I’m currently listening to the audiobook of The Shack. I’ve been told by a lot of people it’s great and I’ve liked it so far. One of the ideas put forth is God being proud of the work we do, like a parent of any child would be.
I look at my kids. They bring me [...]
Interesting things I’ve found lately:
WhereWeDoWhatWeDo.com
My new favorite site. I have this odd obsession with seeing pictures of people’s workspaces. It’s even better with all the Apple products and cool desks around. When I get my office cleaned (finally) I’ll put mine on there too.
Los asks, Cute or Disturbing?
I say very cute with just a pinch [...]
I’d like to say when I was designing the logo for WeTheChurch.org I put a ton of thought into it.
The truth?
I had one thought. Knowing that Twitter was going to be a huge part (if not the biggest) of the interaction with the site, I wanted a logo that would stand out on the “friend [...]
A couple of weeks ago I had the honor of shooting a group of Vietnam veterans who do old West reenactments for the Bygone Days in Stephenville. These guys were a lot of fun and really have a passion for what they do.
You can view the rest of the pictures here.
And my favorite shot of [...]
This is what I worked on yesterday.
Did you do anything interesting?
Today’s Creative Chaos topic: Outside the office, where do we find our personal creativity?
Me? I’ve found the location doesn’t matter so much as who’s there. There is nothing that gets me in the creative mood better than sitting around a table with other creative people talking ideas.
So I guess my place is around a table [...]
The universe is spinning out of control.
As I write this, there are two guys in a basement in Atlanta playing ping pong. And I’m watching them live.
Why? I’m honestly not sure, but it’s compelling.
Using the technology from Mogulus.com, Los is transmitting live from the basement. And it is an intersection of all things web 2.0. [...]
So we’ve talked about what a pain clients can be when it comes to design. They don’t alway know what they want. And sometimes they do know what they want…and it’s bad.
But here’s something you have to realize. The client is not the enemy. So often designers will take jobs and they feel like the [...]
A little sneak peak at the cover for the latest issue of The Business Journal. It should be available later this week in the Erath/Hood County area.
On a side note, the colors aren’t quite right on the shot above. I think I forgot to convert it from CMYK to RGB before uploading it to Flickr.
A very cool ad campaign for Star Wars on SpikeTV.
This looks very interesting.
I love seeing churches come together.
Adobe launches Photoshop Express online.
I haven’t tried it yet, but the idea of a stripped-down, but free version of Photoshop online is interesting. Just remember, it does not make you a designer.
Twitter saving lives.
Told you it wasn’t useless.
Field [...]
After last week and this weekend, I’m tired. Hopefully I’ll get some rest this week.
In between getting rest, I’m also hoping to get completely caught up before the next big project hits.
The latest issue of The Business Journal comes out next week.
Pastoring at a small church is exhilarating, frustrating and challenging all at the same [...]
And now a post for aspiring designers.
One simple lesson you need to learn:
Photoshop does not make you a designer.
Buying Photoshop will not make you a designer.
Learning to do a drop shadow in Photoshop will not make you a designer.
Photoshop is a powerful tool to enable design, not design itself. You want to be a designer? [...]
I just finished a huge design project last week and I’m in the middle of another one this week. This has me thinking a lot about the art and business of design. Over the next two weeks I’ll have a few posts targeted at designers, people who want to be designers and people who want [...]
Tony bought the entire staff subscriptions to Leadership magazine. I got my first copy in a couple of weeks ago and started thumbing through it. The first 20 pages or so were ads for seminaries. This got me thinking about education in general.
Growing up, I hated school. It never grabbed me. I only excelled at [...]
On a rainy Sunday afternoon I met Jessica and Will for an engagement session. We headed to Lakeway to shoot at the park and somehow ended up on a golf course. We had a blast with everything from playing on the playground to trying to chase uncooperative ducks to teaching Will how to push someone [...]
