005: Graphic Design Rage

Why is it when you Google Image "graphic design" you always get this?

From napleswebdesign.net
It's worse when you Google Image "graphic illustration". Now, I'm not saying this bad, I love these kind of things. But this is what a majority of people must think of right away when you think of a graphic designer: minimalism and a thousand circles and lines with gradients all over with eye-popping colours.

Obviously that's not what it's limited to but it's something that has always bugged me even before I wanted to start doing this. It's cool, but it just seems very overdone now and I haven't seen any unique examples that stand out from the rest lately.

Breaking my Tuesday-Thursday schedule plan to update this blog since I don't have outside work this week until the end of it. (When I say outside work, I mean a job that is not related to graphic design, but let's not get into that just yet.) I've managed to personalize this blog a little with a new banner as well as some other things added. Note the word "personalize" and not "spice things up/make it look better" since I know where the fine line is between those two. Let me know what you think with some comments or some feedback!

I'm also looking for some affiliates, as well as anybody who wants to promote their website or services right now. Hit me up as well on the comments or drop me an email at vcruz (at) live.ca and I'll get back to you ASAP!
