i had some downtime at work today so i made a pattern. it doesn't quite tesselate properly, but i'll tinker with it more next week, or whenever. in defense of my break from corporate productivity, i had already designed one retail announcement and two posters for the day, and my boss was busy photoshopping ties onto pictures of devendra banhardt.
i was thinking today about the difference between graphic designers and studio artists. graphic designers utilize mathematical principles such as geometry and repetition, which is correlative to a general sense of nerdiness and obsessive compulsive behavior in the profession. artists, on the other hand, disregard established systems and therefore are always cool. testing out this theorem finds us at this crossroad: if i am good at math and nerdy, am i doomed to be a designer?
