Finished restructuring the bookshelf over the weekend. I wanted to do a Robert Hanson illustration thing, but gave up on the detailing 15 minutes into it. Everything in the mid-section of the shelves are made up of magazines. The encyclopaedias are now displayed at the hall. One day I’ll get a good bookshelf with sliding glass doors.

I am going to use a system like this to organize my library when I am older, wondering how I was going to do it actually bothered me for quite a while and I am quite pleased that it has been solved….

pfrsch asked: Hello there. I'm Aina, the person who suggested 'paper clip' for your research paper. I just want to know what came out of it. Also, the new posts of your portfolio reminds me heavily of my studio sketching classes when in design school 6 years ago. I chose a lipstick for the 'rotating object' exercise thing.

I believe that was for my Pratt essay..I’ll go look through them and see which one that question was for, but I remember talking to my dean when it was getting edited about the paperclip because of you ;)

Ouch, a lipstick seems much more difficult than shoes…how did they turn out?

Chances are, if you are an Architect or Interior Designer you already know you can get a discount on products that you buy, like furniture, carpet, and various other home products from certain vendors. For example, Herman Miller gives a 45% discount to architects, or at least that is what my HM supplier here in KC gives.

What you may not know is HM also gives a discount to Industrial Designers, as well as even Graphic Designers (I don’t think it is 45% though). I can’t speak for other vendors, but I’m sure someone like Knoll for example, is probably fairly similar.

I’m here to tell you to take advantage people! Believe me, I already have. I have two white armless Eames Shell Chairs with Eiffel bases, and now I have a blue Eames Rocker on the way.

1. Homosexuality is not natural, much like eyeglasses, polyester, and birth control.

2. Heterosexual marriages are valid because they produce children. Infertile couples and old people can’t legally get married because the world needs more children.

3. Obviously, gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

4. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage is allowed, since Britney Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage was meaningful.

5. Heterosexual marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all; women are property, blacks can’t marry whites, and divorce is illegal.

6. Gay marriage should be decided by people, not the courts, because the majority-elected legislatures, not courts, have historically protected the rights of the minorities.

7. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That’s why we have only one religion in America.

8. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

9. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

10. Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That’s why single parents are forbidden to raise children.

11. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society. Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and we could never adapt to new social norms because we haven’t adapted to things like cars or longer life-spans.

12. Civil unions, providing most of the same benefits as marriage with a different name are better, because a “separate but equal” institution is always constitutional. Separate schools for African-Americans worked just as well as separate marriages for gays and lesbians will.

Clean and elegant design - Elena Ghisellini Identity

This was a project for my Graphic Design 1 class - a typographic portrait done in Adobe Illustrator made only with the letters in my middle name “Aiden”.

This drawing was done in order to gain a firm control over drawing one object at multiple angles. I then decided to add some factor which would help connect the scattered drawings together, which led to the lines.

Materials: Charcoal, Colored Pencil

This painting was completed during my Parsons Summer Intensive Drawing & Painting Class. It was completed in about 4 hours.

Materials: Acrylic Paint, Opaque Medium Gel

This 40 minute drawing was completed for my Figure Drawing 1 class.

Materials: Charcoal Pencil
