Yesterday, I went to Gucci.com, a site I’ve used twice before in previous work. This sketch contrasts three abstractions of the home page from 2005, 2007, and now 2011. Not only does this depict basic changes in Gucci’s design approach over the years, but it also reflects changes in my own approach to abstracting a site.</p>http://artfallsout.spillsomepaint.com/post/7507450028http://artfallsout.spillsomepaint.com/post/7507450028Mon, 11 Jul 2011 16:55:00 -0500website abstractioncomparison<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo6brwiFnN1qc6kbbo1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://artfallsout.spillsomepaint.com/post/7493530751http://artfallsout.spillsomepaint.com/post/7493530751Mon, 11 Jul 2011 09:47:56 -0500Twitter Art<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo4gfgH1e31qc6kbbo1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://artfallsout.spillsomepaint.com/post/7454946545http://artfallsout.spillsomepaint.com/post/7454946545Sun, 10 Jul 2011 09:33:16 -0500TwitterArt<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lngkzeMHJW1qzsxpno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Someone’s got neckwear on the brain.</p> <p><a href="http://manbartlett.tumblr.com/post/7046787849">manbartlett</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>case study <br/>collage on paper <br/>5” x 7” <br/>2011 </p> </blockquote>http://artfallsout.spillsomepaint.com/post/7047121956http://artfallsout.spillsomepaint.com/post/7047121956Wed, 29 Jun 2011 11:11:50 -0500<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnfenkuyBK1qc6kbbo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>LOL.
