products of our environments

So, this new job of mine has had such a huge impact on me and I've only been here a month but I feel like it's been longer, in a good way. Aside from the fact that I'm in a creative environment, it's the style of the environment that is quite rapidly seeping into my thought process-it's crazy. I'm noticing how different I'm thinking about things, not just design, but arrangement of space, and the need for less clutter, neatness; I mean, it's not really crazy, but just interesting how we can learn just from being; I guess this is what being a sponge is like.

So, as mentioned in the last post, I have another job added to my list for the moment. Coffee, or rather, fantastic coffee plays a big role in this creative environment. My love for coffee has grown even further, as I can properly appreciate the delicacy of steamed milk in a cappuccino.

one of the best things ever...

So, across the street from the studio is the lovely ocean; and this is on a lovely day in December. I've been able to pull my lovely co-workers away from the computers for a moment to enjoy this.

Hi,

So, I've been pretty busy lately, with all these jobs going on at once-I've always wanted to have a bunch of odd jobs, although these jobs really aren't that odd.

Anyhow, I'm currently interning at this super cool design studio in Santa Monica, right across the street from the beach and I think I'll be able to commit regularly to this.

So, I was visiting at a friend's house and she had this poster hanging in her bathroom, and I don't know about you, but the first place my eyes went was for the wording-the typeface in particular: Fruit of Doom. So, I get that the imagery is supposed to be ironic, but, is the type choice supposed to be ironic as well? Because the typeface is pretty classic, maybe institutional, structured? I don't know, maybe it's supposed to be ironic like the imagery, but it stuck out like a sore thumb, and I think it ruined the poster...
