Icons



Something I use everyday.  Something important to me.  Something I dislike.

Images to Ponder


This image conveys a feeling of never-ending ideas, that are yet balanced out on each side.  This balance and asymmetry  is found in the equal amount of material on either side of the enter, even though this material is different.  The overall balance of the image presents these feelings of harmony in the midst of chaos.
The use of space in this logo feels creative, minimalist, and elegant.  I feel as though this company is straight forward and too the point, yet modern and innovative.  The space of the plane presented within the "CD" logo shows that this company always has room for you.
Steve Jobs - a great among designers.  This image shows the legacy of Apple as a company.  Is uses contrast to portray an idea of balance and harmony, seeing the more colorful apple products on the left, nearest his face, and gradually fading off into the white and silver products to the right.  While the left is heavier weighted, the use of the space on the right evens out these feelings of imbalance to creative an image in harmony.

Shapes, trees, people, and colors.
