Lorenzo Petrantoni

The current issue of Newsweek features a really cool illustration by Lorenzo Petrantoni, a new-to-me illustrator from Italy. You can check out the rest of his portfolio right here.

What a Fun Project

Assignments like this are what make me want to go back to school. “What would the New York Magazine cover look like after either Obama or McCain wins the presidency on November 4th?”, was an assignment given to SVA Juniors.…

Saltwater

I am usually not a fan of continuously animating logos, but this one does it so beautifully and subtly. Take a look.

The Red Sox Get a Facelift

As a life-long Red Sox fan I’ve been particularly interested in the rebranding the Red Sox have unveiled in the last week or so. Rather than giving an overview here, I’ll just point you in the direction of two great…

Tiny Showcase & Jez Burrows & Evening Tweed

It all started with this week’s Tiny Showcase print, “Celestial Feats”, designed by Jez Burrows, which I unfortunately missed out on. (If you’re in the same boat, the pocket-sized matchbook version is still available for the extremely affordable price of…

Ana Galvañ

Lovely illustration in the portfolio of Ana Galvañ. She also has a few prints for sale right here at Thumbtack Press.

Color Happy 17

I’m loving the vibrant colors of Patrick Leger’s vintage-inspired illustrations. Take a look at his portfolio and blog for more and check out Thumbtack Press to purchase prints of his work.

Letmen, aka Job Wouters, is “cuckoo for letters” and it shows. The sheer amount of hand-drawn typography in his portfolio is almost mind-blowing. And the fact that each piece is completely different, yet just as beautifully done, is amazing. Have…

Knit Type

I love the design for the Society of Publication Designers‘ Holiday Party invitation. Sorry about the late notice if you wanted to attend the event, but I thought you would still enjoy the design. And on another note, if you…

Type Love 27: Didoni

I’ve been seeing Didoni everywhere recently, like on these awesome rejected book covers by Klas Ernflo. Love it. Update: Just wanted to point everyone in the direction of Stephen Cole’s comment below. He let me know that Ernflo’s covers use…

Beyond Posters

The Heads of State—one of my go-to shops for concert posters—has updated their portfolio with lots of new design work. Below are a couple of my favorites, but you can see more right here. Mental Models: Five covers in a…

Serrano

Designed by Klim Type Foundry, Serrano was developed for Bank of New Zealand. I love that it’s a bold sans serif, but still friendly and approachable because of all he curved details, which you can especially see in the Italic…

T-shirt Wednesdays

2K by Gingham has a pretty broad selection of both men’s and women’s shirts by a wide variety of artists. I really enjoy these simple city love tees by Bob Kronbauer. They’re also available in Los Angeles, Vancouver and Paris.…

Josh Cochran + The New School

When I received The New School Fall 2008 course catalog a few months ago, I made a mental note to post about the awesome cover art, then promptly proceeded to misplace it. So I was pretty psyched when I found…
