Architecture/Interior Design

To me this is a cool example of how you can learn from one form of design and bring it to another. In this case, you can bring this architecture/interior design and bring it to graphic design.

Great local design: Truce Juice Bar on Hennepin.

For additional reading on the creative process, here is an interesting article I found called Breaking the Design Cycle: Get Creative To Be Creative.

Design dabble

I was an AmeriCorps VISTA with an amazing organization called ThreeSixty Journalism two years ago. My job description was "volunteer coordinator," but in the first week, the executive director told me I'd be the resident designer of all brochures, flyers and web slides (and proceeded to wear many hats I wasn't necessarily qualified for in the next two years!). So, she paid for me to take an InDesign workshop and I fell in love with the Adobe Creative Suite. I'm totally self-taught with all the programs, but my interest in all things graphic and web design have only grown deeper since then. I'd also like to think I've improved since my first amateur project...

I decided to post the recent graphic work I've done. My boyfriend is an acoustic country/alternative musician and home-recorded his first EP in April. Knowing my design interest, he asked me to design the album artwork and a logo for him. This is all I've actually "done."

I decided to make this my first post because -- depending on how much freedom we get with our projects -- I'll probably do a lot of them centered around his new music endeavors.

We're both exploring our passions and it's fun to do it in tandem.

Gorgeous use of closure/visual linking and white space by fashion illustrator Stina Persson.

Another beautiful example of the same by David Downton for Dior.
