I love using Google Trends! One reason I like it so much is because it gives you a peek into the collective minds of millions of people. Clearly, lots of people are getting iPod covers for Christmas. You also can see a nice bump, (near the end of 2007) when Apple introduced the latest generation of iPods.

• iPod cases - Blue
• iPod skins - Red
• iPod covers - Orange

Another reason that I like it is for marketing purposes. In internet marketing it’s important to know which of your keywords are the most active. By looking at the graph, it is obvious that the keyword “iPod cases” is going to be the most effective. Once you know what your most effective keyword is, you can begin to build your content around it. (Example: Sweet iPod cases at Rooski.com… coming soon!)

Today I thought I would try my hand at being Pablo Picasso.  I started making a few faces using Mr. Picassohead.  Then I decided to gave the man an iPod, which was kinda tricky.  I made the iPod out of two noses, an eye ball, and some other random objects.  For the earbuds I used two eyebrows turned sideways.  I think Pablo would enjoy it!  Next up…. sculpting.

My name is Matt Mattson and I’m the designer/artist for Rooski.  We’ve been really excited about getting Rooski out there to the masses.  These iPod covers are going to be Sweet!  They have been so fun and challenging to design.  We have a rooster named Rooski who is our mascot.  Though he pecks at the keyboard and isn’t the best speller, Rooski Loves to blog, so watch for those.  Anyway, back to the art board to pump out some ultra-tasty designs!
