We had the pleasure of interviewing Aaron Bloom, a graphic designer based in Seattle, whose typography and screen prints blew us away!
How long have you been a graphic designer?
For a little over five years now.
Do your personal projects differ from your professional work? If yes, how so?
Yes, and no… Most of my professional work will always be about creative problem solving with a strategy behind it. My personal work is all about experimenting so it doesn't really have to do anything, it can be more of a feeling, it definitely influences how I approach my "work work". Ideally I'd like to blur the line between the two as much as possible.
In this series, we'll look deeper into some of the projects on Behance.net that were especially admired in our community. This time, we spoke to Madame Peripetie, whose work with fashion, sculpture, and the human body is inspired by everything from Dali to Hitchcock to 80′s post-punk.. In a newer work, "Dream Sequence" (soon to be published in a book!) see her signature aesthetic in these sculptural, truly unique pieces.
What was your inspiration for this project?
The project started in 2009 as a commission for one of the NY magazines and turned into a long-term project that I have been photographing infrequently ever since. It was inspired by the Salvador Dali dream scene from the Alfred Hitchcock's film Spellbound and is closely connected to archetypal dreams (investigated very closely by Gustav Jung) that occur in a transitional period of one's life and often leave you in a sense of awe and reverence, staying in your mind long after you experienced them. The main idea was to create unconventional characters that radiate the contemplative and poetic artificiality of Sugimoto's wax sculptures, the hallucinogenic beauty of abstract surreal objects and incorporate physicality and intangibility at the same time. The hypnotic visual experience is being intensified by ephemeral flowers, hazy light and illuminated black background.
Can you describe your process in creating this project?
It is a very analytical approach towards a very specific color palette and a strong composition involving both solid preparation – costume and model-wise – and experimental approach on set where the magic happens! It is a mixture of theatrical images that has been composed fully by myself and also in collaboration with a stylist Rolf Buck. The 2012-2013 part is being created together with a stylist Stella Gosteva and make up artist Marina Keri, who both understand my vision completely and implement the ideas with an immaculate precision and skill. It is difficult to say how exactly a character will appear and evolve – sometimes it is the garment I see somewhere that inspires me, sometimes the texture and shape of the flowers that capture my attention or an unusual model that is being transformed into a bizarre persona. In the end, the interaction of all elements constitutes a final result.
Did you go through many versions and iterations before coming up with these final pieces?
The project fluctuates, the characters transform, the light set up differs from time to time and it is becoming more and more mosaic and complex to tell the same story with a surprising, bold twist. I find myself comparing the actual part with the older one – but it is pointless in a way because I see it as a perpetual creative process with heterogeneous evolutionary stages connected by the architecture of proportion and chromaticity.
Do you feel that this project is "done," or is there anything you'd like to improve on or change in the future?
The series is planned as a book and exhibition this year and i will take it from there and see if it can evolve into a video work.
Did anything interesting happen as a result of the success of this project? (fans contacting you, job opportunities, blogs picking it up, etc).
You contacted me for this interview! Yes I have been receiving plenty of emails and messages, I shot a campaign and met several inspiring and very talented people. I had a pleasure to collaborate on the new set of dream sequence photographs with a fantastic team from BOO. design (Ana&Amy) that created beautiful paper pieces especially for this project.

Two candidates are being interviewed for a leadership position in your company. Both have strong resumes, but while one seems to be bursting with new and daring ideas, the other comes across as decidedly less creative (though clearly still a smart cookie). Who gets the job?
The answer, unfortunately, is usually the less creative candidate. This fact may or may not surprise you – you yourself may have been the creative candidate who got the shaft. But what you're probably wondering is, why?
After all, it's quite clear who should be getting the job. Studies show that leaders who are more creative are in fact better able to effect positive change in their organizations, and are better at inspiring others to follow their lead.
And yet, according to recent research there is good reason to believe that the people with the most creativity aren't given the opportunity to lead, because of a process that occurs (on a completely unconscious level) in the mind of everyone who has ever evaluated an applicant for a leadership position.
From studios to cubicles, creative work can come from anywhere. In this series, we'll be taking a peek at some Behancers' workspaces. We asked Twitter followers to send us a picture of their workspace one Wednesday. Here's a roundup of some of our favorite #WorkspaceWednesday images.

SARASOTA COUNTY — An audit released by Sarasota County details major problems within the Sarasota County Area Transit bus system, including cash left unattended in SCAT offices, more expensive parts contracts and lost grant revenue over a period of two months.
The audit comes three years after a similar audit was done on the SCAT bus system, which serves nearly 3 million riders per year. County Administrator Randall Reid said a lot of the recommendations in the 2009 audit were not done. He said SCAT does a lot of business by cash or tokens, and that has caused a number of accounting issues.

