The end of DIDesign

Okay well not really. A couple of months ago I stopped and looked at my brand identity and I was a little disappointed with what I saw. I wasn't disappointed with my work but with the name of my identity. To me DIDesign isn't a very creative name for a brand and to be honest I kind of slapped the name together in like 2 minutes back when I first started. I also felt that sense I've moved more into photography that the name DIDesign doesn't really apply to both of them, it only really applies to design.

So there I was thinking that I need a new brand that had a more creative name, something that was more orignal and I could use for anything. My solution was fairly easy and was pretty much staring me in the face since even before I started DIDesign. Anyways to cut to the case my new brand identity well be known as RapidConversation.

RapidConversation basically covers everything I was looking for in a brand. It was more creative and original, plus I could use it for both Design and Photography. Now I'm sure you're saying "Devin, what the hell does the name RapidConversation have to do with Photography or Design" and all I have to say is if James White can Signalnoise for his design brand when neither Signal or Noise have anything to do with Graphic Design, then I think I can use Rapidconversation for Design and Photography.

Anyways pretty much everything I have that was under the name DIDesign is now RapidConversation (except for this blog). I'm going to start posting my pieces on my other blog, which is already called RapidConversation. I don't plan on deactivating this blog or anything simply because I'm an ass and I don't want anyone else to have it.

.....oh and I technically made the switch from DIDesign to RapidConversation over a month ago, I was just to lazy to type something up about it until now.

So today me and a couple friends of mine had to go out to look for some clothes that my friend Alex could use in her Harry Potter costume. We decided to go to a local thrift store called "Frenchy's". While looking through the "ODDS" bin, which is just random things like movies and stuff, I found a Suntone MM500 film camera. I purchased it for the low, low price of $5 + tax which came to like $5.75 or something. 

Unfortunately for Alex, she was unable to completely find what she was looking for, so we went to a second thrift store called the "Salvation Army". Again while looking around I stumbled upon a Minolta HI-MATIC AF2 film camera which I obviously had to buy sense it was a Minolta. I got it for $8.99+tax which came to $10.35. It cost a little bit more then the other camera but was totally worth it.

I'm actually really excited about getting these camera and I'm really looking forward to using them at the moment. I currently have 8 rolls of film that I need to get developed but sense I have a job now I'll actually be able to afford to get them done. Of coarse when I do get them developed I'll post them on this blog for everyone to see.

Designed as part of an assignment for my Design class. The black words are tourist attractions and places of interest, the yellow words are adjectives and the red words are areas within New York City. There is a total of 92 words. It was challenging to come up with enough words while trying to fit them in.

This is the product of my boredom.

I designed this for one of my design class assignments. I had to design something inspired by the lyrics of a song. Awake My Soul is a lyric and as well as the title of a Mumford and Sons song.
