blog following march 20 - 27




While sifting through the new material on netdiver.net, I came across the website of an illustrator named Kyle Webster. So his work is cool enough (nothing I think is SUPER new and exciting but well executed nonetheless) but what I liked about his website was his "Kyle's brain" section. It seems as though he has designated a portion of his website that acts as a blog, a really good idea because it keep people coming back to his website, even if most of the content isn't knew.
Anyways, the topic this week was his frustration with companies that could not understand that illustrators could also do design and vice versa. He discussed how organizations like to see them as separate entities when really one person can be good at both. So this got me thinking... even though we might come out of this program with the skills to do a whole BUNCH of different design/illustration etc. will we be pigeon-holed as magazine designers?
