I also hope it stayed on the family fridge for months until it was joined by an amazing crayon, marker, & macaroni masterpiece. <br />
<br />
Enough of the memory lane trip & time for a modern twist on the paint by numbers idea. I think this twist is awesome not only because the small sense of accomplishment I get when completing a task but, it is a community effort!<br />
<br />
Painted with Pixels was created by iam8bit Productions for the "The Game Developers Conference" in 2012. The idea is each of the conference’s attendees would receive a 2″ pixel, either cyan, magenta, yellow, or black and would get to place his or her pixel on the wall in a corresponding square.<br />
<br />
This is a "Why didn't I think of that?" project. I was tasked with coming up with a community project for Dell on Earth Day and it was not nearly as cool as this. Well, it was cool but not 20 feet by 8 feet of dragons & monsters cool.<br />

Why is that? I have tried to put myself in my client's shoes and understand why they hesitate or do not budge on price with designers but are willing to do so in other areas of their life or company.<br />
<br />
Since graphic design is not a tangible thing, something you can put your mitts on, something you can smell or taste, clients are always thinking they can get a better deal. I admit, I do the same with car repair since I know nothing about it I think the mechanic is stiffing me with a crazy high price. But, price is only one way to measure value. Why not factor in the designers/mechanics ability to problem solve, turnaround time, and quality of work? After all, there are a lot of sites that you can upload what you need and have designers bid and design for you for almost nothing. Why not go that route? Why go to a designer directly and have them charge much more? Well, just like in any else, in graphic design you get what you pay for. I could pay for a cheap car repair but if 3 weeks later it breaks again, was it really a good deal? Paying $30 for a custom flyer is really not a great deal if the printer can't print it and if it is not designed in a way that clearly conveys your message and brand. Just think about paying a tattoo artist $50 for a full back tattoo, um I think not. Sounds too good to be true and it is.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.davidairey.com/irish-water-logo/" target="_blank">The Irish Water Company is learning that lesson.</a><br />
<br />
Here is the thing, you know good design when you see it...sort of. Good design should do it's job so well you don't realize it is doing anything. Good design should always follow function. The purpose of design is to help tell the story and communicate, not to make things pretty. Designers, what you do is important. Stop participating in these micro job sites and having people pay you bargain bin prices for your work. <br />
<br />
I found a great article by Addison Duvall, "<span id="goog_940738046"></span><a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/paying-for-good-design/">Why Don’t People Want To Pay For Good Design?<span id="goog_940738047"></span></a>" It is worth the read and you and I are worth more than clearance mark down prices. <br />

If you had not heard the news, SURPRISE!!! Anyhoo, along with this cloud based creative suite Adobe has "<a href="http://xdce.adobe.com/mighty/" target="_blank">Project Mighty</a>" in the works. Project Mighty is a very cool concept of eliminating pencil and paper and creating directly on a tablet or smart phone. Plenty of companies have tried something similar in the past with not much luck. Adobe doing this make the most sense in my opinion.<br />
<br />
Ok, I will stop talking about it and just let Adobe explain this super cool tool.<br />

My guess is this goo is made of cornstarch and water, mix it something else to make it gummy, and add in some orange dye. BLAM! You are a millionaire! If haven't seen cornstarch and water in action it is true magic, or science whatevers.<br />
<br />

<br />
Cornstarch and water is the cheapest toy you will ever spend hours with. It can get messy but is not hard to clean once it dries. <b>Tip:</b> You cannot stir in the water. It only makes it expand into a solid. You will bend your spoon silly.<br />
<br />
I can totally see this goo working to keep a cell phone safe on the outside depending on how thick the case is. For a few seconds the goo expands to make a dense surface on the top layer and that is how it protects it. Anyhoo, I thought I would share my thoughts of what this magic goo could really be. Hey, maybe one of you can make your own magic cornstarch goo for cash.<br />
<br />
If you have any thoughts on what this could be other than the cornstarch and water theory, please share. I would love to learn and hear your thoughts.<br />

