Things I should have posted over the last 3 weeks (6 of 10)
June 4th, 2009I have added a section to my blogroll to track some talented young Oklahoman graphic designers. The first three on the (admittedly incomplete) list are all worth checking out.
AdBrad
Oklahoma State student Brad Ulrich offers up his thoughts, along with a number of really clever design solutions. Brad keeps his blog fairly up-to-date and it is well worth a regular read.
Seth Clark
You might remember Seth from his winning entry in my t-shirt contest. Seth is a Visual Communications students at the University of Oklahoma and has put together a solid design portfolio. Seth is also a contributor to The Apache House, a great design blog.
Tate is also a Visual Communications students at the University of Oklahoma and fellow contributor to The Apache House. Tate has some really impressive work, including this printed ink on canvas piece that uses a repetitive pattern of the shape of the State of Oklahoma that when viewed at a distance reveals the Osage Warrior Shield found on the Oklahoma flag.
Also, check out these billboard designs proposed for the Oklahoma City Zoo.
SUPPORT THEM
These are just a few examples of the long list of talented young artists we have in Oklahoma and it is really important that we encourage and support them however we can. After all, we certainly want them to (want to) stay in Oklahoma. It would be great if Oklahoma City could become a place for great design. It is possible, we just have commit to making it happen!
