Introducing Hashi Mori...

 
 One of the main reasons why I have neglected Filosofia so much
 over these last few months is primarily due to me founding Affect Studio
 with my partner Bjørn Hoffmann and finishing our first project.
 There will be more info and photos arriving here over the next week
 but for now, please sit back and enjoy our just released documentary
 of our brand-new project, Hashi Mori.

The Chopsticks Are Coming for 2012!!

 So the reason I've been so quiet lately is that I've been busy founding a
 design studio with Bjørn Hoffmann and completing our first project and
 documentary. Here is the trailer to get you all pumped up until the rest
 is ready! Happy new year!!

Not only does this make me happy, but also beckons me to channel my inner Britney Spears.
Since we all know we secretly or not so secretly have a soft spot for this song,
let's all take a synchronized 3.5 minute dance break...
C'mon, it'll be good for you!

Logo a Go-Go

     I have been in the process of revamping my portfolio website
     sofia-borges.com
     and deciding on a logo is not easy.

     I began with something a bit heavy and perhaps overly bland.

 

     But that is gray scale.

     And I like color so much that maybe we should make it green instead.

     And that seemed good enough for a while...
     But then my boyfriend started making his website
     and after his first attempt at a logo, I found myself feeling a little jealous.

    By the time he got to his second iteration
    I found myself suffering from a serious logo complex.

    So I experimented.

    This was certainly an improvement from the the first but...
    Maybe it's too cute? Maybe it looks too much like a flying peacock?

    So I tried again.

    Hmmm, better!
    But given the layout of the rest of the website still not really working.

     Having a narrower header makes sense given my more
     consolidated border for my images
     but isn't it kind of weird to have the image bleed into the name?
     Shouldn't it be the opposite?

     Ok that's more like it.
     But now my links don't fit anywhere. So let's try moving my name up a bit.

      Very good!

      Uh, oh, but now Kaitlin just said it looks too girly! What's to be done?

      Should I desaturate?

     Should I change the hue?

     I'm tired!! How about we just compromise.

     So this is where I'm leaving it for now. Which one would you pick?
