Inspiration for work & life as a designer.
I am incredibly impressed with the extensive?project that Kelli Anderson recently completed for New York institution, Russ and Daughters. Working alongside?Jen Snow, the project encompassed everything from the identity to menus and packaging, to signage, wallpaper and the exterior facade?a truly admirable feat. Be sure to head over to Kelli’s post about the project which […]
Kelli Anderson‘s latest creation is an incredible paper piece commissioned by Adobe for distribution at the annual AIGA national conference. They left the format of the project open-ended, and so Kelli came up with The Existential Calculator, a piece that employs the format of a paper calculation wheel to tackle a question that all designers face at […]

For more from Karen, be sure to check out Absurd Overheard and follow her on Twitter. Enjoy! I’m sure a lot of you are familiar with Kelli Anderson’s work. […]
For her Typo San Francisco talk, Kelli Anderson created these incredible paper type experiments. Each one features intricate letters—mostly white on white—that are cut, shaped and folded out of paper. I can’t even begin to comprehend the time that went into creating each one of these pieces—patience is not one of my strong suits!—so needless […]
Kelli Anderson recently completed a complex series of infographics that explore the topic of “Buying a Gun in America,” for the Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG) “Demand Action” initiative. The results are fascinating; and Kelli did an impressive job at breaking down such intricate ideas into interesting, easily digestible visuals. Be sure to check out this blog post to […]
If you follow Kelli Anderson on Dribbble, as I do, you may have also been anxiously anticipating the launch of her latest project, a pair of newspapers to accompany Martha Rosler’s recent Meta Monumental Garage Sale Exhibition at MoMA here in New York. After catching small snippets of the work for the last couple of months, I was excited to get a […]
I was disappointed that I couldn’t attend Kelli Anderson’s Creative Mornings talk back in July, so I’m thrilled that the video of her talk is now available for viewing. View below or right here. via Swissmiss
Kelli Anderson’s latest project is this stunning press invitation and program for a recent Brooklyn Philharmonic concert. The invitation package includes a beautifully type-laden invitation sheet with perforated detailing, housed in a whimsical brownstone sleeve. Each draw from visual elements of the past to reflect the rich history of Brooklyn. The program of the event does […]
Like so many others, I’ve been admiring the infographic snippets Kelli Anderson has been posting on Dribbble over the last few months. So I was super excited to receive a first look at the full-size versions from Kelli last night (the Christmas tree is my fave). Be sure to click on the images below (where […]
I’ve posted about Kelli Anderson several times in the past, so it’s no secret that I’m a big fan of her smart, thoughtful and visually arresting work. But I definitely stopped in my tracks when I caught a glimpse of this recent infographic (get a closer look here) she created for Collaborative Fund. With a […]
You may remember Kelli Anderson’s Dig for Fire identity I posted a few months ago. Well, now the site has launched, and it is a whole work of art in itself. In addition to the design—which perfectly complements the previously designed print pieces and is full of interesting details—I am also super impressed with how […]
Unfortunately, all of the pieces of this packaging design suite for 20×200 by Kelli Anderson weren’t produced this year—hopefully they’ll pick it up for the 2011 holiday season. I’m a big fan of 20×200, and an impressive package like this would certainly make receiving a print all the more special. Images removed at the request […]
I posted about Kelli Anderson awhile back, and I was immensely impressed when I discovered her work back then. But I was recently made aware of her newly designed site and blog, and that increased tenfold. The site itself features a custom-hacked Google map on the homepage, lots of beautifully designed web typography and all […]
I found Kelli Anderson through some of her work on Card Observer, and was instantly impressed with both her work and interesting site design.
Kelli Anderson’s standing desk Ikea hack (above) is absolutely incredible. Check out all of the behind the scenes construction details on her blog. Nicholas Blechman chose The Best Book Covers of 2013. via Quipsologies If you’re looking to stock up on gift wrap for next Christmas (I always do this so that I don’t have to worry […]
Matt Stevens has a brand new site! I have my eye on these security pattern paper bags from Present & Correct. Your Logo is Not Hardcore. Side note: I have to say I really do like some logos that employ this trend, but I never understood why it blew up to such a huge degree. […]

If you missed Paula Scher’s recent critiques of the AIGA’s Justified competition, the essays and discussions are must reads. Check out Part 1 here and the follow-up here. AIGA’s Executive Director Richard Grefe also […]
I’m still not 100% sure if I will adopt the Curator’s Code process for attribution. I’m all for citing sources, but I have some of the same questions and hesitations as these guys. However, reading Kelli Anderson’s take on the project has swayed me a little bit, especially when it comes to her beliefs about creativity, which […]
The Curator’s Code, “a standard for honoring attribution of discovery across the web”, is a new project from Maria Popova, Kelli Anderson and Tina Roth Eisenberg that should be of particular interest to blog readers and publishers. Though I haven’t had enough time to read through all of the documentation and form a solid opinion just yet, […]
Good morning readers! Did anyone watch Game of Thrones last night? I was taken aback by the title sequence, which from what I can find were created by Angus Wall and A52 (correct me if I’m wrong). I’m not sure how long HBO will allow this to stay up, but here’s a peek on YouTube. […]
