Summertime

Tiimo — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 17:55:26 +0000

and the living is definitely not easy. Damn. Crazy ass summer so far. The TS Creative has been dissolved to make room for a new agency: GRAY//MARKET. I’m working on the online portfolio for that in my spare time. This new venture is really interesting as I’ve never designed for advertising before. Right off the bat I made a few print ads that will be running in major magazines. TL;DR, I’m one of 5 partners, and we’re focusing on alternative marketing strategies. Lots of interesting things happening…

I started an alternative blog called SPACEMOVIES which will chronicle the more obscure, highly conceptual and complex masterworks of fine art and design that I churn out in photoshop in under 5 minutes… There’s some commentary in there if you go looking for it, but most of the time it’s the same message: fuck commentary, fuck metaphors, and get fine arts the fuck outta graphic design. It’s worth a look and a laugh.

In other news, Those Folks has some new product which will be available shortly. I’ve designed a web store so we can start selling merch online, but we’re figuring out all of the legal shit now..

That being said I’m really enjoying the lack of class/homework but almost missing the structured life that came with it. The days are crazy and unpredictable, but positive all in all. I’ll try to keep this blog active and avoid as many 6 week gaps as possible. And don’t worry bout me, I still get it in:

Trickin’

I stumbled upon some neat things whilst fussing with photoshop this weekend. My bag of tricks grew huge in like 15 minutes. I consider the faux-aged graphic to be a little played, but it’s pretty none the less. This guy needs some type work… Paul wanna take it from here?

Listen to this while the animation loads…

“Like I ain’t at’cha throat? I’m a turtle neck collar…”

PUBLIC(ation)

For my Com Studio IV class, I was asked to design a publication about something I was interested in. I chose to do it on the open source movement. All qualitative elements were to reflect this, so my publication was digital rather than printed. I have hosted it on my server and it is available for viewing at http://public.tiimo.com. It’s entitled PUBLIC and is written in PHP and Processing, with all of the source code readily available for download. As you can see it borrows much of the aesthetic of from this blog…

I Make…

…space posters. I made a poster about Ben the Rat and his popular internet monologue for type 4. It’s designed to fold into nine parts. Below is a random cropped shot, click to see the whole thing (2MB).

Folks

These days, a business cards life lasts as long as it takes for the recipient to input the info into their phone. After that they are either discarded, stored in a rolodex (least likely), or torn up and used as crutch paper in joints (most likely). Keeping that in mind we designed the TF card a half inch longer than standard size and has a perforated margin for easy tearing.

Cool Shit

Thanks to Cole Moss for putting me on to Simon Wald-Lasowski and his friends.

Magic City

When I visited Miami back in November, I was able to borrow a sweet carbon fiber road bike from Keirin Cycles in exchange for some logo work. The boys are planning on doing some big things under the name Magic City Cycles. Shouts to Thomas, Nick, Fabian, and Ivan! I’m trying to go back soon.

We’ll do it live

Damn friends. It’s been many moons since I last blogged. The skimask blog was way rad, and you know Tiims stays on that funky shit, but it’s time for change. I will be redesigning the site while it’s live so you all can watch it progress. Fresh install, stripped CSS, I build themes from starkers (scratch).

In other news, I was recently given a Canon s90 as a gift and I am thoroughly digging it. I love my G9, but it’s just too big to bring around on the daily. Expect some images soon.
