I think it’s just a mat­ter of time before every blog­ger shares their opin­ion on the “Best Word­press Plu­g­ins Ever” and for me that time has come! I cur­rently have 28 installed plu­g­ins and 24 of those are active. Don’t worry, I won’t be list­ing all 28 with some crazy syn­op­sis of how that par­tic­u­lar plu­gin will sky­rocket [...]

Written by Corey. Posted on January 21, 2010. Filed under Reviews. Tagged , , , , , . 2 Comments.
Graphic Design: A User’s Man­ual writ­ten and designed by Adrian Shaugh­nessy is an absolute must read for a graphic designer. Actu­ally, I should rephrase that, this book is an absolute must-reference for any designer. Struc­tured as a very con­cise ref­er­ence tool with each chap­ter, titled sim­ply with a let­ter of the alpha­bet, address­ing com­mon and not so com­mon top­ics in [...]

Print Swap — January

Written by Corey. Posted on December 29, 2009. Filed under Print Swap. Tagged , . 3 Comments.
Why Swap? It’s so easy these days to become absorbed in the dig­i­tal lifestyle we all embrace so openly. We upload pic­tures from our cell phones to flickr or twit­pic or any other photo shar­ing ser­vice you can think of. For so many peo­ple pho­tog­ra­phy and design has reached a new level of almost instant grat­i­fi­ca­tion. Shoot, [...]

Cadian’s Birthday Invites

Just fin­ished the invi­ta­tions for Cadian’s birth­day party. A sim­i­lar design printed through an online sta­tion­ary com­pany was going to be almost $70! Instead we tweeked it a lit­tle and will print it at home for about $10 worth of card stock and envelopes. Cre­ativ­ity really does pay off!

I spent about an hour com­ing up with three dif­fer­ent designs and two vari­a­tions of one of the designs. They ulti­mately went with num­ber three, enjoy… [...]

Bulova chrono­graph watches are the per­fect gift for that spe­cial some­one in your life. Have you ever noticed how a man with an awe­some watch demands more respect than a man with no watch at all? Don’t let your man walk around demand­ing less respect than he deserves! Say “I love you, and I want every­one to know [...]

With Valentine’s Day just around the cor­ner, don’t you think it’s time to start shop­ping for that spe­cial some­one in your life? Every­one knows, and by every­one I do mean myself, that women love jew­elry. But what do men love? I’ll tell you… men love jew­elry too, just not the same types of jew­elry. Last year [...]

This book does an amaz­ing job of walk­ing you through the tech­ni­cal aspects of being an art direc­tor. You also get a glimpse into the [...]
