Speak to me in a language I can hear
Humour me before I have to go
Deep in thought I forgive everyone
As the cluttered streets greet me once again
Tomorrows just an excuse away
So I pull my collar up and face the cold,
on my own
The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet
At the blasphemy in my old jangly walk
Steeple guide me to my heart and home
The sun is out and up and down again
And for a moment I lose myself
Wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
I've journeyed here and there and back again
But in the same old haunts I still find my friends

For some reason, I remembered a tune from a commercial I use to see many times when I was a kid. I couldn't believe I found it on youtube, but here it is. Something about the music and winter atmosphere gives me a warm feeling inside.
The Grid System
Published on December 9, 2008
Grid design is a fundamental skill of any designer. Understanding proportional relationships, white space and composition are all vital in constructing a grid for any delivery platform - web, print & real 3d environments.
Lots of things are designed to grids - city blocks, Interior space, building exteriors and of course books, and more recently websites. Why is this formal arrangement of lines so comfortable to us? What makes horizontals and verticals work for a huge range of applications? Think about it, why are they everywhere?

Divine Proportions
Published on December 9, 2008
Since the Renaissance, many artists and architects have proportioned their works to approximate the golden ratio — especially in the form of the golden rectangle, in which the ratio of the longer side to the shorter is the golden ratio. The rationale behind it is the belief that this proportion is organic, universal, harmonic and aesthetically pleasing. Indeed, being evident everywhere in the universe (in fact, many things around us can be expressed in this ratio), divine proportion (which is also called Golden ratio, divine section, golden cut and mean of Phidias) is probably the most known law of proportion which can dramatically improve the communication of your design.
As Mark Boulton states in his article Design and the Divine Proportion, “one of the key components in the vehicle of communication is composition, and in design schooling it is something that is taught as something you should feel rather than create logically.” Hence, to comfort your visitors with a pleasing and intuitive composition it is often worth considering the Golden ratio. So what exactly is Golden ratio? Basically, it is a proportion 1.618033988749895 ≈ 1.618 which holds between objects placed within some context.

Digital Trophy
Sunday, August 10 2008 - Posted 10:30 pm
My career started out pretty rough straight out of school back in Columbus when I had a hard time finding my first job in design. Things turned around when I took the jump to New York City, and I'd like to post some recommendations from people i've worked with. I've been very fortunate to have worked with some great people not just on a professional level, but on a personal level.
“Over the 2 years that Jin worked for my company as an Art Director/Designer, he proved himself to be a dependable, knowledgeable and talented designer in both print and Web. His skills in Flash and other Web programs are exceptional. He is also a creative thinker with an advanced intellect and needed little guidance. I recommend Jin highly.”
Bob Ericksen, President/Creative Director, Ericksen Advertising
“Jin is one of the most consistently great designers I've had the pleasure to work with. I know that any project that gets sent his way will be done quickly, professionally and at a very high level of quality. His attention to detail is fantastic, and he learns and adapts faster than almost anyone I've met. I hesitate to give Jin a recommendation, simply because I don't want others to know how good he really is. Having him on my team is that important to me.”
Sean Johnson, Vice President and Creative Director, EducationDynamics
“Jin is a highly skilled, talented, and hard working designer. He is very efficient in his process and is capable of completing large amounts of work quickly and on time. Overall, he is enjoyable to work with and has proven to be very reliable over the years.”
David Tannenbaum, Project Manager, Education Dynamic
“Jin is a creative designer, always finding creative solutions for his work. He was a pleasure to work with because he was on top of his projects and got them done well and on time. If you need something well designed and professionally designed, he's your guy. He makes design look easy. His attention to detail and his technical skills are above average. Overall, a great person to work with. I definitely learned a lot from him.”
Romy Cordero, Design Coordinator, Education Dynamic
“Jin is an outstanding designer with a flare for interactive design and package design. His web experience was enlightening and refreshing. I look forward to working with him again in the near future!”
Magno Parada, Creative Director, Group M
reported to Jin at Ericksen Advertising
“Working with Jin was a complete pleasure. He is creative, hard working and comes up with smart ways to get things done. He is willing to put in whatever work it takes to complete a project and always comes through and delivers no matter what snags a project may hit. I enjoyed working with him and hope to again soon.”
Jon Price, Project Manager, New York Capital Partners
“While Jin and I worked together so many years ago, the work that he was doing was awesome, and ahead of it's time. I can only assume that not much has changed since then...”
Michael Askew, copywriter, Costello Nardechia Advertising
Aunt is in the hospital
Tuesday, March 18 2008 - Posted 10:40pm
Got this email from my sister tonight:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey,
Remember I told you Columbus aunt was in the hospital.
Well, she has breast cancer. It does not look good.
Her cancer has spread.
Minson's mom and dad will be here tomorrow from NY.
Uncle John was crying when he called them. Because she
is so ill he told them to come out here soon if they
want to see her one last time in case she passes. She
is unable to breath on her own and she is extremely
weak for any kind of surgery or treatment.
First time I saw her lying in the hospital bed was
shocking. She was so thin and fragile. It is
profoundly sad what has happened to her. Out of all
her sisters, she has had the hardest life.
I will keep you updated.
Young
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It came as a shock to me when I heard about it last week, and now again tonight. I feel so bad for my uncle as they were so close for many years. They couldn't have kids, and now with my aunt so sick, my uncle will be very hurt. It's weird because my last memory of her was at the barbeque's we had in Columbus. Her cooking was one of the best I ever had. I haven't been in touch with my family as much as I should have, but I need to appreciate them all and be thankful.

I'm working on a new job for Brand Buzz, a division of Y&R. They are looking for a
