Up Close and Personal

The Gjetting Creative blog
Trying to revive it, lets see if it flies.

Quick Review Booklist with nearly relevant literature. Updated the previously private only quick review booklist, if this is working out it will be added to the main site in the future.

Creating a memorable logo with the ability to stand out while communicating these attributes: creative, experienced, passionate, process oriented, driven with a good deal of attitude.

The history of the logo goes back to 1997 where I first invented and used it in the form of short funny animations. Colleagues and clients alike responded strongly to the figure and asked to have it as their screensaver. The attitude and poise of the stick figure quickly became synonymous with me.

The Gjetting name signals that this is an individual not an agency. The handwritten typeface resembles a signature, which shows individuality and professional pride.

The symbolism is in the simplicity of the figure, where very simple means combined , just right, carries a strong message commu-nicating a sense of playfulness, personality and attitude. The slightly crooked head challenges and indicates curiosity, while the sensuality of organic materials allows you to imagine how the figure would feel if you could reach out and touch it.

Poetry

Recently I began to experiment with writing poetry in order to become a more well rounded creative and to stop the deterio-ratiation of my language. My poems and ramblings are written purely to learn and for my own entertainment. If it jars in your ears like a deaf man playing the violin, that is fine. If it amuses or enlightens that is fine too, but it is an unintended coincidence. Feel free to give me feedback; I will appreciate comments to sharpen my pen on.

Rock climbing and whimpering

Click to pop-up large images

A barefooted boy scrambles up a tree for no other motivation than doing it. Excitement, danger and joy leads to a wall of rock. Now he needs equipment and the game becomes demanding, yet the reasons are still the same. The rocks captivate imagination and challenge the character as hard walls sharply stands out of the surrounding landscape reaching for the sky.

In short intense time spans, I am exper-iencing the extremes of the human condition. Facing up to fear, while exposed to risk and pure unadulterated joy. Feeling alive; physically, intellectually and spiritually. Climbing for the thrills and the opportunity to gain insight into oneself. Ascending the wall of rock becomes a mean of intensifying and enhancing the experience of life.

I fail, retry and redouble my efforts,
and accomplish a climb at what seems the peak of my capabilities only to go back and attempt to go one step further until failure halts progress once again. I am not yet that good a climber and consider myself lucky to still have many barriers to pass.
