Ever feel like this? Didn’t get enough sleep, no clean clothes to wear to work, running late and didn’t have time to eat breakfast? RAAARRRRR

If only this were real, then I’d use my Spiderman super webs to sneak a piece. Wonder how long it would take to eat one whole square?
PDXpo means many things to many people. In its third year under the banner of PDXpo, AIGA Portland is excited to provide this showcase to the creative community. The Expo is an opportunity to stay connected with Portland’s most notable graphic arts vendors and service providers and get real-world answers to design questions; from education, to ink and interface.
Creatives are invited to join AIGA Portland Thursday, March 27 at Portland Center for the Performing Arts as Alicia Johnson and Hal Wolverton, Executive Creative Directors at Euro RSCG in New York, reflect on Portland, and present the creative work their firm created for Amnesty International, the Sundance Channel and Miller Genuine Draft, among others. Experience the work of their notable collaborators; the designers, artists, agencies, directors, animators, photographers, writers and musicians who call Portland home. Plus, you’ll get a peek at how their next chapter in New York, shaping Jaguar and the world’s most memorable luxury brands, is playing out for two of our city’s most formative design icons. Keynote begins at 8:10 p.m., Winningstad Theater, PCPA.

The Evolution of a Sustainable Society will be featuring EcoCharge - a free standing module that uses renewable energy to charge portable electronic devices. EcoCharge is the classic example of finding a new way to solve an existing problem. In an earlier post, I explored the idea of using renewable energy to charge cell phones.
The EcoCharge concept has grown to in include charging services for cell phones, PDA’s and laptops - all while using renewable energy sources. Below are some samples of the brand collateral that have been developed to date.

I’m reading this amazing treasure chalked full of inspiring, yet simple ways to tap into one’s creativity. Children are the root of everything. They’re full of uninhibited curiosity and creativity. As we get older, many of us a forced to adhere to a rigid style of learning and expressing ourselves. The uninhibited slowly becomes the inhibited and we forget how to let our minds be free. Truly successful creatives have unlearned “the learned”. They understand the importance of work hard, play harder.
Curiosity didn’t kill the cat. Curiosity gives us the opportunity to explore, research and play with ideas that are just begging to be brought to life. We all have ideas. It’s what you choose to do with them that sets you apart from everyone else.
I’m about half way through this book and nearly every page is marked up with scribbles of excited ramblings. I love it! Here’s a few of my favorite take aways thus far.
” Attitude is more important than facts.”
“Those who believe they can, can; those who believe they can’t, can’t. It’s as simple as that.”
“The only way to know you’ve gone far enough is to go too far. And going too far is called failing. But if you don’t go far enough in searching for an idea - if you don’t fail - you can’t be sure you’ve got the best idea. Don’t try to avoid failure. Embrace it. It’s a sign that you’ve gone far enough. You don’t know you’ve succeeded until you fail.”
“Failing makes you fearless. Failing sets you free. Failure can become the motivation to keep trying.”
“To swear off making mistakes is easy. All you have to do is swear off having ideas.” -Leo Burnett
