Posted to You Owe It To Yourself To Move The Fuck On, May 02, 2013 I wrote a thing about how you owe it to yourself to quit the bullshit & move on because, "No one will reduce the bullshit in your life besides you."
Posted to Designer's Debate Club : Is Formal Design Education Necessary?, Feb 01, 2013 I've been meaning to contact you Keenan. I'd like to get a DDC going in Chicago. Been asking around to gauge interest, and it seems strong.
Posted to Ask DN: What's your favorite font?, Feb 01, 2013 DIN & Futura are my favorites. I find myself using Proxima Nova, Open Sans and Brandon Grotesque most though.
Posted to Ask DN: What do you use to show your portfolio?, Jan 26, 2013 I use squarespace (http://jasonjam.es) and customize the template. Squarespace is nice b/c their CMS is awesome and the templates are already responsive.
