Clever Titles Are Hard…

There’s nothing I would love more than to think of a clever title for this post and for this blog. But I’ve always been pretty weak at naming anything.

What I’m not that bad at is noticing good (and bad) design in everyday life. So this is a blog about what I’ve seen.

A Blog in the Making

This blog has been quite a long time in the making. Mostly because I’ve lacked the motivation to get off my keester (figuratively speaking, because in actuality, I stay on my keester to write the blog) and actually start this thing. I’ve also had a personal reservation with starting a blog because I wasn’t quite sure how I wanted to go about writing it. At first, I thought the blog (and the entire Midnight Skies Design website) should be professional. In this case, I seriously sucked at writing interesting content. It always came out so boring and cliché.

I then decided to try and write naturally, more or less how I talk in my everyday life. My odd sense of humor will shine through and it’s so much more enjoyable and easy for me to write this way. I’m hoping that readers will enjoy this blog because of that. I’m also hoping that it will help me to keep up with this blog. I would really like to see this take off.

Walmart Trips

Most things I post will probably be package designs that I find at Walmart. With a large family, I’m at Walmart quite often and I notice some really interesting designs on packaging. It seems like even the generic packaging has begun to step up its game on design. I’m seeing some really cool things that I’d like to share my thoughts on and you are invited to share thoughts as well.

Sometimes, I’ll even be able to purchase the item and describe how it tastes, which I think will be a fun experiment. In any case, there are a truckload of really cool designs that I have seen that all deserve a blog post, so be ready for more!
