Creative festival – OFFSET 2012 Dublin
After some heavy pondering I finally decided to attend the OFFSET event in Dublin this March, a 3 days long creative event about art and design. The list of speakers is absolutely amazing so I just couldn’t miss out. There are a lot of speakers that will definitely have some inspiring and motivating talks. Here are some that I totally want to check out. (I’m just going to make this post something that I could’ve filed under ‘inspirational’ as well.)

Trends in cover art – CD covers and originality
I label myself as a designer for music, with a preference for cover art, so I figured it would be nice if I’d write more on-topic about that on my blog. After writing my previous post I thought: “It’s relevant and I like it, so why not write more about it?” So I’m just going to. I’ll try figuring out several approaches on how to write more about CD design and this is the first of a few subjects I will be delving into: trends in cover art.

Venting my thoughts on cover art
Here’s my opinion about cover art, which is based on my personal thoughts on the subject as well as my ambitions as a designer for music. I have to admit that these thoughts aren’t entirely my own. There are musicians (mostly Steven Wilson) who have influenced my way of thinking over the past few years, so you could say that I adopted their beliefs. They shook me and made me think, they made me shape my opinion and it became something I firmly stand for. It even formed my ambitions as a designer for music.

Ambitions – The one I did not make
Two days ago I posted a message on my Twitter and some other channels about having a moment of fulfillment; since I’ve crossed off all but one of my ambitions from the list for 2011. That raised the question from a few people about what that one ambitions was that I didn’t achieve. I was actually quite surprised to see that of every ambition on that list the only one people asked me about was the one which I didn’t achieve. (I guess that’s also due to how I phrased the message.)
