Hey. I'm Kyle.

I've been doing print and digital media for over 10 years now. I work as a Marketing Developer for a company you've never heard of in a small Texas town.

This blog is mostly a random stream of consciousness with a few bits of work I have completed.

It is not a portfolio.


        I am thinking about work
    

            “I’m really hoping the rest of this week goes well.”

Downloading Vimeo Videos

Just now, I had a client who needed me to edit a trailer for one of their projects, but all they had was a video on Vimeo as a source. This ultra-useful thread describes a method for building a download URL for Vimeo files.


        I am listening to Foxy Shazam
    

            “”I Like It” is an *instant* classic, IMO… it’s a tie between that and “I Wanna Be Yours” for my favorite track on the album.”

I hit a creative block the other day. I was in a bad mood and hating everything I was working on. It was finally time to pack it up, so I did - glad to be rid of a crappy day.

I was expecting today to go about the same, but suddenly I found myself motivated, in the zone, and the creative juices flowing.

What changed?

I honestly think it was taking time to stop and look at others’ designs. We say this kind of stuff all the time, but it really is so true - if you’re looking for inspiration, look no further than Google. Allow yourself time to ogle someone’s website or carefully study a photo, a photoshop brush, a tutorial of a cool technique… basically ANYTHING to get your head back in the game.
