phones and companies

its 3:30 in the morning and i cant sleep. after an exhausting week and a whole sunday of lounging around followed by a long lazy cat nap, here i am. i finished my 1 week assignment at samsung, its been a week where nothing really happened, but many things changed. with the UX team, my job mainly consisted of updating screenshots of the UI screen, updating new measurements & coordinates of these screenshots in their guidelines, and in the end i actually got to make some of these guidelines! (yes, its actually semi exciting..in a sitting down sort of way). working on these reminded me a lot of web design, and i really have to say, my phone screen will never seem same way again.
this past week was also a HUGE moment for one of my new ventures. starting a design company has been in the talks for month and months now with me and some graphic design friends. we officially registered our company, and opened a business account!! having the official papers in front of me made it seem so unreal...this may be my biggest project yet. more to come on my exciting and cool company! =)

eyes are blurry

started my first day today with samsung's user interface design department, day 1 of 5. now i remember why i left the production gig at disney. from the moment you get in the office until the moment you get out, its like real life doesnt happen, you are just a machine for the corporation. the cute thing about the office is that they have lushy green plants all over the surfaces, so its actually quite a nice open space to work. the not so good thing is that im using a peecee, and now my brain is confused (yes, a bit more than usual) with all the shortcuts. why is the CTRL button on the PC keyboard all the way on the far left?? my pinky has never felt so stretched. also, no one really sits near me, so im craving some human interaction

t-shirts t-shirts everywhere

had another one of those days where i worked ultra hard but dont getting paid. i met up early with my friend to visit his business partner for the grand bigsmilemagazine.com redesign project. his friend owns a screen printing company, their office was pretty cool, and seeing all the works in progress makde me want to learn how to screen print! the meeting went well, they had a lot of other great ideas they want to implement during this redesign, and i think its going to be a pretty awesome site! dont forget to sign up! =)

afterwards i met up with my usual work buddy at the tea shop and worked on a logo job i have right now. coincidentally, its also for a t-shirt printing business, called "green t industries". these guys though use a garment printer instead of screen printing, so the textures are a bit different plus they can print more colors & gradients. im showing the logos tomorrow, so i need to finalize tonight!

if anyone is ever looking for stickers, car vinyls or t shirts (or anything else printed on fabric i suppose), let me know cuz i got some awesome sources!