It is the part of the project that I like the least. Partially because I do not have a lot of experience negotiating and also because it seems like most clients think almost everything is "not within budget." On most freelance projects I know about how long the work should take and what I think is a fair price. I then take into account the client and their possible budget and set my minimum and ideal amount for the job. I ask for a partial payment upfront to help balance the risk for both a client and myself. All of that is normal, I start to fall apart when I get into the actual negotiation with the client.<br />
<br />
The hard part seems to be getting the client to admit their budget. I use to think this was almost impossible. Some treat it like golden information, thinking if they share the budget the other party would set their price close to the highest number. In my case this is not at all true. I hate overpaying for things and would never expect anyone to pay me a insanely ridiculous amount for my work. I, and I am sure most of you, would just like to get a fair price for your time and the quality of your work. <br />
<br />
For those needing help in the negotiation area you must read a article by <a href="http://seanblanda.com/blog/" target="_blank">Sean Blanda</a>, author of "<a href="http://youarenotsosmart.com/2010/07/27/anchoring-effect/" target="_blank">You Are Not So Smart</a>," titled "<a href="http://99u.com/tips/7239/How-To-Get-Paid-What-Youre-Worth-Other-Negotiation-Tips" target="_blank">How To Get Paid What You're Worth & Other Negotiation Tips</a>"<br />

<br />
In the article Sean explains why you never name the first price which I am guilty of doing. He also says "<i><strong>Separate the person from their position</strong>. This is one of the primary points of the popular negotiation book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Getting-Yes-Negotiating-Agreement-Without/dp/0395631246" target="_blank"><em>Getting to Yes</em></a>.
When we argue over positions, our egos are attached to what we are
proposing. Instead, focus on the other party's underlying interests.
Find where interests overlap and work to develop solutions with the
other party as a partner not as a combatant</i>"<br />

Artist and scientist <a href="http://www.jvmuntean.com/" target="_blank">John V. Muntean</a> has made a series of abstract wooden sculptures with oddly realistic shadows.<br />
<br />
"A Magic Angle Sculpture appears to be nothing more than an abstract
wooden carving, skewered with a rod and mounted on a base. However, when
lit from above and rotated at the magic angle (54.74º) it will cast
three alternating shadows. Every 120º of rotation, the amorphous shadows
evolve into independent forms. Our scientific interpretation of nature
often depends upon our point of view. Perspective matters."<br />

The amazing artist <a href="http://nagaihideyukiart.jimdo.com/" target="_blank">Nagai Hideyuki</a> has some serious magical powers with a regular pencil and paper. It is amazing what shading and shadows will do to your brain. <br />

No matter how old I get I will never be too old for children's books. There are trillion different ways to stylize, simplify, and even color the illustrations to tell the story. It is not just a book cover but every page has personality and makes you feel one step closer to the character and the dreamworld. Talk about losing yourself in a book. I think there is no other type of book that's better to loose yourself in than a children's book.<br />
<br />
There are a lot of great illustrators creating works of art but the great Craig Frazier has to be one of my favorites. Taking both kids and adults to another planet all while making us use our brains along the way. From the super simplified "bee and bird" to the art deco influenced "Stanley" his work is amazing eye candy. Outside of his illustrations for books his editorial work is rich with symbolism and meaning.<br />
<br />
Checkout his work at <a href="http://craigfrazier.com/" target="_blank">craigfrazier.com</a>, there is a lot of it.<br />

The hand-made type always catches my eye. It just has so much personality.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy! <br />

Check out what Brian Dettmer can do with a book.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><a href="http://dvice.com/archives/2012/03/carving-books-w.php#17" target="_blank">"Dettmer creates his masterpieces by bending the book into an position that fans out the pages to some extent, then he cuts away parts of each page one at a time to reveal the hidden artwork within. It's kind of like an X-ray that makes you a voyeur looking inside the book without actually opening it. Some of his more recent work combines several books glued together, often multiple volumes of a set to provide a sense of continuity across the piece....Dettmer uses knives, tweezers and surgical tools to create his art, along with what must be a stunning amount of patience and skill. The amazing results speak for themselves." </a></i></div>

Can you imagine how long this takes? The detail in his cuts are amazing considering how thin the pages really are. WOW! </div>
