St. Bernard's Pass

My name is Brandon Bernard. I'm a graphic designer, storyboard and layout artist, and writer. I was born and raised in Albuquerque, NM, and lived in Los Angeles for 12 years. I'm currently in Austin, TX. "Design Intervention" is a virtual scrapbook of things that inspire me. Unless otherwise specified, the work here is not mine.

    New Year, New Things At Design Intervention

    Happy New Year!

    I apologize for the lack of posts lately. I’ve been feeling like a bit of a change here at Design Intervention. Tumblr has me sort of locked into the blog’s title, but I’ve decided that I want to post things here that fall outside of the “graphic design” category.

    While I am still interested in graphic design, I find that my truer passions lie elsewhere. In fact, they’re kind of all over the place: music, art, writing, film… I want my blog here on Tumblr to better accomodate my varied interests. I’m not sure yet how this will ultimately manifest on the blog, but don’t be surprised if you start seeing stuff on here that isn’t what you’re used to seeing. I hope that all of the followers I’ve accrued over the past couple years will stay with me, but if graphic design inspiration was the only reason you followed in the first place, I completely understand.

    As always — in fact, more than ever — I encourage anyone and everyone to interact with me through the “ask” feature on my blog. Likes and reblogs are always appreciated, too, but I would love to have a little more interaction with my Tumblr network.

    I hope everyone had a great holiday, and is looking forward to 2013 as much as I am!

    Cheers,

    Brandon

    Design Intervention recently crossed the 2,000 followers mark, and you know what that means: time to introduce that auspicious two-thousandth follower. + Say hello to Screen Funk, a newish blog where you can hook up your iPhone or iPad with “groovy wallpapers from artists with near-perfect hand/eye coordination.” Looks like there may also be some groovy inspirational links, too! + Thanks so much for following me, Screen Funk! Welcome to DI.

    M is for Monday. For the Romans, it was also for “one thousand,” which is how many followers I’m proud to be celebrating! + M is also for monkey, as in “I Love Flying Monkeys,” which is Design Intervention’s 1,000th follower! Over at iloveflyingmonkeys you can find packaging design, art, inspiration, photography, and “a random collection of things I like,” as the blog’s “about” section informs us. Check it out! And thanks for the follow, iloveflyingmonkeys — so do I. + In honor of this landmark, I’ll be posting a bunch of design related to Fritz Lang’s M and Metropolis. Enjoy!

    This thank-you got to be so long overdue, I figured why not just save it until Halloween? So, a hearty TRICK-OR-TREAT!! to scheza, who is Design Intervention’s 900th follower! + “Scheza” is short for Scheherazade Tabancay, which must have been hell to learn how to spell when she was little, but might be the most fully awesome name ever! She hails from Hollister, California, and her blog is called “Bangg, Bangg, Boggiee!” You’ll find a variety of things at “Bangg, Bangg, Boggiee!” including — but not limited to — the Peanuts Gang dance (always welcome), Spongebob Squarepants (it’s hilarious that spellchecker has no problem with that name), internet memes, and design. Thank you so much for the follow, Scheherazade! Welcome to Design Intervention, and have a happy Halloween!

    Well it’s embarrassing that it’s taken me this long to post this, but a while ago Design Intervention crossed the 800 followers mark. That happened around the time I was three weeks into my new job, and my girlfriend and I got a 3-month-old puppy. Oh, and we also had a house guest this past weekend. So, fiddling with my blog has sunk down to the bottom of my list of priorities just for the time being. + But I’m about to be celebrating my 900th follower, so I thought I had better pay proper respects to Jason Bernert at “Postcards From Young America” (Tumblr name: lilromper) for being #800. Jason posts music, videos, photos and design. Welcome to Design Intervention, Jason, and I hope you’ll accept my thanks for following as better late than never!

    Meet Agent Seven Double-Oh, otherwise known as Dirk Petzold Illustrations. That’s right, DPi is DI’s 700th follower! The blog acts as a clearing-house for “standout graphic design, illustration artworks, paintings, photography, film and motion design” from various creative geniuses in general, but Dirk Petzold in specific. I figure if you’re here and you’re reading this, that’s probably enough said — I don’t need to tell you why you would enjoy clicking through to the blog and hitting that “follow” button… + Thanks for the follow, DPi!

    While I was in Chicago, Design Intervention clocked its 600th follower! It’s diego153, a designer in Toronto with hair that I will steal when he’s asleep. Diego also enjoys performing, producing music, exploring the world, and watching movies — and he’s got the hook-up for that, as a local video store clerk! Check him out. Diego, thanks for the follow! (Was the hair thing too creepy?) + After 10 months of trying to figure out what to do with my time, I am once again employed full-time. As a result, I think I’m going to have to abandon my linked shout-outs to new followers — but please know that I am still thrilled by each and every one, and very thankful for all of my followers, old and new! I’ll still try and make a little fanfare for landmark followers, so keep a lookout for #700, #800, #900…

    Welcome to Design Intervention, everyone! Thanks for following!

    Is there a “Funny Tumblr Name” generator I don’t know about?

    Not only am I thrilled to get that email in my in-box letting me know someone new is following me, lately I’ve also been amused by those emails! With names like “peppermint kryptonite streets,” how could I not be pleased to call these people “my followers”?

    Thanks, everybody!
