I saw this on a box, and thought about what a beautiful and sometimes scary phrase it is. The most important step in any project is getting started with it, and there may be pitfalls and stumbling blocks, but they don;t have to be stopping points. If you like this image, please share it. If you use it, please attribute me, and thanks! (cc-by lemasney)

343 of 365 is a notice to DirecTV #Inkscape #design

 

Note to DirecTV
Note to DirecTV

It’s not DirecTV per se that I have an issue with — I just find that with the Internet, generally, and Netflix Watch Instantly in particular, that there is an amazing amount of content to be had without cable or satellite service.

I really have no idea where this came from. I just decided to mix and match two unlikely objects. And that gives you a razormonkey. Watch out — he’ll cut you.

339 of 365 is made of tiny circles #Inkscape #design

Made of circles
Made of circles

I was inspired to do this by a picture I saw on ffffound — I started with a silhouette, made a small circle, then used Inkscape’s spraypaint tool to fill in the silhouette with clones of the small circle. Because the spraypaint tool is kind of messy and spontaneous even with the tightest settings, most of the work here was moving wayward circles back into the edges of the silhouette, as well as resizing and placing circles to follow the contour of it.

Asked nicely
Asked nicely

I just thought this was a funny way to arrange text, and was looking for a reason for the pieces to be blocking each other.

A moral compass: You’re somewhere in the middle by John LeMasney via 365sketches.org #design #venn #diagram

A moral compass: You’re somewhere in the middle by John LeMasney via 365sketches.org #design #venn #diagram

Here is a Venn diagram that shows what most of us are doing, morally speaking. I believe that we all have all the ability of all the best and all the worst of humanity within us, and that aside from our cumulative experiences and resulting mental health, the only deciding factor in our morality is choosing to follow our self-determined moral compass. Here’s to us choosing to do the right thing.
