I'm Nicholas. A designer living in Omaha, NE.

I’m not Batman, but I do post a daily photo of his routine in my office. Also, AIGA Nebraska is doing some kind of design war or war of design or great battle of design wars. All I know is they’re doing twenty-five minute competitions and one of them is design a logo. Close to my hour thing I’m doing soon, but they make it seem more cool to do it in less time. Screw that. I win.

Also, when I’m not feeling so ready to fall asleep I’ll be reviewing some work or lack of work I did last year, starting with one of my favorites, Analog.

Two one inch buttons I randomly made several months ago. I like buttons. I love the idea of trying to capture something with the ability to be so much on such a small space. Then you can attach them to something. Plus, they’re circles and we all know that means they’re not threatening.

Someone once told me that when he got a full-time design job, he figured he’d go home each night and do nothing but still design. However, that isn’t what happened. It isn’t what has happened with me, either. Well, at least for the first thirty days or so.

Sagmeister Inc. have updated their website with a new take on the old site.

I was rather surprised this morning to find out out it’s a live stream. When I visited yesterday, I thought it was just the shot of the office, which was clever enough. However, I underestimated the scope of it all. Even further, after writing that, I went and captured a new image to show the office alive and buzzing.

From here up, as in literally up on the page and all posts above this, the blog will be different. I don’t have as much to document, or not document now, so I figured why not go slightly more traditional and showcase other work that I find online. While still showing some of my own, as I’m working on a few posters and what not.

Plus, here and there stories from my increasing experience in the professional world. So, as I do best, I evolve.

I felt something in my stomach that could only mean one thing; mistake. I forgot to check the dimensions. Even an idiot knows what twelve plus twelve is, and the idiot that was making his way towards me was no exception. The only thing he was an exception to was healthy living. I could hear his oxygen mask from two hundred feet away. Not really, but I imagined that I could. Almost like a dinosaur stomping as it makes it’s way through whatever universe our creator let them explore before he decided for no reason, to destroy them. Well, almost all of them. The Loch Ness monster managed to escape the powerful wrath. I couldn’t help but wonder if our creator had stock in Scotland. It’s the only explanation. Well, that or Nessie doesn’t exist. Bullshit. If the creator exists, the mythical creature definitely exists.
