Process Map - 02.04.2011

The best thing about flowcharts..

I've made a lot of flowcharts over the past couple weeks at work - I love this. I'm crazy about organizing processes and data. One of my very favorite things about the flowcharts is taking the labels off and looking at the design that happens because of the process. A good process will create a good design. Let's look at a couple from last week. I must admit, I think these are pretty darn cool looking even if the process isn't perfect.

The one below is nice, but definitely looks like silos of action feeding into a single point and then being distributed. Doesn't look like an efficient process. I smell bottleneck.

Check out the one below. In the bottom half, there's a lot more stuff going on over on the right side. The design doesn't communicate an even balanced process.

So, obviously, these are not final process charts, but it's cool what assessments can be made about a potential process with the labels off. wheeeeeeeeee!

Rapidiograph Apples

 

In my last apple blog post, I'd started thinking about backgrounds and composition. I stepped back from that. I'm really enjoying just drawing and not creating anything finished with these. 

Here are a couple more sketches. I like this style.. Maybe even more than the color pencil drawings. Been drawing some bananas and pears too, but I like to keep with the apples as a common denominator.

Lilya Brik Russian Constructivism T!

This is the last in the series for a minute or two...Hope you're enjoying them!


Wax poetic and celebrate Soviet Constructivism wearing this iconic art history t-shirt depicting famed "muse of Russian avant-garde," Lilya Yuryevna Brik!

Brik - renowned for being the muse of poet and painter Vladimir Mayakovsky - adorns this white 100% cotton American Apparel t-shirt as she appeared on the cover of Leftist Front of Arts magazine in the 1920's. The original cover design was created by Alexander Rodchenko and has since inspired countless adaptations and reinterpretations.
