Need a New Phone? I Have Answers

When I think of holiday gadgets, I only think of one thing. New Cellphones.

This year for the last issue of The Triangle, I deciding to put together a simple guide identifying all of the best smartphones on each of the four major networks. I also made sure to include a section on the more budget-friendly smartphones for those who don’t want to break the bank.

Take a look at the few article at The Triangle’s website. The full size PDF is available there as well.

Holiday Gift Guide: Cellphones

Overall, it was a lot of fun to take this feature all the way from writing the article, to art direction, and finally to layout and production. Thanks to Sarah Michelson for taking all of the additional photography for the article.

Did I miss a phone that you think is awesome? Let me know in the comments.

Hello Philly Apple Store

Last Friday, I got a chance to go to the grand opening of the Philadelphia Apple store. And by chance, I mean wait in line for and hour and a half and get a free t-shirt. Sure I’ve done similar crazy things in the past, but this one didn’t even have much of a point to it. I didn’t even buy anything. Sure, I did get an extra-large t-shirt that says “Walnut Street”, but that’s it. Five minutes after I entered the store, I was ready to leave. I did however, stay longer.

And to a greater point, I did write an article about the entire event for The Triangle, as well as take a ton of photos.

I Didn’t Write It, But I Did Design It – 2010 Orange Brick Awards

The Triangle is one of my favorite places to be. Not just because of all the great people there, but because I get to chance to publicly express my creative side, whether it be laying out a basic page; creating a fun, but informative feature; taking pictures; or (my least favorite activity) writing an article or editorial.

This week, I got to create one of the most fun features of the year and even better, in a two page full color spread! The Orange Brick Awards are the annual funny, snarky, self-deprecating awards The Triangle’s editorial board gives out where we poke fun at ourselves and Drexel. While I didn’t have to write anything, I did take control of creating and laying out the spread from start to finish. I even took an original photograph for the background.

Unfortunately, the only way to really appreciate the spread is to see it in print, due to its immense size. So, if you have a chance, go pickup a copy of the June 6th issue of The Triangle. It will be on newsstands until June 25th. For those of you not in the University City area, you can view the feature online in my portfolio at KeithHobin.com