I have questions, and I don't seem to know anyone local who can really talk with me about these subjects.
I have the "Dual Basic Windows" hosting package through 1and1.com. I'm updating my website, and I want to integrate a good forum package - I have some money to spend on it, if necessary. XenForo seems really great, but it requires MySQLi - and 1and1 only provides MSSQL on my package. I could convert to a linux package which supports MySQL - but that means losing a year's worth of data / e-mail / etc.
I don't know what to do. Should I suck it up, backup my data, and switch to the linux package? Will that work? Are there other potential difficulties regarding XenForo installation on 1and1 that I could anticipate? Is there an equally good forum package I could use instead?
HELP ME! (I do have a budget for this task, so I'm very willing to pay a modest amount for someone who can help me get the job done well.)

King of the Mountains
It is surely appropriate that cyclingnews.com has garnered an 'exclusive' by having Robert Millar write for them during the current Tour de France. For only a few years ago the Scot had apparently become something of a hermit, happy to go about his daily existence without concern for the public face of modern professional cycle racing.
It's an odd concept that someone who proves themselves particularly adept at entertainment in the public eye, has little option but to become a 'personality', despite that aspect being often very far from the reasons they became involved in the first place. It is also a particularly British concept to elevate our heroes and heroines to lofty heights, only to tear them down again at the least sign of weakness.
Just ask Bradley Wiggins.
Millar achieved fourth place and King of the Mountains in only his second Tour de France in 1984, then subsequently failed to scale such lofty heights (no pun intended) again prior his enforced retirement in 1995. This is not to say that his career was devoid of triumphs elsewhere, but his last professional win prior to leaving the peloton was stage five of the Tour of Switzerland in 1991, the same year finishing in 72nd place in the Tour de France.
It is a curious co-incidence that to date, Wiggins has emulated certain elements from Millar's career: fourth place in the Tour de France, winner of the Dauphine Libere, and becoming British Road Race Champion.
I have no doubt that many a journalist in Millar's heyday cursed their luck at being asked for a soundbite from the Scot, yet his later writings for Procycling magazine showed a wit and insight that many in the professional media seem to lack. The fact that he has agreed to write about the 2011 Tour, if nothing else proves that he still keeps a close and exacting eye on proceedings. Yet for the many, Millar has never really 'gone away'; he seems still to be held in high esteem by fans who were not even born when he donned the polka dot jersey.
Unlike his namesake, David Millar, Robert has made no moves to publish an autobiography, though in a washingmachinepost interview almost exactly two years ago, he stated "..but I have the title if I do." So in the face of this almost fastidious quest for anonymity, why has Millar's star not only endured, but improved?
One answer may well be the fact that cycling stars in the UK are few and far between, another that eccentric behaviour is seen as quintessentially British (Scottish?) and thus considered endearing. But I really rather think that it was his no-nonsense approach to what has more recently become something of a circus. It's hard not to admire him simply dropping Jimenez on the Peyresourde in his first Tour in 1983, and disappearing off into the distance to take the stage from Delgado. No fuss, no amateur dramatics. If subsequent statements were a tad abrupt, don't we just wish we had the cojones to do the same? Sometimes?
So, as we all watch to see if Bradley can fulfil his much vaunted potential in the 2011 Tour, it may be worth reading the comments of one who has been there, done that, and got the teeshirt. We are unlikely to see his like ever again.

Great Article.
For me Bob Millar has the quality that Simon Mottram has been asking for the current crop of riders to display; Panache. Whether he was winning the polka dot jersey, riding shotgun for Stephen Roche in the Dolomites or pacing Pensec up the Alpe.
A great rider and now an insightful writer

Robert Millar will always be my greatest climber - and his wit, intelligent commentary and PANACHE is a delight. Having had a picture of me winning a hill climb riding a Peugeot printed alongside an advert for Peugeot with Robert Millar on the same page of Pro News in the early 80s, I almost feel like I know the man ! I have never met him, though, but for all our sakes, Mr Millar, keep writing !

As a junior racer, Millar was one of my heroes, along with Joey McLoughlin, also at one time a Z-Peugeot rider and who could have gone on to become possible Britain's best ever pro-cyclist. Millar made the Pyrenees his own in an era when 'pure' climbers dominated the mountain stages while the battle for GC went on behind them. I can still picture him in my mind, climbing onto the podium in 1984, resplendent in the polka-dot jersey. I also clearly remember him winning the Tour of Britain in some style, in fact he looked like he was on a training ride. Pure class, a real champion & a great wit to boot. It would be great to see another Brit on the podium this year, emulating Millar's heroic feats.

