Old School Favorites

Check out more gallery images on Flickr Uppercase Gallery’s Old School exhibition finally opened last week in Calgary. If you’re like me and (unfortunately) way too far away to check it out in person, you can now purchase some of…

Tube Type

Not sure what I would use this for, but it’s definitely fun (especially the colors). Find out more about the designer—Thomas Dang—on his personal site or his B&#275hance profile.

Brad Surcey

One of the talents behind the always-amazing work from Duffy & Partners is designer, Brad Surcey. View his complete portfolio, with lots of eye candy and extra large images right here.

Robin’s Clogs

I’ve mentioned before that I love anything having to do with fairytales or fairytale-related imagery— anything that brings me back to the candy-colored daydreams of childhood. So naturally I am in love with this stop-motion music video for Robin’s Clogs…

Jessica Hische

If you don’t recognize the name, Jessica Hische is an extremely talented designer, illustrator and typographer, who works with Louise Fili (whose work you should get to know if you don’t already) full time, and does her own design and…

Color Happy 4

I saw this project on Behance awhile ago. Designed by Vash, it looks as though he has changed his privacy settings or removed his account, so I can’t link to the original project site, unfortunately. The identity system it’s a…

Alphabet Cities prints available!

I just got word through Behance that Craig Ward‘s Alphabet Cities prints will be available in September. The two limited edition typographic designs depict London and New York, and cost $140 each. Get in touch with Craig to let him…

Type Navigator

I may be late in the game, but I just discovered Fontshop’s Type Navigator tool. I’m not sure how long it’s been around, but I wish I had discovered it sooner. Rather than choosing by category—Serif, Sans Serif, etc.—as most…

sixtypound

I just rediscovered this type specimen I had saved from awhile ago. A quote from “Pulp Fiction”—hopefully no one is offended by the curse words—I love the typeface itself (especially those descenders!) as well as the composition. Unfortunately sixtypound, designed…

The Girl Effect

I read about the Girl Effect in one of my monthly magazines (Marie Claire, I think.) It’s an organization dedicated to empowering girls over the world as our future leaders, in the belief that they have a vital role in…

Model Citizen

I’m one of those people who always loved school—if I ever win the lottery, I’m becoming a professional student. So I’m always really interested to see what the designers in SVA’s Designer as Author program are up to. Enrolling in…

Marie Bushbaum

I stumbled upon the lovely work of Marie Bushbaum on Behance the other night. She is an extremely talented pattern designer. But what I love most about her work is her presentation—she includes tons of illustrations showing how the patterns…

Color Happy 3

This palette is definitely unique, and the design—by Helmo, out of France—is so intricate and layered. I see something new every time I look at it. Their website is in French so I don’t know a whole lot about this…
