Designing for Fashion Design

By norm | Published: September 29, 2009
Yesterday I spent the latter part of the workday putting this image together. Today it was rejected for a postcard. Apparently the suit is too wrong. I agree that it doesn’t fit the guy but I’m worried we are being a little over critical here. Upon further understanding of the Fashion program I will admit [...]

If a Week could Kill

By norm | Published: September 17, 2009
Seriously September what is going on. You took our perfectly happy 2009, slightly in resecession, slightly not a big deal, and ripped us a new one. If weeks could kill, for me, this is the week that could do it. The only positive outlook is that if the to do list doesn’t get done then [...]

Dollar Bank Heist

By norm | Published: September 14, 2009
As a Dollar Bank customer I don’t know if I should be outraged or just dismissive. Last week I noticed some high orange construction barriers out front of the Dollar Bank branch on Fourth and Smithfield. At the time I thought they must be doing some Redd Up on the building. This morning I realized [...]

Computer on Hiatus

By norm | Published: September 9, 2009
Today I’m working off a loaner that has all my core data backed up yet not integrated. Email clients are not configured and I’m weighing the options of configuring them on this new machine for the day or two I’ll be down. I’ve never been in this state of flux while expected to work at [...]

The Perfect Breakfast

By norm | Published: September 6, 2009
Let’s start by saying the perfect breakfast doesn’t only involve the food. Once again I’m at the sandwich shop in Bloomfield. As far as I know they don’t have a website, no Twitter, and probably have never taken an ad in any paper. The healthy stream of steady customers keeps this place lively as well [...]

By norm | Published: September 4, 2009
Over the course of the past few days we’ve slow rolled the launch of the ChallegesForG20.org website. Thanks to one of AiP’s web students, Thomas Drenning, we got this whole site up fast.