The band started out in Arles, a village in southern France, during the '70s when brothers Nicolas and Andre Reyes, the sons of renowned flamenco artist Jose Reyes, teamed up with their cousins. Their eponymous 1988 album sold tremendously in France and appeared on the Top Ten album charts in 12 European countries, including England; in 1989, it spent 40 weeks on the U.S. charts and went gold, becoming one of the few Spanish albums to do so. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Col du Galibier
Galibier — even the name has the sound of impending doom. Everything was new and fresh, the inches of pavement were spilling quickly under our tires while broad, sweeping vistas opened around every turn of the road. Day after day we ticked a few Col's off under our collective belts. The 'we' would be the familiar face of Ben Lieberson, myself and a few newcomers yet to be introduced. There was the Col d'Izoard with all its painted glory. Colle della Finestre had the forthcoming Giro d'Italia breathing down its neck, and the Col de Granon its twists and turns that end with the sickly sweetness of gravel. Treacherous and beautiful at the same time. These were, and are, all formidable opponents, but none of them are The Galibier. Besides, if you get up to ride anything at 2 in the morning it will seem all the more daunting.
Here is your first sneak peek. Spotted here at the top of the world is a look at the new Pro Team Jacket and a new color of the Winter Collar.

Apple's mea culpa works wonders in China
Apple CEO Tim Cook's apology to China over his company's warranty apology seems to have succeeded in reducing tension with the Chinese government.
Global Times, a state-run media outlet in China, today wrote that Apple's "apology letter has eased the situation, softening the tense relationship between Apple and the Chinese market," according to Reuters, which was first to report on the statement. The Global Times also said that Apple's apology was "worth respect."

FAA Bill Would Change Union Formation Rules to Count Abstainers as Votes Against Unionization
March 28, 2011 - by Donny ShawFor years, congressional Republicans have held back the Democrats' leading labor bill, the Employee Free Choice Act, by arguing that it goes against the basic democratic value of free and fair elections by allowing workers to unionize without holding a secret ballot election. Now that they have a majority in one chamber of Congress and more control of the legislative calendar, however, they're pushing anti-union legislation that would undermine the concept of fair elections by counting workers who don't show up to vote in union elections as votes against forming unions.
The bill, the FAA Reauthorization and Reform Act of 2011, is on the calendar for debate in the House later this week. Section 903, buried on page 260 of the 261-page bill, would undo a National Mediation Board regulation stating that workers in the aviation and railroad industries who are eligible to vote in a union election but don't show up to vote are not tallied and not factored in the results. The previous NMB rule that the bill would revert to states that workers who don't show up are tallied and counted as "no" votes. The NMB only regulates union formation in the aviation and railroad industries. Union elections in all other industries are tallied using fair rules, so this would be an exception for airlines and air transport companies that stand to benefit from blocking their workers from unionizing.
McJoan at DailyKos says the bill would "essentially codify vote fraud in organizing elections."
According to TPM, the Communications Workers of America is distributing a report to members of Congress today that illustrates the unfairness of the bill by looking at what would have happened to the bill's sponsor, Rep. John Mica [R, FL-7], if similar rules governed his election to the House:
Rep. Mica received support from 69% of the voters in his district who cast a ballot in his successful 2010 re-election campaign, amounting to slightly over 185,000 actual votes tallied for him.
However, if you add the over 83,000 voters who voted against Rep. Mica to 312,000 eligible voters who did not participate, then Rep. Mica would only muster 32% of the overall total – falling far short of the majority needed for election. Rep. Mica would lose handily to the 68% of "voters" who chose his opponent or were non-participating voters whose absence was counted as a vote for the alternative.
Over his career, Rep. Mica has received more campaign money from the air transportation industry than from any other industry, by far. In the most recent election cycle, both the air transport industry groups and airlines themselves gave more money to Mica than to any other member of either chamber of Congress.
Rep. Mica is pictured above.

