company! Here is a highlight video from day one:
at about 0:50 second you can see a glimpse of the wall. & at 1:20 second you see our friend Lucas demo'ing the product.
for those whom haven't seen the final design here it is again.

Lost my CRAFT!
Horsing around on the inter-web late last night I came upon this wonderful site called INVENTORY. I really appreciate these guys because they remind me a little bit of CREATIVEsession in how they connect with people. They reach out to creative cats whom are makers to awesome shit. These makers are fk*n talented check em out when you get a chance. I've linked their mission statement towards the end of the posting.
Back to my original agenda which was to write about; "CRAFT" The following image was taken from Inventory's site. There are many reasons why I saved this image so Im using it as my blogspiration. (coining this term now!)
1. I feel the chaos and clutter is a good visual representation of my brain. I swear I think of so many things at once I cant really retain half the Ideas that comes into this factory of mine. Although never forgotten they linger and build up like the colorful spools of thread. (i know my thoughts are colorful)
2.I like my home to be organized & clean but at work I expect this. Scraps and boxes and little science experiments everywhere. Unfinished projects that needs a little bit of love & new projects inspired by the random junk sitting around. My work life is a 9 to 5 in front of a computer screen that's complimented by 8.5 x 11 sheets of white paper that I get to doodle on-on occasion. Mostly I do computer CAD work and it kills me (sometimes). I feel like I'm losing my sense of craftiness- the excitement of making , then destroying and rebuilding again. I like the clutter and the chaos and feel like we need to take a step back in our daily routine and remember the craft.
(pours Hennessy on ground to CRAFT)
A little about INVENTORY: ( Taken Via SITE) INVENTORY was created as an extension of the culture and lifestyle we're a part of. We value products and clothing for more than just their appearance, admiring how they're made, by whom, and why. It's through this passion and attention to detail that we view the things in our lives from a different perspective. With a hunger and willingness to learn, we search for the rare, unknown and new, while always remembering tradition and the past. It is with this blend in mind that we explore various niches in menswear to create our own unique aesthetic. We focus on the brands and people, big or small, that have stories we want to tell and might otherwise go unnoticed. INVENTORY's unique content draws us out of our immediate surroundings and leads us into a world of exciting and interesting things.
INVENTORY is a place to take stock of the items, brands and people that we connect with and find special. With a genuine appreciation for details and quality, INVENTORY is a curation of ideas in product, craft and culture.

SparkFire "Quit Daydreaming"
Been thinking about how to improve the design of our latest poster/shirt design as a whole. I'm starting to feel as if this design will only exist as a poster- I can't really see this on a shirt.. maybe i should sleep on it. (note: this is a quick draft so some of the shapes have not been filled in correctly. ) check her:
Quit DayDreaming Design
I spent the last two days sketching and whipping this design out in Adobe Illustrator! ugh!!! what a pain, but finishing it is so satisfying.! Peep:
8 Color Print Coming soon.
So Keith came over last night to brain storms some ideas for his new 8 color press. YES, you heard right we are having an 8 color screen print press - no more of these weak single color prints no mo! We're stepping it up and from the excitement after the meeting I think we've got some pretty sweet designs coming soon.
