The Week in Pictures: 5.28.10

Half of my life is spent doing research.

One of the projects I’ve been working on is a look book and this is some of the inspiration I’ve pulled: an Urban Outfitters catalog page, a Warhol postcard and an Urban Outfitters curtain hang tag. The planner is from the Moleskine Colour A Month Notebooks set.
Yes, those damn tights again.

I cannot stop wearing them! I wore the black version on Wednesday and the nude version yesterday. At the very least, there are way worse vices to have.
I Am a Key USB: Genius.

I was in dire need of a new USB drive and just discovered these clever little LaCie iamaKey devices. 8 GB never looked so stylish! And, it has a hole at the top so technically it can double as a necklace! Modern + minimal = love.
Viva La Rock Posters!

Last night was the Viva La Rock opening and N.E. Alberta was plastered with the posters I’d designed the night before. We enjoyed the company of friends and the general madness of Last Thursday.
I sort of slept in and now I’m off to an agency for the day. Enjoy your weekend!

That USB looks awesome and 8GB, that’ so sexy!

I think you’ve singlehandedly started my burgeoning desire to own a pair of those ridiculously awesome tights. And it’s not like I can find them anywhere else or make them! Ahhh, the AA punctuation tights, how I want. ><

Charlene: I’ve never seen anything else like them. And, truth be told, they’re pretty expensive in my opinion for tights but after the amount of times I’ve worn them, I’m proud to say that they’re still hole free!

How did Joey’s show go? Did he sell a lot of pieces? My friend is getting married in San Diego this summer, but I’m contemplating sending a gift and making the trip to Portland instead…is there a pretty strong Graphic Design community where you are?

Lola: Thanks for asking! He’s sold two pieces so far and still has a month to go….so he’s off to a great start. There’s a HUGE design community here. It can be a little tough to break into but everyone is really tight and very connected. There are a ton of small, independent agencies too. I keep discovering more and more. But to balance that out, there are the really big, international ones like W+K here too. This town is overflowing with creatives. I think you’d like it!

Luana: It’s pretty damn practical. By far the best designed USB device I’ve ever seen!
