The Bible Meets Graphic Design
Posted by Emily | Filed under design
I was listening to NPR the other day and heard this story, Two New Bibles Preach A Hip, Eco-Friendly Gospel, which led me to look up more info about this newly designed Bible, Bible Illuminated: The Book. Interesting stuff… I’m sure reactions are all over the map. It’s definitely the most interesting Bible cover I’ve ever seen:
“First, the flashy coffee-table Bible: Dag Soderberg, a secular Swedish advertising executive wondered why so few people actually read the “good book,” so he set out to make it more appealing, with glossy photos and magazine packaging. The resulting publication is an illustrated version of the New Testament called Bible Illuminated: The Book. ” – Lynn Neary

Riceboy Sleeps, Art and Music
Posted by Emily | Filed under art, inspiration, music, resources, video, website
“Riceboy Sleeps is an artistic collaboration between Jón Þór Birgisson (singer for the Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós) and his partner Alex Somers. Not only do they make visual art, but they also create ambient music. The music tends to be more ethereal and experimental than that of Sigur Rós.” – Wikipedia

Life Without Eyes
Posted by Emily | Filed under art, inspiration, video
As a visual designer, I’ve always been in love with ‘art’ and design, playing with visual imagery in realistic and surrealistic forms. Sometimes a photo or a random sunset will catch my eye and totally blow me away. I’m assuming this goes for all people who can see… Sometimes sight is something I take for granted, though. Sometimes I wonder how blind people in the world can ’see’ and appreciate art and the beauty of the world around us without their eyes to see it. Below is a cool video that may answer that question. Enjoy!

Girls Rock! DC
Posted by Emily | Filed under art, design, music
This year I’ve been having fun doing some graphic design and poster work for Girls Rock! DC. I love being able to get into the grungy, gritty design, without having to make things look corporate. It also feels good to be doing something for a cause you find worthwhile. If you haven’t heard of GR!DC, it’s basically a youth rock camp for girls and aspiring young musicians. Camp is going on next week, and afterward they will be having a showcase performance at the 9:30 Club. Should be a great show, all are welcome:
