I started these concepts a long time ago after seeing how bad the Windsor Salt packaging had gotten. I assume the general population doesn’t think about salt packaging because… who cares, it’s salt. But if I’m going to have a box of this stuff sitting around my house for years, it might as well look nice.
(I know, I know, most people fill cool salt shakers and don’t think twice about the packaging, but wouldn’t it be nice to have that little visual surprise every time you opened your spice cabinet?)

This is the first in a series of sites that I redesign just for kicks – sites are chosen based on a personal interest in the subject matter and visuals. (current site for comparison)
I have had the Tissue Culture & Art website bookmarked for about 5 years and in that time, the Victimless Leather section hasn’t been updated at all. I think I discovered the art project after attending an awesome STELARC lecture at York, or maybe just in passing from my fascination with bio-art phase…
In September 2009 I noticed that their home page said “new website online 3/08″. This had clearly been up for a while. I emailed them to see if I could lend a hand to their awesome project in any way (still no reply). I was bored one Saturday in November so I started a redesign of the logo, business cards, and website for TC&A, purely for fun.
On a side note, the Victimless Leather project was recently included in MoMA’s Design and the Elastic Mind exhibit (which I sadly missed). They had to kill the coat because it was growing too much. Totally creepy, totally amazing.

An oldie from earlier this year with a couple of tweaks. This chart is especially meaningless now since I only buy Honeycrisp™ apples… (the TM is for real…).

Welcome to the new blog! It was kind of annoying setting up the Wordpress theme, but we made it, apparently! Exclamation marks!!! I spent 15 minutes trying to figure out why my additional blog styles suddenly stopped showing up before I realized I forgot a single } curly bracket somewhere… I think Sass has ruined CSS for me.
Anyway… feel free to leave a comment if things look messed on your computer. Soon I will start adding some stuff that I do in my spare time, like drawings, arts/crafts, meaningless infographics, and (ugly) websites that I re-design just for shits and giggles.
Soon… for serious.
