Build or Destroy, Patrick Martinez.
“Think before you press the shutter. It’s frustrating that today, even more than in the time of analogue photography, you often come back with a lot junk. Nowadays, it’s too easy to get a picture-click-clack; the camera works for you, but you need to use your brain, look closely and react fast. Don’t go out and expect that things will be wonderful-photography is hard work.”
-Thomas Hoepker
State of Mind series by Korean photographer JeeYoung Lee. She constructs each set in her 3x6 meter studio, taking weeks at a time to create these surreal scenes.
“I know squat diddly about typography myself”, says John Rabbit. He created this one page education on typography and it’s pretty great.

Every digital designer absolutely needs to know about this online color picker, Adobe Kuler.
You can chose pre-made color themes, pick from an image, and save favorite themes. What’s even cooler is that you can create your own theme based on options like analogous, complementary, shades, etc.
Enjoy!
I’d like to add #30: Stop thinking about it and just do it.

“Art is the ultimate goal. It saves our souls and makes us live happily.”
I’d love to share this amazing and inspirational TED Talk with all you artists and non-artists out there. Korean author Young-ha Kim discusses why we stop creating and how we can start creating again.
This can perhaps help you kick start the motivation you need to keep up your artistic endeavors. We all need it sometimes. I lost my artistic ambitions after graduating art school and it took me a year or so to get it back. I wish I had found this video at the time-it makes me sad to know I wasted a year of potential.
Be an Artist, Right Now
