Gonna CHOKE a BETCH

Is anyone else really overwhelmed with everything? I feel like being really emo right now, but OMG. I want to go Godzilla on something and raise a rampage! I want to scream till I cannot speak anymore! I want to cry! There is just WAY too much stuff to get done, not to mention my posts for the progress on this blog are being succumb by time and abyss because I have been fighting back disorganization from two classes I have and rather annoying pile of 'TO DO' list yelling at me! TO MUCH STUFF = EPIC DO NOT WANT! Why must due dates be up in the air? Why must there be a bunch of busy work in the way of the major important stuff? WHY WHY WHY!?

BEHOLD(!)

Magazine + School + Flod + Homework + Life + Classes + Foot + Computer + 15 Dolls + Strange obsession with the movie "The Duchess" + Lonliness + Economics / Voting + a very sad Serger and Sewing Machine + Lack of Happy Margarita Time with Cheesecake = Sama Wants ta' Choke a Betch.

Anyone else feel the same way? *cackles*

TNR Must go

So I have decided that I am completely fed up with Times New Roman. It has enjoyed its place in typographic history for far too long. It has been preferred by teachers, students, and everyone else too lazy to change the font when working in Word. I must admit I too have succumbed to its classic grace. I have found myself too lazy to change the font. But today I say no more! no longer shall I resort to it, instead I will take the time to choose something more enjoyable. I will persuade others to think outside the box, and teach them to admire the finer typefaces found all around. I will move all whom I encounter to explore alternatives that better represent their content.

All who agree, Join me in protest!

What are the rules for stories?

Is our focus on Denver born and bred? or is it open to anything that passes through? I guess what I am asking is in the case of Modern Dog, are they fair game, because they are passing through Denver, or are they off limits because they are not from Denver? Thanks.

Its Your Time! Only You Can Do It!

This is Zer0Mile Managing Publisher Mr. Peter Miles Regenold Bergman checking in with my first foray into blog contributing & motivational typing.

The staff (at right) of this moving-target bi-annual have inspired the initiation of this entrepreneurial initiative with their capacity to DO MORE! We’re tasked as a “design studio” (AKA Advanced Type class at Metropolitan State College of Denver) with 19 distinct campaigns of collateral, mailers, brochures, and packaging for clients (both real and imagined). BUT we’re designers & artists & artist/designers who aren’t satisfied with merely making good client work. As creative people we want to invent information beholden only to our own intellectual curiosity and desire to create. 

So, we decided to REALLY & TOTALLY stress ourselves out by publishing a magazine!

The current staff will graduate on to better things in a mere two months. The incoming spring studio staff is undoubtedly a talented and smart group; but, the designers surrounding me now have knocked my socks off, folded them, and set them next to my shoes. So, in contemplating the Herculean task of concepting, naming, writing, photographing, designing, blogging, marketing, producing, and procuring the hosting and printing of a www and magazine in a mere 10 weeks, I looked at the faces around me – already slacking from the grind of client work– and decided to rally the posse to saddle – up to head out from Zer0Mile.

As we contemplate the short but steep climb ahead, I’d like to take this opportunity to pass along the my admiration for you all and the sage advice of our colleague Mr. Scott Surine. 

“Its your time! Only you can do it!”
