The Third & The Seventh from Alex Roman on Vimeo.

A FULL-CG animated piece that tries to illustrate architecture art across a photographic point of view where main subjects are already-built spaces. Sometimes in an abstract way. Sometimes surreal.

Everybody remembers Sony’s Bravia Bouncing Balls comercial where colorful, inoffensive bouncing balls dance across a city street, right? Nissan remixed that spot a few months ago and replaced the bouncing balls with bowling balls.

A Question that you have to ask yourself is “What is your online image”. It doesn’t matter if you post it or someone posts about you, its on the internet for the whole world to look at. A big misconception of alot of users is that if you delete something that you posted online, is that it is gone forever. Wrong. almost simultaneously as you post something, it is archived, indexed and saved by many search engines and other sites.

Since almost everyone including there pets are online now, all you have to do to find out any information about anyone is to just google them. This has led people to start self censoring themselves online, by either deleting any questionable content on there twitter, facebook, myspace etc. Or making a completely new profiles that are there to act as a decoy for people who are trying to find out infromation about them, like employers. This may only be a band-aid for the problem.

“Clients (including prospects) may see what you post on the Web, so consider what message you’re sending with your online image.”

What else prospects find about me can have an impact as well. Even though certain sites are designated as professional (e.g., LinkedIn) or personal (e.g., Facebook), what curious candidate client isn’t going to check out the photos from the bachelor party posted on Flickr, the political rants on a personal blog, or the NSFW humor linked from Twitter accompanied by the profound commentary “lmao”?

That’s not to say that you shouldn’t be open and genuine online — just that you need to be aware that anyone may see it.

“I didn’t get into design to be an artist. To me, an artist creates things to evoke emotion. Being a designer goes a step further than that, not only trying to evoke emotion but trying to make a reaction. It is very objective-driven, and that’s what makes it interesting.”

Also this month, I will be moving into a 1bdrm apartment with my fiancée (yay to no more roomates) so packing and getting ready is starting to take up most of my free time from work, but its going to be worth it. Another reason why August is going to be a special time, it means that it is only 1 year until i get married. One year is going to come and go before i know it.

This is just a quick update of things that have happened, is happening and things to come. Needless to say, I have been keeping busy and looking forward to every minute of it.

Stay Tuned.
