    <description><![CDATA[Heya!!! How are you?

I'm Lize and I'm a designer. Since joining the DA (Designer Anonymous),
I started to get this uncontrollable urge to design. I must confess my secret love affair with a dip pen and ink. Yeah I know, it's ............black! Before I joined DA I was randomly attracted to colour and well.......mmmm other stuff. DA helped me to organise my chaos in order to achieve my destiny to
Design!

No Seriously! I'm a graphic designer from South Africa. I grew up in a small mining town near Johannesburg.

In 2003 I started studying a Bachelors degree in visual culture and art theory at the University of Pretoria. Along with my studies I also studied some marketing, psychology and film theory courses.

In 2008 I join F.A.D.A. (Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture) at the University of Johannesburg to study Graphic Design full time.]]></description>

      <title>white or wasted</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/lize/posts/text/6696545</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Today I'm feeling a bit down and confused.  I'm in a internship and doing a web design for a SEO/online consulting company.  I like to used white space in my designs, as I suffer from claustrophobia myself.  Whenever I show my designs to my art directors, the one does not "feel" the design and the other ask why I waste the space so much. Next design I filled the "wasted space" and now my design is to busy. When is space wasted or white?
