#design foundations

[codeandcanvas]

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, nor as a book, without seriously paying way too much) came from study material during my study.

And I have worked through three‑and‑a‑half semesters of reading material in preparation for what is next: me reading all these books.

To make this work in a way which helps me become the best graphic designer I can be, I have used Adobe Bridge to add keywords to these pdfs, with each class having its own keyword.

And there are books which are far more often referred to as in‑depth reading material than others: these I see as either very basic or very important, a difference which at this point makes little sense to make, I confess. Some of these books have four to six classes referencing them, while most belonging to one or two.

And what I think is fairly unique about my study at my alma mater is, that some books are required reading material, with sort of like a guide of which chapters to read. So I’ve marked those in Adobe Bridge with a rating of five stars, in order to easily find them.

With having said all of that, the next few weeks will be spent a little differently than the ones before this what I now realize is a milestone for me: now that I have created the order I need, I will spend more time on reading and applying the knowledge read, which in turn makes me return to an older system of keeping track in public of what I am doing­—to post less often.

I expect to change how I use my social media accounts in the future as well: to treat social media as a serious marketing tool for my own work. I think that will come with how serious I treat this process ahead of me.

And, you ask, what are these books I have mentioned?

They are about working scientifically, entrepreneurial management, online marketing, a book about visual information and communication, screen and interface design, a book about digital photography, media design, and finally a book about design foundations.

I think you can mix your own post‑degree study with these bits of information.

And sure enough, it has been a year since my degree, this is just the next thing I need to do in order to become an entrepreneur.

See you next time!

Here are some scp designs I made forever ago on paper and decided to digitized! I'm so so happy with these and one of my friends really likes them so I might make some more :P

I know SCP-173 is kind of separated from that original artwork it was based on (which I'm glad cause it was kind of silly looking for this scp lol) so I kept kind of a similar spray paint job on the face reminiscent of the old one, but not the same sculpture anymore. My SCP-173 kind of like a solid concrete cast sculpture with rebar inside, and it uses some exposed rebar to kind of gently grab and pull/twist things like a spider grabbing with its legs lol. The ones coming out of the back should be longer but I didn't draw em like dat. Honestly it's an SCP so it probably doesn't matter if it stretches and extends and stuff creepily. It also has the doo doo feces on its little feet just like its description says- blood all over it too! wahhoo!

For SCP-682 I wanted to make it pretty in-tact because if it can regenerate entirely, I don't see why it would have exposed ribs and stuff. It would be fun to draw it in really bad condition tho! But this is like fully healed and in-tact form. I'm so so so proud of its shape and design tho and i like its big greasy mane lol

PLEASE please please feel free to use these designs as long as u credit. use em for whatever idk
