Packaging Research

admin — Thu, 21 May 2009 06:12:11 +0000

As I have begun to sell more and more prints from my fine art series it has become apparent to me that I do not like just giving out my prints bare or on matt board. So for the past few hours I have been up researching different packaging for different products in hopes of inspiration. I have come up with a few ideas that I am really excited about and hope to put one of them to use. Tomorrow I have an appointment to deliver one of my prints to a customer and I hope to have come up with the first draft of my new packaging by then. I will post up what I come up with and hopefully I can get some feedback on it. Until then if you are into design and have some time to burn, go to Flickr and just search packaging. You will for sure find some awesome stuff.

Finally

Finally I am getting some photos up. I am in the process of changing this over to my photography website, so please be patient with me. Over the next couple days the site will change many times as I refine it. My personal deadline is to have it done by Thursday. So check back often as I update the site.

Flop

As I sat at my desk today looking through my friends’ sites, as I do most days, I really got to thinking about how big of a flop my site is. I haven’t added any of my work to it, and it really isn’t a photography site, which it is supposed to be. Well before I go making promises that I can’t keep, I need to refine my portfolio into sections to put up. I am working on this and will hopefully have my new site up within the next few weeks. Until then I invite you to visit one of my friends’ sites. I would give you more than one to look at, but I might need to save them for later post, incase I don’t get my work up. Brandon Irby is a great talent and is for the most part self trained. He is working in our very own Tulsa area. So he is also local, and I love promoting the Oklahoma photography scene. So check him out, I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Vacation

Tomorrow morning I leave for vacation. I am going to Flagstaff the first night, then to Las Vegas for a few days, up to Zion National Park in Utah for a day, then to Las Angeles for a couple days, back to Flagstaff and then home. It is obviously a road trip. I love road trips and I like going on them with new friends. There is no way to get to know someone better than by being stuck in a car with them for a week. This road trip consist of two vehicles and 16 people. Some of which I am good friends with, and others that I don’t even know their name yet. I am excited and nervous as I always am about a trip like this. Hopefully I will get the chance to update the blog while on my trip. I will try and post some photos along the way, but I will for sure be twittering the whole way. So I invite you to follow me on my adventure. You can follow me on twitter here. As always check back here often for new posts.

Fast Boy Cycles

One of my many passions is bicycles. I spend a lot of time riding and working on bikes. One person that I really like to look to for inspiration when it comes to bike building is a guy named Ezra. Though I have never met him, I have followed him on flickr for quite some time. He has been through a lot in the past year and is currently fighting cancer. Ezra builds some of the best looking bikes I have ever seen. You can check out his Photostream here. Also check out his flickr profile for his personal website and blog.

A photographer that I met this past semester just returned from Africa. He went to document something that I find truly awesome. You can check out what he was documenting here. Besides the fact that what they are doing is very cool, the water filters that they are handing out is awesome. I would love to get my hands on a couple. Back to Hollis. His work is great and is definately worth checking out. You can see some of his stuff from Kenya and some of his safari photos on his site.