This whole thing stinks. First of all, no one should be forced to join a union in order to work. Then the Republicans further mess up the whole issue by creating a fraudulent method of voting. Abstain or absent means just that.
IF people are abstaining from voting for fear of what the union might do to them, then that says something about the union and fear should never be allowed as an incentive to abstain or vote against one's own principles.
The thing is also rotten in that the unions donate lots of money to Democrat campaigns (conveniently not mentioned) and the corporations give to the Republicans. Either way, the taxpayer gets screwed. If the corporations get tax incentives, then the tax has to be made up by the taxpayers. If the unions get concessions, then the consumer has pay more for items or services.
I hate both parties. There's no difference between them. Spam Comment
Seriously mshughes? The reason people who want unions don't show up to vote is because they're afraid of what the company will do to them if they do show up. They'd rather be safe in case the vote doesn't go through.
If you want to allocate abstaining votes to political elections, then the same concept should be applied to union elections as well.
My analysis is simply from a statistical standpoint. Allocating abstaining votes in political elections serves no purpose as prorata allocation doesn't alter the outcome.
A fear of union retaliation is common, and well founded, but fear of company retaliation is a new position .. do you have specific supportable examples where companies retaliate against voting employees? -
I am speaking from personal experience. Three different companies I worked for threatened to fire anyone who voted to unionize and in an attempt to bust the union, the last one tried to open a subsidiary that was non-union. When the workers made it clear they intended to become a union shop, the company said they'd shut it down. The workers voted for the union and the company shut down the shop. The company was sued by the union and the union won. The company paid out settlements to each individual worker equivalent to the wages they would have earned until retirement.
I don't know where people are afraid of what the unions will do to them. That fear certainly doesn't exist around here. Seems to me if people were afraid of what the union would do to them, they'd vote for the union rather than abstain and open themselves up to the union's wrath.
Spam Comment
Changing the meaning of the word "Abstain" to "No" is just plain wrong. They should have a right to not give an opinion, particularly when they recognize that they don't know the facts of an issue or even see two sides to the issue. This is no different that forcing a Yes or a No and excluding Abstain.
Spam Comment
"Over his career, Rep. Mica has received more campaign money from the air transportation industry than from any other industry, by far. In the most recent election cycle, both the air transport industry groups and airlines themselves gave more money to Mica than to any other member of either chamber of Congress."
This illustrates a common problem in politics and government regulation, in general. We like to think that government is neutral with respect to its regulation of industry, but it's not. Lobbyists exist because of the regulators.
It's about time the majority of folks in this country wake up before it's too late.
Our country is not controlled by government but by big corporations who make up there own rules as they go along…The real question is…What can we do about it besides complaining?-
The best thing we can do is get our state legislatures to have a backbone and fight for their rights to control their states under the 10th Amendment. It's a lot harder to influence 50 legislatures than just 1 and requires an enormous amount of resources to get the same outcome in all 50 legislatures.
For example, if the air transportation industry spends $1 million this year on lobbying in Congress, then they would have to spend probably somewhere around $35 – $50 million to lobby all 50 state legislatures to get the same outcome, which includes hiring more people to do the lobbying.
It's also easier for citizens to watchdog their state legislature and change things than it is to watchdog Congress, which is almost impossible for most citizens to visit every year and meet with their representative.

Video evokes emotion.
Video drives action.
Video engages, educates and inspires.
Pretty powerful stuff, isn't it? Video can demonstrate and can connect with people in ways that static print can't: it stirs the senses. By sharing your story through video, you add a crucial human element to your message. Viewers will see, hear and feel what you are all about. Creative video production breathes energy and life into your organization. And since a carefully crafted video provides visual, audio and textual information all at once, your message is delivered more efficiently and more effectively.
Take a look at the statistics and you'll see why having a video component is no longer nice to have, it's a must have. Consider the following:
- There is up to a 700 percent increase in viewer engagement and response rates using online video compared to traditional text and graphics. (Flimp)
- Despite the increase in online videos, the average person still watches more than 143 hours of television per month. TV ads make up a significant portion of those viewing hours. (Nielsen)
- Video in email marketing increases click-through rates by 96 percent. (Implix 2010 Email Marketing Trends Survey)
- Press releases that include video components receive a 500 percent increase in views. (Eloqua, April 2010)
- Your business is 50 times more likely to appear on page one of Google search results if you have video on your website. (Forrester Research, January 2009)
At Snowy Peak Entertainment, we use our expertise, experience and enthusiasm to create videos that we are proud to hand off to our pleased clients. We work tirelessly to ensure the entire process is seamless from script to screen. And all the while, keep our clients in the loop so there are no surprises.

Portland OR. Interior Design Blog
We are so excited to share our most recently photographed project. This fantastic home is nestled in a beautifully wooded landscape in Tualatin, Oregon. The redesign focused on the desire for entertaining while keeping a casual feeling in this comfortable family home. Brock Design Group created this clean traditional look using white cabinetry and moldings with beautiful architectural details. The black granite is easy to clean and the look is softened by a textured, leathered finish. Taupe subway tiles create warmth on the backsplash and the brick set installation gives a classic detail this kitchen required. Deep, rich hues on the walls and flooring are a perfect contrast to the white kitchen cabinetry and the beautiful lighting fixtures add a touch of the homeowner's character. The cabinet bases in the kitchen and laundry room have unique architectural detail that capture the eye and add depth. The aesthetic is a clean and updated traditional that suits this family's lifestyle.
Brock Design Group is happy to assist you with any of your design needs!

Raise taxes on everyone; no exceptions. Cut spending for everything; no exceptions. Use the additional revenue and the savings to pay down the deficit, not for pet projects.
The problem with that is it does not buy any votes on election day.
