Today marks the date for the start of version three for DailyHues.
If you’re not familiar, I started DailyHues two months ago as a way to document the colors that I wear on a day-to-day basis in the means of an infographic. Size of the color depends on the proportion it yields to the piece of clothing. Each version of info graphic design composition and shapes goes on for 30 days. Every month, on the 20th, a new version and composition emerges.
I just finished watching Beautiful Losers. A superb documentary at a look into the world of underground artists. Incredibly inspiring to have a closer look into those who created the 1990s art movement based upon fashion, film, music, pop culture- with graffiti, skateboarding and street music.

My browser home page still is set on my colleges intranet site. So it’s nice that I still am able to find out about guest speakers and exhibitions going on at MCAD. I was delighted to find a post called MCAD Intranet Gallery Time Machine, taking us back to 2004, when the intranet gallery started, to show all the student work that had been featured in the gallery through the years. From what I am aware of, I had two student pieces featured. One from a digital illustration class and one from a poster design project we did for the Bookmobile.
Typography at its best is a visual form of language linking timelessness and time.
-Robert Bringhurst
I came across this quote and it reminded me what an influence Robert Bringhurst has been to me, and still is.
Robert Bringhurst has written what is one of the most important books that I have found if you are a designer or typographer or anyone who deals with typographic styles. The Elements of Typographic Style. It literally was my bible in school- and I still use it quite often for reference. It’s the same degree as a Pantone swatch book for a printer, in my opinion. Hermann Zapf quoted: I wish to see this book become the Typographers’ Bible.
Bringhurst was a poet, author and typographer. He also, which I was not aware of until I read his Wikipedia page, was a translator for epic poetry from Haida Mythology into English.
I was noticing that whenever I cook I use the same type of spices, usually in the same proportions per everything I make. So, I made a little infographic to tell the world, this is how I spice my food. Not always used all together, except when I make my famous soup, but otherwise, I use, for instance, pepper quite a lot, chili pepper second to a lot, etc.
I have been keeping up with DailyHues for almost two months now. I’ve finally branded the experiment.
Version three will start on the 20th of December
It’s been interesting to see the progression and comments and bashing of the London 2012 Olympic logo that was launched back in 2007. I have to admit that at first I was not a fan either. That’s beside the point. What I really was waiting to see is the rest of the identity- that being the pictograms. This is what completes the image of the 2012 Olympics, or I should say, opens a whole new door bringing in every single possibility to brand the event (anywhere from toilet signs to tshirts). It’s exciting.
The pictograms for the 2012 London Olympics were launched. I love them. In the past designs of the Olympic pictograms, they were mostly based off of one [lovely] style - that being of the 1972 Munich games which were designed by Otl Aicher. The stationary stick figures clearly said what they were supposed to, but things these days have moved on, advanced and become more technologically advanced. The Olympics are active, fast, in motion, exciting, powerful, energized… a vital piece of history that will forever be remembered.
The London pictogram set is bright and active. The whole concept of a pictogram is pushed. The outcome was two style versions – a silhouette version used for high visibility and information-based applications, and a dynamic version used both as decoration and where a more exciting version is called for, such as on posters or banners.
