Thanks to Sparked.biz, an art & design collective directed by designer Geoffry Gertz (my wonderful brother!), I learned about an amazing site called Doodle-Buzz. (Find out more about Doodle-Buzz here at Sparked.)
When I played with Doodle-Buzz, I started thinking about its relevance to a theme for artwork that I’d been contemplating. About 15 years ago, or something like that, my husband gave me an advertising poster for Adobe featuring the words “mind, heart, what is art?” I still have that battered poster in my office (where I make a living as a graphic designer), and lately, I’ve been wanting to work with those same words in some collages.
So, when I saw Doodle-Buzz, I had this idea of doing a search and creating a graphical news feed (you’ll just have to read about Doodle-Buzz, and you’ll understand) using first the word “mind” and then the word “heart.” I used the graphics created in the collage you see above. I’m not sure if this collage is finished, but I thought the whole concept was interesting, so I wanted to share. The close-up image below shows the Doodle-Buzz part more clearly. I’m looking forward to experimenting more with Doodle-Buzz and collage.
