It’s been a busy couple months. I’d like to say that I’ve had to put the blog on hold but quite frankly it’s easy for me to forget have this outlet. Figured I’d make a proper update as there have been, and still ongoing projects that have been really fun working on. First off, my band The AM’s had their first electric set Thrusday night. I’ve been wanting to get my hands dirty with some typography for awhile, definitely felt great to crack open the sketch book to work on this one.
I really want to get one of these Model One radios from Tivoli for my workspace. I love the aesthetic. I hope Dieter Rams would be proud.
PopSlice is an online portfolio building application built by the folks at SemiBig Creative Industries, whom I’ve been working on and off with for a while now. I was excited when they asked me for some branding ideas as I’ve found I appreciate more and more the foundation of process in problem-solving challenges that are inherent in branding projects.
I’ve admired Appetite Engineers (Martin Venezky) work for a while, and it’s great to see some new work.
In the wake of the 2008 presidential campaign, the Obama campaign’s Design Director Scott Thomas has spent a significant amount of his time putting together this book, documenting all of the hard work that went into building the Obama brand. Having just received the book, I’ve only had the chance to quickly look through it and I can say that it covers everything; process, design, art, it’s all there. Kudos and thanks Scott!
These prints from Fountain Studios are beautiful. I appreciate this kind of ingenious approach to an old school printing method, it’s like a new way to experience letterpress process. It’s way too tempting to pick one up on their Etsy store.
