With some kind help from the patriarch I got a 21" CRT screen. It's not new, but it's a beauty... 21" on a regular (non wide-screen) tube is pretty big! Especially with a classic CRT with those giant boxes behind it, it looks like it's eating my desk, but I'm more than happy with it. So... I'm back to work and readily available for any projects again.
Yesterday night I found out my computer screen died. It had been coming for a long time seeing how often I use my pc and that it was already aging. Anyways, it couldn't come at a worse time than now since I spent my backup funds on the new appartment and am flat broke.
I can't do any design work without a screen either... just got my laptop here which can just about handle digital designs. So if you or anyone you know is looking to have some web flyers made or other digital graphics, I'm all yours for a reasonable price, just send me a note. Figure if I do a lot of smaller jobs it could add me up to a new screen faster haha.
Anyways, I'm not gonna go for a high-prize screen, just a mid-range of a reasonable size... feel free to leave me any tips if you know any good ones around 20" of about 250-350 euros ($325-500).
Thanks!!
I love this song, and along with it comes an awesome video too. Doesn't get any better than that! The song is called "A Punk" by Vampire Weekend. As the youtube link says "The video was directed by the Hammer & Tongs guys (Blur, Pulp, R.E.M. and Hitchikers Guide To The Galaxy)." Apparently they are from New York and their music is inspired by South African music, reminds me a bit of Paul Simon's "You Can Call Me Al" which is a damn fine song too... check it out!
I entered a contest for Hugo Boss called HUGO Create. Thought I'd have a go at these contests for once. I had only entered a contest once before a few years ago. Maybe a nice fresh change to my usual style, just to show I don't "only do retro stuff" haha
Much thanks to the guys at phase02.org who were kind enough to feature me on their blog. Have a look at their cool site for posts on music and design!
Hugo Boss has a competition at hugocreate.com which is open to entry. Every period the theme changes and currently the theme is The Skyline Is The Limit. For my entry I created a slightly retro-comic oriented design. If you're creative, go to the website and take part ;) They even have a shop section where you can select elements and create your contribution online, so you don't need any of the fancy programs that I've used to participate!
Alright, quick update after yesterday. My internet is working on my work pc so you can reach me again on edwin@edwinservaas.com
Above a little quicky done on my laptop with the touchpad (gahhh!!!) announcing my alter-ego The Trash Sheik ;) So if you see any weird work from my front in the future... it wasn't me, it was the Sheik!
