I'm Nicholas. A designer living in Omaha, NE.
I adore Wes Anderson, and his films, to an alarming degree. Many people know this. Many people also know the style or aesthetics I’m drawn to. Adam Torpin alerted me when he saw the above posters. I now own them, and shall soon have them framed.
Thanks, Torpin.
Now that I have my sweet job at a real design studio, Eleven19, I don’t have to worry about doing the kind of work that would get me hired. What does that mean? It means I can do more fun little icons, random logo redesigns, and all sorts of other things that “don’t matter” but are just for fun.
Also, Aaron Draplin (one of my design heroes) will be speaking in Omaha in one week for AIGA Nebraska. Emailing your heroes and telling them you’d love for them to come speak where you live is totally worth it.
Its far from final, but a schedule of sorts never hurt anyone who didn’t attempt to follow it.
That is another instagram shot of Omaha and this a questionnaire my friend Adam Casey had to fill out so he sent it to me and asked if I would do it as well. So, I did.
So I took a picture on my iPhone using Instragram. Don’t hate me.
Yet another musical reference.
Let The Appleseed Cast references come raining down.
Designers are the only people who care about the process.
Now it all makes sense.
Believe it or not, this blog is me as a laser.
I wasn’t always a typophile.
I’m not Batman, but I do post a daily photo of his routine in my office. Also, AIGA Nebraska is doing some kind of design war or war of design or great battle of design wars. All I know is they’re doing twenty-five minute competitions and one of them is design a logo. Close to my hour thing I’m doing soon, but they make it seem more cool to do it in less time. Screw that. I win.
Also, when I’m not feeling so ready to fall asleep I’ll be reviewing some work or lack of work I did last year, starting with one of my favorites, Analog.
