Creative Inspirations: Drawings by Moonassi

January 10, 2011

I first encountered the work of Daehyun Kim, also known as moonassi, on the wonderful website Escape Into Life. Moonassi was born and still resides in Seoul, South Korea. He studied traditional Korean painting at Hongik University.

In his pen and marker drawings, moonassi employs a minimalist aesthetic to brilliantly illustrate the most subtle and intangible qualities of human relationships. Almost all feature two nearly identical figures, which the titles suggest represent a “me” and a “you”, in some form of engagement with one another. There often seems to be an inequality inherent in the figures’ relationship, and their interactions often appear strained, perhaps even hopeless. And yet there is a great tenderness in these illustrations. Strange and paradoxical, they capture something very real.

All images are presented here with the artist’s permission. To see more please visit moonassi’s website.

Design Optimization: Are You Still Not Split Testing?

May 24, 2010

Many beginning designers share a common misconception that design is all about creativity and inspiration, and of course the necessary technical skills. Certainly these are essential, but professionals know that the bottom line when it comes to design is performance. If you consider yourself more an artist than a designer, this is never an issue. But if you are doing design work for a client, it’s THE issue. You may create something very elegant and original, but in almost all cases the real goal is not just improved appearance but improved outcomes.  And to know if your design is really working as intended, or could be improved further, you have to test it.
