H is for Hannah

I love this collection that ceramic designer Hannah Morrow recently wrote to tell me about. The playful and fun stickers collection is available in three cities, including Los Angeles, London and New York (which I am partial to, of course.)…

Chinatown Numbers

I love this new print by Evan Hecox. The typography, the colors, the texture, the subject matter—it’s pretty much perfect aside from the price tag! Unfortunately I don’t have room in my budget at the moment, but for those of…

Type Love 20: David Berlow

Quick sidenote: Have I really been doing this for 20 weeks? Wow. And now back to the typography… I recently came across the work of type designer David Berlow. Initially I didn’t recognize the name, but soon discovered that he…

Booty Juggler

I love the screenshots from this game created by Robin Davey in collaboration with Thought Den. The game’s pretty fun too—play here.

Design and Mad Men

As a big fan of the critically-acclaimed Mad Men, I enjoyed these two recent articles about the use of typography throughout the show. I couldn’t do a better analysis than what’s already been done, so check out the write-ups here…

Esther Aarts

Speaking of t-shirts, I came across the work of this illustrator via Threadless. Her t-shirt design, The Tree Referendum, was featured in Monday’s newsletter and I loved the style, so I immediately looked her up. And it came as no…

T-shirt Wednesdays

It’s been a little while since I posted anything from Threadless and I really like this recent design. Seems sort of apropos considering we’re currently in the middle of an election. Yes or No?, $18

Does Anyone Know…

Who created this image? I am in love with it and have been searching for some type of information on the artist to no avail. If you have any ideas, let me know! (the image links to where it was…

Aesthetic Apparatus

Aesthetic Apparatus is one of my go-to gig poster resources. They’re one of the first places I discovered when I started my collection several years ago, and they always create amazing work. But something I think they’re less known for…

Raking Leaves in the Wind

For those of you in the Berlin area, this exhibition featuring past and new work by Eve Duhamel, Julien Vallée and Brent Wadden, is one you should not miss. Raking Leaves in the Wind opens on October 29th and runs…

GOOD Sheet No. 5

I forgot to mention this last week. The latest GOOD sheet to be released, Reform School, is all about education. You can find it right here. I also received the latest issue of GOOD magazine in the mail the other…

“I design the world.”

I normally don’t just link directly to other people’s posts, but I really connected with this one by Andrea over at Fly. Like her, I often find myself struggling to come up with the best words to define “graphic design”.…

Off Today!

Sorry about the lack of posts today, it’s a vacation day for me. Normal posting will resume tomorrow. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Noggin

Being someone who isn’t around kids very often, I probably haven’t watched Nickelodeon since Pinwheel. But the other day someone mentioned to me how cool the mutating Noggin logo is, so I checked it out. And I love it. I…

Isaac Tobin

I’m really loving the work of designer Isaac Tobin. I was first drawn to his book covers, but after looking through his portfolio I really love his type design as well.
