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…
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.
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.)…
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.
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,…
Not sure how recently this happened, but I’m definitely psyched about it—Gmund paper finally has a brand new website. I had unsuccessfully attempted to purchase samples from their old site several times in the past, so I’ve been frustratingly waiting…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Fortunately I got a chance to see Bill Strickland speak as the closing keynote for the HOW Conference. As a speaker and a person, he is truly inspirational. He grew up in poverty in the inner city of Pittsburgh and…
I subscribe to quite a few email newsletters, some of which are dedicated entirely to type. Yesterday I received the Font Shop newsletter highlighting some new typefaces in their shop, and I always love at least a few of them.…

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…
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,…
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…
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…
Another presenter I was really excited about was Charles Anderson. I love the look and feel of all the work that comes out of their studio, and I really love French paper, who they partner with on many of their…
