2008 Logo Trends

Logo Lounge recently published their annual round up of current logo trends. Two of the overarching themes they noticed include the overall move toward more cleanliness as well as a “less is more” approach. Sounds good to me. Check out…

Eames Stamps!

Can’t wait to get my hands on these—only a couple more weeks til they go on sale (June 17th). We’ll see how quickly they sell out though… You can sign up here to keep up with any relevant news.

Hiphop-potamus vs. Rhymenocerous

I was disappointed to learn that the new season of Flight of the Conchords will be delayed until the fall because of the writers’ strike, but these new posters may tide me over. (Click the image for a larger view.)…

Dream In Color

This book—the first monograph on artist Lulu de Kwiatkowski—looks gorgeous. de Kwiatkowski is more well-known for her designer textile line, LULU DK; but this book features her colorful multimedia collages. See more of the book and/or purchase here or here.

Progress

In honor of Barack Obama claiming the Democratic nomination, but without getting into too much political commentary, I thought I’d share this poster recently designed for the campaign. There’s been a huge influx of posters designed in support of Obama,…

Chris Rubino

By way of the Post Expose blog I heard about what sounds like a really cool exhibition by Chris Rubino, called “The Center of Something”. The show opened May 30th and will be on view in a Times Square storefront…

It’s That Time Again…

I love Threadless. (They’re on the cover of this month’s Inc. Magazine, by the way.) Even though their shirts aren’t always my style, I usually take advantage of their sales to pick up a few. And this week happens to…

Post Expose

I’ve been pretty excited about Post Expose since it opened, even though I’ve unfortunately not had a chance to get there yet. They’re a screen printing and design center located in Long Island City—right around the corner from me (which…

Tall Tales

Like I’ve said before, Duffy & Partners consistently produces great work. So I was excited to learn yesterday that they recently completed an identity project for a new restaurant (an area of design I’m particularly interested in). Tall Tales-Real Food…

Rumplo

If you like well-designed t-shirts you should know about Rumplo. The description on their site reads as follows: Rumplo is a place to find brilliant artist-designed T-shirts from around the world. Rumplo is also a T-shirt community — a place…

Ampersandland

Full poster can be seen below I love working with ampersands whenever I get the chance. So when I came across this blog dedicated entirely to the glyph, I immediately bookmarked it. One thing that caught my eye right away…

So Close…

Last night I almost got into the Sex and the City premiere at Radio City Music Hall. Almost. By the time they told us they were out of seats I was probably only 50 people away from the theater door,…

Type Galore

One of the highlights of the conference was the Type Director’s Club exhibit (TDC54) at the conference. I love the books cataloging these competitions. I personally own Typography 26 and Typography 28 and will definitely be adding this new one…

Marketing Mentor

Another HOW Conference session I attended was “What it Takes to be Your Own Boss”, given by Ilise Benun of Marketing Mentor. I had previously attended one of their workshops locally and it was extremely helpful, so I was excited…
