Grind it…
Sooo, its been awhile since my last post. I found something a little different compared to the others. Something a little more funkier and grundgier 
I’ve been keeping up to date with Grafika (the magazine I first made a post of) on facebook. On the facebook page any member is able to put up links or pictures of anything they find interesting, kind of like how a blog works. I’ve been visiting sites that other fellow Grafika fans have suggested. I came along one called GrindState.com. It had a funky, hip-hop feel in their designs. The majority of their work is photography. I was so pleased to find this site as I’m working on some portfolio pieces and I was needing some inspiration from different genres of design. A lot of their work involves clever words or phrases. They’re actually quite funny. I really enjoy the photo of a record player, with a “hello my name is ‘fat beats’” sticker placed in the bottom right corner.
I am going to try my hardest to achieve this look for one of my upcoming projects. I find it original and something a little more “out of the box”. I think my absolute favorites on this site are the many photographs of graffiti. Since graffiti is just a two dimensional subject I’m definitely impressed by the abstract angles, and different lighting the photographers shot at. Although the subject matter is fairly similar, they’ve done a great job achieving individuality in each piece.
Good Job GrindState I look forward to my hopefully grundgier future!
