The true meaning of yellow is square.

Tis a new year and although I didn't post anything by my dedline to say "yay I did it" or "I'm freaking awesome for getting my own stuff done" I do have a very valid reason. I became a carrier for the plague. It had been going around so eventually I knew I would get it but what I didn't count on is I would get it during Christmas and it would last for two weeks. So that unfortunately put me out of commission for awhile but I am finally back to 100% if not for a little lingering cough.

I still can't believe it's been an entire month and although I didn't work on what I said I would initially I still did do something which was my very own and I'm extremely proud of that. I also wish that this could be a longer blog as I have a lot to say but I have a diner to go to and I'm still not dressed for that or bought the dessert either. (yay procrastination!) So I will leave you with a quote that I read in the new issue of CMYK magazine featuring an article with Art Chantry in which they ask him questions about the industry today. The quote that struck home the most was one in which he hit home exactly what I think we do as Graphic Designers.

"In our culture, 'yellow' means something. A circle means something. A square means something totally different. And we use this language to trick folks into thinking differently about something. We try to trick them into making choices our clients want them to make. We fuck with their minds. We’re dangerous people."

So here is something I couldn't get out of my head last night and was up sketching ideas till 2am. Enjoy and I am off to dress and buy dessert type products.
