    It bears repeating: according to the handbook for designers Iʼm currently reading, the two main reasons for designers becoming incapable of doing their work, are mental health back problems.

    The staying power of services like Goodreads has impressed me. It is 2025 and despite certain other projects, it is still around. I decided to use it, signed up, got my own vanity url, added the next 9 books I want to read after finishing Bernays’ Propaganda (which is a very good book for graphic designers and communication designers, I…

    Spent a few free minutes here and there to slowly work through my Instagram bookmarks. My goal is to save each one locally, tag each in Adobe Bridge for ease of use, and to add these to my visual library I’ve been building since, let me see–June 2024.

    I’ve come to the next iteration of what I am doing, so let me write those things down. I’ve worked through my digital library of graphic design pdfs. These pdfs were all acquired during my graphic design study, some even afterwards. All of these books (leaving out the ones I could neither obtain legally as a pdf,…

    “The excitement of the artist at the easel or the scientist in the lab comes close to the ideal fulfillment we all hope to get from life, and so rarely do.
