Portfolio

I am going to try to post some of my work onto a new blog. Since emailing PDFs in the past have given me trouble I am going to try just sending a link to people.

Most of my works are on slides and I was bad at documentation over the years, too broke for a digital camera during that time. So much of what I have done has been given away or taken apart with out any documentation, I am still kicking myself for this, but I will try this summer to round up some work. And when I do I will post them here:

Check it out if anyone gets a chance.

Tim Hawkinson- Just To Keep Things Interesting



















This is a fine artist whose work I really enjoy. His processes are inventive, as much of his work involves some science and new technology fundamentals, and his work is often based around his own body. He is a great one to look at for inspiration.

Creative block? Take a look at your Mac! or Loaded Logos

I am well past satiated on Apple news, as I am sure so is everyone else, but one more cannot hurt!

Apple Really Does Make You "Think Different"

March 18 , 2008 | DURHAM, N.C. –- Whether you are a Mac person or a PC person, even the briefest exposure to the Apple logo may make you behave more creatively, according to recent research from Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business and the University of Waterloo, Canada.

In work to be published in the April issue of the Journal of Consumer Research, Professors Gavan Fitzsimons and Tanya Chartrand of Duke, and GrĂ¡inne Fitzsimons of Waterloo, found that even the briefest exposure to well-known brands can cause people to behave in ways that mirror those brands’ traits.

“Each of us is exposed to thousands of brand images every day, most of which are not related to paid advertising,” said Gavan Fitzsimons. “We assume that incidental brand exposures do not affect us, but our work demonstrates that even fleeting glimpses of logos can affect us quite dramatically.”
