but how can you not say all design is not graphic design.
Because it isn’t.

“don’t do what the customer wants; do something better.”
I think you could say that this means that you expound upon what the client wants. I don’t like the idea of creating a design in “my image”…haha. I think a good designer should be able to incorporate what the client wants while creating a vision that they can get behind. Could I do this?…[Read more]

Seriously…Lily is right. I would LOVE to use a pirate font if I was designing a pirate themed park and it worked. Why not?

Thank you for your concern.
I didn’t say I don’t LIKE graphic design I said I don’t believe all design is graphic design.
 
Like someone mentioned on here previously a good designer doesn’t even need a computer to get their ideas across. I believe it was Olmsted’s son that sketched out the lay-out for the University of Idaho’s grounds on a…[Read more]

haha…I mean…this is serious business!

You never took a hand graphics class or photoshop? I find that hard to believe. Go UI! haha.

No! To your question is this graphic design…unless you are designing space for Clue or Tron. haha. Oh man. I can just picture you…what we are going to design a park? Okay…let me see here…which font best says…. Really? I don’t want to be a graphic designer…I like to see beautiful spaces for people to interact with each other, nature and…[Read more]

I like this too. These are just tools to get ideas across. The words should be legible and should not distract from the message they are relaying…your design and how it will be used.
We visited a large firm in Seattle and one of the principles spoke with us about hand graphics. He said that not only can he not use ACAD very well…but he is…[Read more]

I have to say…it warms my heart to see the men that were seriously agitated enough to try to stop a man with an ax! Including trying to wrestle it from him.

haha

Do you think Moses was using any of these fonts? haha. I think he was more into etching…in stone…haha.

What work have you done? Just wondering in case we have more work…if we get a couple more jobs we are going to be looking for another person. Should add…we are design/build…so landscaping.

haha…well I never knew Roland was such a common name! haha. They generally visit the big firms over in Seattle…EDAW (are they still there?), The Berger Partnership, The Portico Group, SiteWorkshop…that is all I can remember right now. My husband actually walked into 18 firms in Seattle a couple of years ago with a small portfolio on…[Read more]

I wonder why there is the assumption that the homeless are the majority of people using this tail as a toilet? I live in a small college town…I certainly don’t let my children go wading in the fountain where god knows how many inebriated college students are taking a piss.

.Homelessness unfortunately has become an acceptable lifestyle choice to many (likw any bad behavior, it is unknowingly supported by those who tolerate/enable it).
 
What an incredibly sad and ignorant statement. I have not visited all these great parks you are discussing. But I have been homeless as a child. My birth mother and her brother have…[Read more]

Hey Roland! I think I met your wife at Success by Six! haha…and I think you sent us an email. 😉 Steve generally does set up tours for seniors. The firms are always very nice and friendly. You are working on your masters?
And if you are the wrong Roland sorry. 🙂 We graduated from UI and live in Moscow with our own business…I don’t imagine…[Read more]

Is this an episode of Mad Men?

Doing what we’re doing right now!

haha…that is what I was thinking…define best? mwhhahaha. The one that gives you a job! Booyah!
