Randomness

These two images aren't really related at all, but they're just so cool and I really like them. This first one could be done sooo many different ways for so many different things! As soon as I saw it my mind started going crazy with adaptations with letters, shapes, making it digital - anything! and it just looks fun to make!

The next picture is more inspring to me, and I don't think most people would that. For me it just says a lot about design and typography and it challenges me to be a better designer. I want to 'Be Big'.

To me, good design is all about breaking the mold. So here you have a normal book and BAM, right in the middle is something totally breaking the mold and making a statement. You could go even further and say the whole picture is a statement. Here is a man that looks like your every-day Joe, and he's sitting by a plain window and heater, just very simple, especially since it's in black and white. So is he being big? If so how? Did he design that? Is being big just being your plain old self?

Can you see how this is more inspring and thought provoking to me? It's fun for me to look at art and try to create my own context.

A Picture's Worth A Thousand Words

Sometimes I get stumped on what to write about for this blog because I'm still not sure what this blog is. Obviously from the title it's about style, but "style" is an all encompassing word. To me, style is not about just your fashion, but your mood and how you present yourself. So in my mind, you the reader, need to know me and my life to understand my style and know how to relate to it.

I think today is going to be about my life and what's going on with me. As you know, I was in Chicago over the weekend, but this week Tim and I are house sitting. This means I'm continuing to live out of a suitcase and I'm really missing the comforts of home!

It's the little things that I miss, like using my own dishes and knowing where things go in the kitchen. I miss my cats, which feels silly, but it's true. I'm also getting tired of driving in the car all the time - I've started getting lost a lot lately, so that's no fun. However, I'm finding fun little things to enjoy. The mustache tape is an old picture, but these are the little things I'm talking about. I am also enjoying plain red nails after some very colorful manicures (like this one).

I hope all of you are having a good week! The summer has gone by so fast!! In less than three weeks I'll be starting school. Crazy.
