as you can tell, i’m into making lists right now.

(the above ad was the ad i answered and what i consider to be my entry into the graphic design field. this was from 10 years ago back when looking for job meant buying the newspaper; i was 21 years old. shit, dude…that’s trippy!)

of boredom…with Adobe Illustrator

haha! edit: so a few hours later i animated it…geez man, i really have a long way to go with this shit. i want to fast-forward to that moment already!

yup…i was bored at work for most of the day today. so instead of blogging, bullshitting on myspace or ichat for hours on end, i forced my brain to mess around with after effects; it’s mediocre and the timing of the typing could be improved (among other things), but hey at least i’m trying. i am getting bored with my current job and hope to go into web or motion graphics eventually when my skills are up to par.

I thought this was a cute, funny and interesting design; I can definitely relate.

Fear is one of our basic, natural and involuntary emotions that grant our survival warning us of possible dangers. Modern life, and economic systems expose men to extreme situations of pressure that silently trigger psychological reactions to real dangers, even if they don’t exist. Human beings never developed the capacity to control this primitive reaction, and throughout the centuries refused emotions, considering them the vulnerable “or weak part” of the person.

Now scientific studies have verified that rational decision without an associate emotion does not exist. Emotion and cognition work together.

It is not possible to be taught to think, to reflect, to decide only with the knowledge. We need to learn to handle our and others’ emotions, because in every decision we take, emotions will take part….

I actually had fun doing comps for these titles. I hope I get to see my Blu-ray menus one of these days…that would be cool. Too bad I don’t get any freebies of anything I’ve worked on; nor does my name get credited. I’m pretty much a ghost artist. Weak.

I HAVEN’T HAD TO TIME TO BLOG…I’VE BEEN WORKING LATE & BUSTING MY ASS OFF THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS ON SOME CHEESY, HISTORICALLY INACCURATE MOVIE TITLE THAT I DIDN’T FEEL LIKE DOING (ALONG WITH OTHER EXTREMELY TEDIOUS TASKS; I SERIOUSLY WANTED TO DIE THIS WEEK); BUT SINCE I AM THE MODEL EMPLOYEE (EVEN THOUGH NO ONE NOTICES) I GIVE MY JOB 110 PERCENT NO MATTER WHAT…SO INSTEAD I’LL JUST POST A MUSIC VIDEO FROM DM. HAVE A FANTASTIC FRIDAY EVERYONE.

If you know me then you know that I’ve been holding down office jobs for quite sometime now. Someone left this photo of Dwight from The Office on my myspace and I thought it was the funniest thing, because I too am a hard worker gadamnit! Not as intense as Dwight though.
