This week’s design inspiration comes from the king of all things internet–Google.

So, in past to present order, here is a collection of beautiful and artistic adaptations of the Google logo.

Posted on 21 September 2009 by Melody

Minute Monday for September 21, 2009

This week’s Minute Monday is about one of my favorite art websites of all time, deviantart.com. Every time I visit the site I find myself overwhelmed with the amount of talent exhibited by some awesome artists.
I must say, with this post, I do have a soft spot for digital artists because it’s something I continue to work towards getting better at, but you must check out these artists and continue to support their work!

Pirate Map Twitter Background

Posted on 04 September 2009 by Melody

Hey Everyone,

Sorry for the delay in posts, I just recently got back from the Party at the Playboy Mansion weekend, and I’ve fallen a little under the weather *sniff sniff*…ya know, the kind that makes you not wanna get out of bed..

Anywho, as you may know I recently created a new set of business cards for myself, inspired by a pirate treasure map. Well I decided to take this same concept and apply it to my Twitter background.

Old Twitter Background

My old Twitter background was technically a place holder until I could come up with something better. It incorporated a piece from a painting I was working on at the time of myself in a nude pose (however the pose is referenced and not actually of me).

New Twitter Background

My new twitter background is influenced by my recent business card design. In fact, I recycled the graphics from my business cards and just moved them around a bit to fit into the space for my twitter background.

You can view my featured background and vote on it at Twitter Background Gallery, a site that I think is pretty damn biased considering the fact of which designs get chosen popular each day, but oh what the hell–perhaps that’s my fever talking…
