Suffice it to say, it will (most likely) no longer be a “brand identity” blog, as I have indicated previously. Honestly, who knows what it will be! What i do know, thanks the the aforementioned post and blog, is that I am a sanner and Multipotentialite, and having a blog is a good way to process thoughts and findings and i think im ready now to really make a go of it!

Admittedly, this is all a little abstract and subtle. However, it is so very important. Every aspect of a business’s communication needs to be consistent in message and tone. Whether it be the logo, a newspaper advertisement, commercial spot, or PowerPoint presentation, consistency is key. Think of these not as separate elements that you need for your business, but as essential communication tools. These are all chances to simultaneously reveal and define a different aspect of your business’s voice, vision and message.

I have gotten a new server and I am currently building a completely new site from scratch! Right now I only have a placeholder up. Soon I will integrate this blog seamlessly into the site so there won’t be a need to link over.

I am doing this because I will be able to create a site that will be completely customizable. I plan on creating a site that will be a home for both my Photography and my freelance Graphic Design business (Taylor Gillis Design).

So stay tuned!

I recently found these works called “Drawings Without Paper” by Gertrude Goldschmidt as I was searching through the MoMA site. I hadn’t heard of her before. I love these works. They are designed to be hung away from the wall, with light shining on them in order to cast a shadow.

From the MoMA site:

“Towards the late 1960s Gego conceived the environmental wire sculptures that she called Reticuláreas. Fundamentally geometric, these weblike structures can be configured in an endless number of ways, thereby transforming the exhibition space. Drawing without Paper comes from a series of the same name, created between the mid–1970s and the late 1980s, that consists of three–dimensional metallic structures made of wire, thread, and various found objects. Normally installed close to the wall, casting a shadow, the piece incorporates the space around it by leaving its trace the open field of the gallery. The three–dimensionality of this drawing is related to Greek skiagraphy (shadow writing) and emphasizes the thickness of the lines.”

Really cool stuff!
