Who Is Ian?

 

Ian Palzer is like, a guy, I guess? Doer of Graphic Design, Video Editing, Art, Amateur Game Development, and a lot more. I put 'amateur' before game development, but honestly all those skills are amateur. The point its though, I have an interest in those topics! And as long as I have an interest, I'll keep doing them, and keep getting better at them.

So, invest in me now, as at these rates I'll be infinitely powerful in another twenty years. Or, at least, I'll have a couple more things to list on the website.

Wait, Who Is Tourtle?

Tourtle is the brand name of Ian Palzer's design, which has been used in a variety of ways in a variety of places. There's a Tourtle account on about half of social media sites, credit to my Web Technologies class. Tourtle also appears in a lot of my work, especially Graphic Design work, due to his ease of addition and his likable style.

Tourtle is a simplified image of a turtle, you may recognize from where, that's also purely black and white. Simplicity in shapes and colors is a style I enjoy a lot, as seen most evidently in my tea project, but is present in even works like the Saturday album. Tourtle represents that, as well as being a recognizable brand, so his use is nearly guaranteed.

Except, I did avoid using him during the entirety of this semester. Uh, why? Well, I had a lot of good ideas for our projects, and those ideas stood on their own without shoehorning in a brand. Sometimes the best use of a good brand is knowing when not to use it, and let things stand on their own. Sometimes, I'm just Ian.
