PressPausePlay from House of Radon on Vimeo.

A good friend and awesome artist Jim Miller sent me this film to watch.  This film truly depicts what all artist are experiencing in this age. Well worth the watch.

The digital revolution of the last decade has unleashed creativity and talent in an unprecedented way, with unlimited opportunities.

But does democratized culture mean better art or is true talent instead drowned out? This is the question addressed by PressPausePlay, a documentary film containing interviews with some of the world’s most influential creators of the digital era.

Sometimes small collaborators always lead to much lager ones. I was approached by Motorsports of Tampa to build an advertisement for their demo days coming to a local mall. The advertisement was a great success and the art work was admired enough to be used by Motorsports of Tampa and Can-am for the rest of the season.

Layers Magazine’s Last Issue?

Layers Magazine, News, Scott Kelby No Comments


I received my Layers Magazine last month in the mail and was astonished to read that they where releasing their last issue. I have been following Layers Magazine from the time of Mac Design and have seen how Scott Kelby and his gang of design genius have grown from design dreamers to design moguls. This slightly scared me for the fact that I am in the publishing design business and Layers Magazine was always one of those publications I aspired too become- imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. 

As a designer and business man this showed that sometimes as great as you are or your product you may have to try something new or change gears. Scott Kelby and his group knew this, they mentioned that all the staff and would be migrated to their sister magazine Photoshop User Magazine. Scott Kelby stated in his letter from the Editor that as much as Kelby Media Group has grown he thought it was in their best interest to concentrate on Photoshop User Magazine  due to its growing popularity and 70,000 subscribers. They did mention that  http://www.layersmagazine.com with stay active and continue to be updated. As sad as I am too see this publication go I must pay my respects to the business decision they have made.  

Your business can always be changed or re-directed with the proper marketing plan and branding. If you need help with your business or product let Allusive Art Design market and brand your company. Let it be a new look and design or just a new idea contact us .
