		<description><![CDATA[I’m just saying that somehow the pineapple became the symbol of hospitality and the banana, well, let’s just say its backstory is more colorful. American colonists began importing the pineapple in the 17th century — this rare, exotic fruit soon became significant to give to guests; and given the voyage between America and the Caribbean [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Comes order. Or does it? Chaos theory is a scientific principle describing unpredictability of systems. The behavior of these systems may appear random, but actually they have order and finite boundaries. This started to sound like the creative process to me. As I’m brainstorming, it appears chaotic. I’m researching the project, reviewing typography, sketching ideas and [...]]]></description>

I figure some design calls for comfort, too. Easily recognized. Predictable. Simple color breaks and shapes. Introducing the Jack O’ Lantern. The carved out pumpkin appearing at front doors in October as Halloween nears. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s hard to believe that “negative space” is favorable, given the term. But it is. In drawing classes, we drew the space around the object — the negative space. Sometimes that space around a subject forms an interesting shape. Sometimes it’s a much-needed visual relief. A pause for the eye. In drawing classes, the professor [...]]]></description>

The visual solution of integrating three separate images into one united image was easier than actually reading the body copy to the client. I attempted to read the two sentences four times until I broke out laughing at my inability to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Several posts ago I spoke of Aboriginal Art — my affinity for this seemingly primitive work. I have yet to determine if it’s because Australia is my birthplace or that this art is wonderfully expressive with simple lines. It’s amazing how a few shapes and repeated patterns and cultural symbols can tell a complete story. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Shangri-La is a fictional place described in the novel, Lost Horizon. It’s described as a mystical, harmonious valley and has come to mean an earthly paradise. I haven’t read James Hilton’s Lost Horizon, but the phrase, those two words are understood as a permanently happy land. As I left my client meeting the other day [...]]]></description>
