This was a collaboration project with Do It Creative. My handiwork comes in the shape of designing icons for the media player at the top, as well as the Win-A-Palette and Step-by-Step sections in the lower portion of the page.

Who am I kidding? I just needed an excuse to redecorate my apartment to accommodate an office space. It's almost there, couple trips to CB2 and a few more to the Container Store and I should be golden. But in the meantime, I'm so enamored with this set of speakers!!!

Another item that I've also fallen in love with are these white enameled steel cubes that I recently purchased from the Container Store. Perfect under desk storage when you stack them, sturdy and easy to put together.

Anyway, this is just a funny picture I took of me and my pod mate's cell phones side by side. Check out the reception bars on each phone.

I worry sometimes that I won't be able to keep up. Thankfully being surrounded by technophiles helps tremendously, and there's no place better than SF to do just that.

As I'm struggling to put this site together, I'm learning new things every minute, one of which is the amazing iPhone app that squarespace has. The ability to monitor your website, make edits and preview your changes, and most importantly enabling me to post directly to my journal from my phone.

Inna, can I please, please, dognap/sit Stache again. This is my public request.

]]>New Year, New Websitehttp://www.mediaorganik.com/musings/2011/1/24/new-year-new-website.htmlJane2011-01-24T08:56:05Z2011-01-24T08:56:05ZAlso my first journal entry. I'm really not much of a blogger, much less tweeting. But per chance that you've stumbled upon my website today, you'll notice that it's in a bit of disarray. Or at least to me it is.

And since it's 1:00am on a Monday morning, I figure I might as well share a little. Take a break from the pixel pushing and just put thoughts onto my non-existent paper. Who knows this may be cathartic.

I can honestly say, the toughest job a designer will EVER have to do, is design their own website. Why is that? I mean, we do it for a living, we know the principles of good design, I've designed beautiful things. Why can't I get this one simple website done?

After some thinking (as well as face-palming, mumbling, pacing, munching) I've come to the conclusion that designers, by nature, are fickle. We have to be, otherwise designs just get stale, nothing evolves, trends don't emerge and well, everything would look so very 'blah'. The constant A.D.D. keeps us constantly engaged with our surroundings, waiting for the next moment of inspiration from wherever or whatever.

So here's some advice that has allowed me to be "OK" with my website that's up right now. Design is organic, it will change it will evolve. Be at peace with what you have for now, and look forward to the designs you'll come up with tomorrow.

NOW GO TO BED JANE!
