Market research investigating the market and competition has concluded that a re-brand is needed. Elements requested by the client include a new logo, packaging, stationary, aprons, and an invitation to the grand re-opening. The target market consists of adults aged 20+ with middle to high level incomes. http://www.BRAINfork-design.com/blog/091101_site_overhaul.html http://www.BRAINfork-design.com/blog/091101_site_overhaul.html Sun, 01 Nov 2009 18:14:00 EST 01 november 2009 Following the advice I've received from several of my professors, the site has undergone a fairly extensive redesign. The changes include a reversed navigation menu to resolve a negative space problem and a brand new flash banner above the site. http://www.BRAINfork-design.com/blog/091015_kleenex_boxes.html http://www.BRAINfork-design.com/blog/091015_kleenex_boxes.html Thu, 15 Oct 2009 23:20:00 EST 15 october 2009 Recent project. Four Kleenex boxes with the theme "flora and fauna."

In the article, there was a call out to anyone interested in creating such a shirt. I had first heard about all of this at a Design Intervention meeting shortly after my friend Jessica Apolloni's design had been published in the paper, so I had assumed the contest was over. However, it had turned out that my design and layout professor, Gord Oglan, had made an arrangement with Dalson to allow all of his students to submit a design as a project in his class. http://www.BRAINfork-design.com/blog/090910_waking_life_is_a_dream_controlled.html http://www.BRAINfork-design.com/blog/090910_waking_life_is_a_dream_controlled.html Thu, 10 Sep 2009 19:49:30 EST 10 september 2009 My friend Justin showed me this awesome animated film called "Waking Life." It's animated using a technique called rotoscoping, which involves filming a live action sequence and then animating by tracing over the live sequence giving it a vector like quality. http://www.BRAINfork-design.com/blog/090907_join_the_netfork.html http://www.BRAINfork-design.com/blog/090907_join_the_netfork.html Mon, 07 Sep 2009 19:27:01 EST 07 september 2009 Some new updates have been made to the site. Those with keen observational skills will notice the new netFORK section that has been added to the sidebar. In addition to the more well known networks (facebook, youtube, etc.), I've added a link to my stumbleupon page. In case you're not familiar with it, stumbleupon is an internet exploration tool similar to Digg or Reddit. http://www.BRAINfork-design.com/blog/090905_hello_world.html http://www.BRAINfork-design.com/blog/090905_hello_world.html Sat, 05 Sep 2009 00:00:01 EST 05 september 2009 Welcome to BRAINfork design! Since you've gotten this far, you probably already know that this site's main function is to serve as a showcase for my graphic design portfolio. What you may not be aware of is that this site is also home to my brand new blog (you're reading it right now).
