Branding and logos

When on a deadline for a design project and the client is slow to provide collateral, I often visit Best Brands of the World's web site. They provide free downloadable vector logos, more often than not including those of the client I'm working with. It's one of those essential sites I keep in a bookmark folder called Resources. Take a look at it here and see if it works for you.

This has nothing to do with computers or sketching, everything to do with the representation of forms in a medium one might think unsuited to solid modeling - paper. A wonderful site for anyone who loves the marriage of mathematics and craft. http://www.langorigami.com/

Google SketchUp blog

A post illustrating the potential of SketchUp Pro's Layout feature for a small visualization consultancy from the SketchUp blog here. SketchUp Pro may seem expensive ($495) since it's possible to do so much with the free version, but that extra 20% functionality gives it 80% more power.

SketchUp is tightly integrated with Google Earth; the ability to exchange information between the two - and the possibilities this generates - will be the subject of a Studio Cruz event in July or August. A SketchUp model of the studio is shown above.
