Photography Book Recomendation

The book was created by my friend and colleague Leah Do; in this series of photographies she explores the relationship between two worlds, the industrialized world of humans that were felt behind and the world of nature that takes back what its her.
Here is a synopsis written by the author:

It would appear, when considering man’s relationship with the world, that we have created a rather intense conflict between technology and nature.

Factories, smokestacks, chimneys and machinery. Broken-down industrial buildings, decaying walls, industrial waste and detritus... These are remnants of a lost world, when factories were proud milestones of progress, today deserted wastelands, scenarios for stories loaded with bitter emotions. These desolate industrial landscapes without a human soul in sight have depicted our society today, a society of both young and old people who take Nature’s existence for granted, turn their backs and welcome destruction rather than gratitude and appreciation. An industrialized generation.

Have we become soulless and cold-hearted robots and machines - pitiful subjects of modern slavery under capitalism?

The modern human world, with intervention of technology, has somehow crossed the lines and brought to natural habitats nothing but destruction. Nature, on the other hand, invincible and powerful, cannot be defeated or overcome, has retaliated. Will this battle ever see an end? I’m leaving the question open for you to answer.

Industrialized was created in Spring 2015 by Leah Do with assistance and support from Warren Nguyen, a collection of photographed industrial landscapes inspired from David Lynch’s The Factory Photographs. The locations include Benicia and Vallejo industrial park, Town of East Nicolaus, Port of Oakland, Altamont Pass Wind Farm, Richmond’s Chevron factory, Isleton’s sugar mill and canneries, Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station, Kiefer Landfill of Sacramento county and other industrial sites found in Northern California, USA.

My Logo-Case Study

Overview  After identifying my branding, I decided to create my logo. I wanted to create a symbol based on my name David. I wanted to have more than a simple logo, a symbol that represents me and my design. The reason for this choice is to have a logo that can be used in different creative projects; for example, the logo can be used on both my fine art and my Digital Design.     The process I began by identified common shapes, lanes, and patterns on my name. A critical letter on my name is the letter “D”; this letter is a half-circle, and having two, I could complete the full circle. The circle is a universal symbol; it represents the infinite, the self the original perfection. “It implies an idea of movement and symbolizes the cycle of time, the perpetual motion of everything that moves, the planets’ journey around the sun (the circle of the zodiac), the great rhythm of the universe. The circle is also zero in our system of numbering and symbolizes potential or the embryo. It has a
