Smithsonian Magazine (1 of 3)

Design is not a career, but rather a lifestyle. Looking at photography and other design is not good enough in today's competitive field. You must be proactive and infuse yourself into all field-related work possible. For me, this could be fashion design, interior design, art, photography, web design, baking, and sculpture. Along with subscribing to design and art magazines, I also pick up other reading material such as the Smithsonian. This past issue featured upcoming photographers that are getting a lot of publicity in the design world. I was very intrigued by many of these artists and read most of their bios. Here are some of my favorite from the issue.

Tomeu Coll: His photographs represent life in his native island of Majorca. He shoots mostly in black and white.
