Freestyle Session 11 Year Anniversary Posters courtesy of DJ Hektik
Awww yeaaaah! Freestyle Session 11 Year Anniversary starts tomorrow. Hektik called me up to tell me he dropped sum’ off for me and Vince. So, I came home tonight to find these posters sitting on my windshield. Sucks that we won’t be going, but we got some schwag anyway. GLO.
Just wanna say, “Good Luck” to SUPER CR3W tonight.
This is what you get a Jabbawockeez fan for their birthday. See below.
My bro and his girl killed it when they gave this to my son - signed and framed Jabba' memorabilia. I don't know what to say about that. I was speechless when my bro showed me what they had for him. Dope. Just dope.

Project Brief as Submitted by Client
The design flow we use at work goes like this:
1. Client submits a project >
2. Designer creates a mockup (comp) >
3. Designer sends comp to client for review >
4. Client replies back with Approval (A) or list of Edits (E) >
5. If (A), then project gets produced (printed) and delivered to client.
If (E), then designer makes edits and replies back to client with a revised comp (go to step 3).
The process is simple, but sometimes it’s difficult getting from step 1 to step 2. Maybe you’re thinking about something else. Maybe you’ve got too many ideas and don’t know which one to try out. Maybe you don’t have any ideas at all. Whatever the case, you’re at a point where you can’t proceed. It’s called designer’s block. When it happens to me, it sounds like this:
What do I do? How do I want this to look? How does the client want it to look? What else am I working on? How about my personal stuff? I’m gonna be famous, you know? How much time do i have? When’s this thing due? Man, I’d rather be working on something else. This brief sucks. Look at that screen. I wonder how many pixels are on that thing. This write-up’s wack. Did they give me anything else to work with? When’s lunch? Man, I’m hungry. I’ll get on this after I eat. Where should I eat…? Who wants to roll? Where’s my cell?
Maybe it’s not exactly like that. But, you get the picture. If I’m thinking about all of that, how do I flush all of the tangent thoughts out of my head and get focused? I doodle…like a motha!@#$%…like I’m hitting up a blackbook.
Usually I have a blank sheet between me and my keyboard so I can write down ideas or bust sketches. Even if it’s not relevant to what I’m working on, I write it down or draw it. Whatever’s on my mind, I just gotta get it out and onto some paper, napkin, flyer, anything.
Here’s a recent doodle:
Project Brief after Designer's Block
Writer’s call it freewriting. Shrinks call it therapy. Your boss will call it procrastination. It’s all of the above. But, in the end, it gets your ideas out and clears the thoughts cluttering your head - leaving room for you to think about the task at hand.
