CA: You’re back working with Quark. Do you think contemporary designers depend too heavily on the abilities of their software packages?

DC: Absolutely. I work in basically one program, Quark. It’s not about having and knowing all the latest gimmicks and photo tricks. Good design comes from the most basic decisions – cropping, font choice, the overall design. If you haven’t got the eye, no program will give it to you.

It’s partly why we see so many solid, well-designed magazines today, but almost none that stand out. Designers get lazy and let whoever made their software make decisions for them. Your computer shouldn’t tell you the proper distance between columns of type – you need to be making those decisions. Get that title, subtitle and byline out of the same box!

To me its like calling myself a brain surgeon because i own a scalpel.

Don't get me wrong, im not saying im the best out there, in fact i don't even call myself a graphic designer yet, i always refer to myself as a jr. i just want to get it out there, their are people in the industry who are worried about the affect that the crap out there is having on our profession. So people its up to you don't accept crap and when people call them selfs Graphic designers question there title.

thats all for my rant.

I got made redundent from my job because of the down turn in the economny, which in my opion isnt turn the company which i was working for was a printer, they invested in a million dollar printer and had no clients to back it up. it was a case of their eyes being bigger than thier stoumchs, and now ive got not job, ive been trying my arse off to get one but its not that easy.

What else i met an amazing girl, and we've been together for awhile now,

It terms of art not a lot when i get round to it im going to put some of my work up here design work that is,

more stencils are coming i promise and there an idea forming in my head that i might need all the great stencilers out there on DArt to help me with,

Cheers James

Got another birthday this weekend to go to at Kbar, arent i mr popular, and ive got to move into my new flat on FRi/Sat/Sun. so thats all exciting ya, just finshed cutting and spraying the biggest stencil ive even done and i love it, ill upload a pic as soon as i can so everybody out there in internet land can tell me what they think, its part of a seires ive started called "Into The Light" Its a flip side of some work by a guy called Ctrl.
Many females in overexposed shoots turned into stencils (anything with a high contrast leans itself greatly to stenciling) Also want to put on a tutour on of how i produce and cut my work,
going on a mission tonight to spray some stuff, should be fun,

All you used to do was put me down
But I found a way to pick myself up off the ground
And all you used to do was criticise me
But now I found the good and I emphasise ya see

You would always get so sensitive
And try to turn your transgressions into my guiltiness
But now I'm certain of the way I live
And what I'm responsible for in this twisted game

And it's such a shame
That you try to make pain
Another word for my name
Whether giving or receiving
It's one and the same
Just one more link
In your long-ass chain
But it's time to break
This frame and my strengthful will
Time to jump off this negative cycle we've built
Gave my heart
But my self-respect you won't steal
Now it's time to let ya know if you can hear me feel me

So I asked my mamma for her two cents
And then I asked my little sister and I asked my friend
Then I asked my pappa once and I asked him again
Came to the consensus from all them opinions
That life is too short to be unhappy
And since I know what I'm worth there'll be no settling for dirt
Not when what I deserve is gold
If I want diamonds then I can't settle for coal

Maybe I was just too strong to let go
Maybe I was just too weak to let it show
Maybe I was just too stubborn to say "No"
But whatever the case I can't take it no more

Sometimes I think maybe we'll patch it all up
Like a favourite pair of jeans that you won't give up on
Or maybe one of these arguments we'll make up
And start again like when we started this up
Back when everything was fresh
And every moment a blessing
I'd laugh at all of your jokes
You'd listen to my suggestions
One mind, one soul,
One common destination
Now we can't help but fight over the direction.

Well why did i sign up for dwviantArt? to impressa a girl is the 1st reason 2nd reson begin i look art and all involeved but i want to get rid of the sterio tipical designer/artist.

im a 20 year old screenprinter/designer try oh so hard to start my own company Called Brooklyn Rd. So many people dont know how much time i spend on trying to get it going. It took over my life for a good six months.
The whole idea behind it is to create a "brand" company and empoly it with only 1st 2nd and 3rd year design and fine art students. Why no 4th years i heard you say because they have evry thing infront of them this is more a part time design thing. at the end of ever year i take the best and most vauble meber and add them to my team of full time artist/designer/writers/people. and so on untill i have not only educated people but free thinkers that dont just "have a Degree"

i end with a poem my mother told me:
Good Night little angel
sleep till morn
for he night is yours to dream.

"If you love something let it go and see if it comes Back"
