Here’s a sneak peek of the almost finished newhampshireiceclimbing.com website. We went for a very clean, and also very bold look. Easy to navigate, and loaded with really incredible images from Kevin Mahoney’s various climbing trips. Check it out!

And it was really, really interesting.
Helvetica, a movie about a font (oh but it’s so much more than that) was great. It’s a film about design, typography, design culture, creativity… the list goes on and on. It most definitely speaks volumes about the difficulty and skill that is involved in making a font. There is a good bit of generational commentary as well; computers and their role in design, what the younger generations are doing with fonts.
Overall, if you’re a designer, and want to get a 360 degree view of a font that you see (or use) often, as well as get some insight from some great designers and fontographers… check it out. Worthwhile, no doubt.
The vote is in, and congratulations to all! The new members to the NHVT AIGA Board were “overwhelmingly” voted in. The 2008-2009 board members (with the new members starred) are:
Again, congratulations to all of the new members; let’s make it a great 2 years!
It’s always an honor to be considered for things of this nature. I’m really looking forward to contributing and helping further develop the NHVT AIGA Chapter as it moves forward. Please take a look and get to know the other proposed members (as well as yours truly), and also visit the AIGA site to learn about how the AIGA continues to be the organization for designers across the country. Awesome.

A little about the NHVT AIGA:
AIGA NH/VT is the 57th chapter of AIGA, the professional association for design, a non-profit organization 20,000 members strong.Founded in September of 2006, AIGA NH/VT brings together designers of New Hampshire and Vermont committed to furthering excellence in design as a broadly-defined discipline; a strategic tool for business; and a cultural force. Through events, exhibitions and educational opportunities, AIGA NH/VT is a place for design professionals and students to exchange ideas and information, participate in critical analysis and research, and advance education and ethical practice in our field.
Well, at least the first page of it is up… and the blog is up. Here’s a sneak peek at a blog post that I just finished. Tell me what you think!
Yet another way to get squared up with some awesome images (if I do say so myself) is to visit the new Rovettidesign page on Photoshelter.com. After a good bit of research, I decided to upload some choice shots to Photoshelter for mass consumption. You can check them out HERE.
That’s all for now. More blog magic is coming soon… sorry I’ve been away. I’m just busy. You’ll see more from me really soon. Don’t forget to check out my royalty free stuff at Photoshelter!

Holy cow. Not many places assault your eyes like Vegas. Design has many forms… and I can tell you that in Vegas, there’s beauty and there’s a lot of beast. We stayed at the Riviera; not too bad, but really old. Not really the new part of Vegas, which in a strange way made it extra cool. Blue haired ladies pissing money down the drain on slots, cheesy shows, and air thick with creepy perfume and cigarette smoke. It seems like everyone smokes in Vegas. Very nasty. It was a special treat that work took me here (the 2008 SHOT show, at the Las Vegas Convention Center, which is a whole other post…) Here are some snapshots. Enjoy.
Remind me to never forget to bring all of my camera equipment ever again. Walking out of a restaurant in Salt Lake City, we saw lots of lights. Then we saw a plume of flame belch out of a window. With my Nikon P3 point and shoot (I decided to forego bringing my complete camera rig), I snapped a bunch of shots of the blaze. Next trip I’ll not make the mistake of missing out on such a good opportunity to get some quality shots. As I know right now, there were no injuries, as it was an abandoned building. I think it was called Club DV8 when it wasn’t abandoned…. and on fire.
For those that don’t appreciate the link right before this one… here’s a nice chickadee that I shot (with a camera) on my deck a few days ago. They are getting fat off of our treat-laden Christmas tree!
