Fireplaces- Bringing Modern to the Great Outdoors

So, yes, it’s been a very long time since I made my last post to my design blog. Between my day job doing user experience design for a local education technology company (can’t name them or the social media police from there will bug me about it tomorrow), enjoying quiet time with my beautiful wife [...]

I like this film.

The Third and The Seventh. Being that my background covers photography, architecture, CGI and film-making (and all professionally at one time or other in my life) this film is a great example of how the 4 can be combined nicely and artistically. Enjoy.  

Secret Volcano Lair for Sale

Interior Design — Mid-century Modern

A great site I highly recommend is modernsandiego.com. Though the site itself could stand for a more modern/user friendly design, it does provide some [...]

A Film Any Designer Should See

This looks like it will be a great film for designers, architects, photography buffs, and just [...]

Architecture: Fast Food Chains and going retro

Like most Americans, I like an occasional burger from some fast food joint, whether it be McDonald’s, Jack in the Box, Carl’s Jr. or Wendy’s. Being this is a design blog, I won’t comment on the food. Everyone knows pretty much what to expect from these fine dining establishments. What I want to focus on [...]

Web Design Part 2 – Color

There seems to be a lot of people who like to design web sites, and or anything else, that don’t understand color theory. Let it be known that knowing color is very important in any design work, whether web, logos, print, even painting your house or office – if they let you have more than [...]
