A bit more about the blog, Geenius
and me, George Wiscombe
My name is George Wiscombe and i'm the guy behind Geenius. I'm 23 years old and living in London. I am full-time graphic designer (that also loves the web), in my day job I design everything from identities to user-interfaces.
I like design to be semantically correct, syntactically consistent, and pragmatically understandable.
I like it to be visually powerful, intellectually elegant, and above all timeless. Massimo Vignelli, 1994
I've been blogging Geenius since April 2004 but after a massive database crash at the beginning of April 2008 I lost most of my content and have had to start from scratch. A bit of a blessing though really, allowed me to shift a lot of old, dodgy content and reinforced the ever-valuable lesson of 'Backup, Backup, Backup!'
As you can probably tell from reading my posts, i'm a bit of a typography nut and I my love for design far surpasses the 9-5. I'm always up for getting involved in anything creative and would love to hear from you if you have any ideas.
