what on earth is a girl to do when she questions what she is doing with her life? does graphic design help the world in any way? am i part of an evil system that compounds and festers all that lies in its path? is this my calling? does destiny exist? if i am to be the best person i can be without enlisting in the US reserves, is graphic design the career path for me?
at the moment, i have no answers. i'm pondering. and when i freak the funk, i take to the book. some like to drink. some like to smoke. i like to turn pages. it's what academic freaks like me turn to.
here are three books i found amidst the disastrous pile of my unused desk in my studio.
Each day our world changes, the old quickly vanishing, displaced by inspired new designs, new perspectives and brilliant imaginative creations. Society seemingly demands it, our fascination and appetite for embracing the new apparently endless. Who of us is not awed by the scale of Dubai’s architecture, amused by the latest television commercial, drawn to the value and logic of the Prius Hybrid automobile or the aesthetic and functional design of Apple’s iPhone?

Nufabric is an unfinished visual orgasm. We leave the opportunity of the finishing touch to our viewer. We engage him intellectually and visually, so he can finish what he sees. We are slaves of the simple and effective forms, mixing them with mostly ironic and direct concepts illustrated with the usage of abstract and minimal shapes in co-operation with typography, soft or pale color combinations and negative space.

Dope, right?
