The Crawl


Here is an update for you :)
The Eastside Culture Crawl is happening this weekend. It is an annual FREE 3-day visual arts festival. It involves artists in their studios who work on the east side of Vancouver, BC, Canada in an area bounded by Main Street to Commercial Drive and from First Avenue north to the waterfront. It will be happening in 45 buildings. So be ready to get tired! :)


The dates are:
November 20: 5pm to 10pm
November 21+22: 11am to 6pm

I will be in Octopus Studios for 3 days. So, hoping to see you there! :)


Choosing Your Priorities


From the book, Design Rules For Letterheads. I thought it might be a good one to share and keep in my mind while we are getting closer to clients' world ;)

"Hugh Dubberley offers some of the most illuminating and succinct advice I have come across. He lists three standard requests of many clients when commissioning designers: these are that the design job should be...

1. GOOD
2. FAST
3. CHEAP

...and then he advices the designer to respond by telling the client to...

pick two!"
