i couldn’t decide if i should save this photo and recipe to my new bookmarking site or put it here, but i simply couldn’t resist, so here it is. this is something we would do. i hope this link never disappears. if you can’t see the photo below, then the page has disappeared…
saw this on minimalistdesign.org under the “ads” section: brazil flag. and others. you’ll just have to go check it out for yourself to see the other ones. not every flag is on the site, so i went to the siff site and found this and this. i love it because it’s food photography and brilliant design.
(in case either of these web sites go away, here’s the brazil flag again as a screenshot:
Webdesigner Depot’s article: 30+ Great Logos with Smart Concepts
just a friendly reminder that not all logos need to start with a font. it appears that most of these start with a sketch. these are clever. i like them. i aspire to create something like this.
“The irony of commitment is that it’s deeply liberating – in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life.”
i hate to admit that this is a starbucks the way i see it #76. and i realize it’s cheesy. but i can’t help it – it speaks to me.
Have I written about this before? I keep lots of journals. A journal for what I read, for what I bake, for what inspires me. Heck, I even started a web bookmark journal once. How prehistoric is that? I suppose I could’ve been the mastermind behind http://www.delicious.com/ or evernote. In fact, I could still probably come up with an app if I wanted to. But that is not why I’m writing.
I’m writing because now that I’ve lowered my standards and acquired a twitter account, should I also make the leap and join evernote and zootool and take my scrapbooking to the digital level? Do i sign up for a tumblr account, too? I bookmark and save web clips of all sorts of things and it shows in the number of “design ideas” directories I have all over my computer and the design ideas directory in my firefox bookmarks. Speaking of keeping track of one’s bookmarks and inspiration, I also use firefox sync so I can keep track of my bookmarks on every device where i might surf the web. Syncing my safari bookmarks to my various iDevices is probably easier but I use firefox because they had better web developer apps in the beginning and when I only used a PC (gasp!). In fact, Chris Pederick’s web developer toolbar still isn’t available for safari. Why is that? I digress…
Anyway, I have a blog so I can keep everything here. And I don’t want to integrate my web apps with my social networking apps – I don’t want to share or like or be friended or followed. I think facebook and twitter and foursquare and all of the aforementioned companies are probably getting together every month for drinks and golf and to discuss how they can take over the world. In the meantime, maybe I’ll think of and develop an app that makes digital scrapbooking on my blog easier. Or maybe not…
