I recall the beginning of this project: an evening conversation with trace paper over pizza at Frank and Angie's. This was the first project I was able to lead with our principal and see the project through all design phases, construction and documentation.

Aggregated Websites : Creative Jobs/Portfolios

Sifting through the expansive inter-webs, numerous websites post and host a catalog of creative's portfolios. The following are a snippet of curated faves. If you are a creative, I suggest a 'Bat-Belt' full of utility websites to further your creative pursuits. (you know, when Twitter and Facebook just aren't enough) . . .



The Behance Network a collection of user profiles, gallery of work, job postings and more.



Core 77 Likely one of the best and favorite websites geared towards industrial design but spanning the gamut of design. This site keeps inspiring fresh minds published and exhibited.



Coroflot A sister link to/from Core 77 is the every helpful Coroflot. An online forum for designers to post their digital portfolios and hunt for jobs. Check out their blog [creative seeds]



Index Exhibit is likely the epitome of minimal online portfolios. Allowing users to participate giving they follow the clean, minimal pre determined format provided. This site offers an interesting combination of designers and artists.

The Sketchbook Project

'It's like a concert tour but with sketchbook's" says the website tag line. Thanks to JKyle for sending this my way! What a cool idea for a tour. You can select a theme and the tour swings through Brooklyn, Atlanta, San Fran, Austin, Portland and Chicago. Books are cheap, you can get it scanned and lots of people can see your work and you can see theirs. You have to use their Blue/Red moleskine book but other than that it's pretty open ended as long as you do something in the book ...

CONTINUOUS THISTLES

CONTINUOUS THISTLES- Advanced Drawing Procedures
(1) Digital scripting tests explored within Processing, then exported as a live vector source:


(2) Digital to Analog filtration is expressed by various fabrication techniques allowing for new opportunities:


(3) Analog stitching on acrylic plates provides an enhanced intended relationships and connections. All stitching is one continuous thread:


(4) A triptych is then used to describe an iterative series and sequence of opportunities within the designer's applied rule sets:

I created this series of of collages with inspiration of found imagery, textures, objects, words, numbers and scenes - then interpreted, placed, and arranged the scenes. adding motion to the flatness of the collage with illustrative systems of simple machines like pin connections, joints, pulleys, ropes, hatches, swing arms assert movement. each panel/fold is representative of an act, a starting point and together are one play.
