The Design Process: Week 2

Things that inspire me: beautiful black and white films (like early Bergman, Jarmusch, Polanski), great mainstream cinema (like early Spielberg, Ridley Scott and Brian Synger, Howard Hawks, any and every Hitchcock movie), visual art (especially modern and contemporary), music (especially rap), riding my bike (basically everywhere), furniture design (again, mostly modern and contemporary).

10 pleasures, values and skills (in no particular order): bright and saturated colors, elegant or gritty black and white, figuration, postmodernism, photography, collages, architecture, Photoshop, urban design, cultural criticism.

Media experience: Mostly writing cultural journalism (both online and in print, currently as an editor at The L Magazine) especially to do with art, film, music and theater, some fairly rudimentary graphic design and Photoshop work, lots of blogging (at The L and for a side-project Listicles).
