Yosemite and Rock Climbing

Rock Climbing is always looked at as a fun, challenging sport that tests your strength and your decision making. It will make your arms feel weak and your hands cringe. Your legs will be worked out and to stay calm will be the best. So when you go out and climb you are harnessed in and if you fall you will be caught. But why not just free climb? That is where Yosemite comes in. There are many rocks around the park that are a straight vertical climb in which you just use your arms and legs to get up the wall.(They still have ropes but only to catch them) Many people have free climbed here, so are you in?

 

Mauna Kea

This is simply a volcano in Hawaii but that ids not what I am blogging about today. I have wrote a number of blogs on different locations across the USA that all have options for adventure but I always said go and do what you want. Here, I want to introduce you to a new sport where you can do in the USA. It is called volcano boarding. Why not take sand boarding and a volcano and put them together. Take the beauty of a volcano and the thrill of living on the edge and have fun.  

Here is a video of a man boarding in Nicaragua

Boston

Boston is not like others that I have wrote about but if you want to travel the USA you need to go here. So much history is within this city and it is a wonderful, historical place. From the Red Sox's to the marathon, it is a city with so much to offer. If you want to see animals, go to the aquarium. If you want history, go to the harbor. If you want sports, try the Garden. Do not forget to try your accent too!

Inspiration Post

Something that I have learned in college is to love white space. There is something about the emptiness of space around and in-between words and images that makes it so much easier to read and comprehend. White space can be added to a design that has too much information and needs a breath of fresh air.

Lines. Nothing more than a whole bunch of dots together but when put in the right spot just amazing. Lines can change any work into an art piece and make it so much easier to read. Lets take a flyer for instance. When you have a whole bunch of words on a page you may not know what goes with what but if you apply lines then you can have direction. I think that is why I like them so much. Direction. It makes life easier.

Inspiration Post- Typography

Taking a ride to my hometown, Cleveland. Not many enjoy the city and I am not a city person myself but I have passed this landmark many of times and it is historical in itself. The giant rubber stamp is a landmark and sign that displays "free". The story is nothing but just a piece of art but it is in my home city and is the worlds largest!

Inspiration Post- Color

You can see that many of my posts have different colors in them but the one that keeps reoccurring is blue. Why blue? Because blue represents refreshment and water. Doing these post's are a refreshment and reminder of my dreams to travel the USA sometime and visit all these wonderful paces. Water is what I love to explore. Frozen or liquid, the beauty in water is one that can be a natural wonder or even a man made dam. Some may suggest that blue represents sadness and grief but I say that the only sadness in these blue colors are the fact that we are reading them over a computer screen and not indulging ourselves within them.
