Solar Powered Recording Studio

Videos

Someone pointed this awesome video out to me and I had to share. Not only is the video and music awesome but they recorded it using sunlight. This is far beyond calculators in 9th grade. This is some serious SOLAR power. Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! “Ooo Wah Hoo” by Karmic Juggarnaut

Handmade Mixed Fabric Bag

Design

Love this bag and the design. Anything collage-like and design-ish applied to something you don’t usually find much type on makes me really really happy. Plus this also has circles and polka dots. I’m having a hard time not buying this! 🙂

Quotes

Many graphics with quotes have been popping up all over Tumblr and Facebook. A little cheesy if you ask me, but I find some of the quotes inspiring!

Designers and Glasses

Sponsor

I was about 12 years old when I realized I could not see correctly – I was fine while reading. But ask me to read a street sign? I couldn’t help you. Since my mom wore contacts – I went straight to them. I didn’t think of getting a pair of prescription glasses. It wasn’t until my long design studio classes in college that they gave me a problem. Even after I started my first job – being on the computer all day really dried out my eyes. My contacts irritated me so much it was unbearable and I couldn’t do my work. I knew I needed to get a pair of eyeglasses.

These days it can be tough to get a good pair of glasses without leaving a hole in your wallet. The whole eye doctor process – its a pain! What if I want to be cute and stylish like Penelope Garcia? She has new glasses frames every episode! Most people would think they couldn’t afford to do that, but I recently discovered GlassesUSA.com. Besides their high quality frames and lenses, they offer a 110% lowest price guarantee and a 100% satisfaction guarantee along with a generous refer-a-friend program.
For you the designer or the computer geek, while you spend so much time in front of the screen – do it in style! Treat yourself to a new pair of glasses from http:///www.glassesusa.com and take 50% off + free shipping (and $10 cash back) on selected favorites. Code: SPRINGCLEAN. You can even “try them on” with the virtual mirror! And just for my blog’s reader’s take 10% off any order of prescription glasses. Code: Blog10.

Design Is a Job

Quotes
“From a client’s point of view, hire a designer to help you get a solution. Not to execute one. You wouldn’t go to a database analyst’s door with a fully realized database schematic. Don’t show up at a designer’s door with a drawing of a tuna can.”

~ Mike Monteiro, Design Is a Job

Online Printing Services

Design/ Sponsor

Finding a perfect place for online printing services can be tough. You design, you edit and you design again. You upload, and submit it. And then you pray… you pray your design will look beautiful printed. Just as you had imagined. To me, getting my final piece in the mail is like a mini designer Christmas. It’s so exciting when you open the box and look at your design… alive and in color!

With PrintRunner.com you don’t have to worry about worrying you know you will have something beautiful delivered to your doorstep. What I love about Print Runner is the fact that they started small ten years ago and are now a 25,000 sq ft facility doing all the work on the premises. You do not have to worry about anyone playing “telephone” with your design. Located in Southern California, Print Runner can complete all your printing needs from invitations to stickers.
