District Fashion Show!

Here are some snippets of designs I did for the upcoming Fashion Show at The District in Tustin.


And the chosen design....yay!

Lettering Sketchbook

I found this Lettering Sketchbook created be Linzie Hunter and I've grown quite fond of it. I think it's very good for designers to practice making letter forms in new, fun experimental ways.

The Burger King Studio

Burger King has developed a new gimmick consisting of part art part (free) think tank part design studio. The burger giants are taking "Have it Your Way" to a whole new level by offering the chance to let the public design BK tees and other merchandise. They call it the BK Studio, I think it's an interesting idea. We'll see how this all plays out.

popptags!

Clever, pretty AND for wine!

Because we all need a pick me up

booooooom.com has posted an new project that seems pretty awesome. Quoted from their site: So here’s the deal: There is just so much negativity all around us these days, have you noticed? It’s infesting the internet, it’s taking over the big screen, it’s cutting you off, it’s showing up on your bank statement, it’s staining your new shirt, it’s breathing down your neck, it’s not giving you a vacation, it’s talking behind your back, it’s stuffing you in a locker, it’s cheating on you, it’s charging you more, it’s giving you less, and it’s making you miserable!

It’s making me miserable! I don’t think I know of a single person who couldn’t use some encouragement, so here it is! This is a two-part project, and the first part is simple: We are going to create a gallery of encouragement!

You can use this gallery to encourage a close friend or someone you just happened to pass by on the street. You can encourage a relative who may be ill or the girl who handed you your coffee this morning. You could even use this place to encourage yourself!

I dig the premise and it'll be fun to see the different executions as the project unfolds. I'll definitely be sending in my entry...

Visionaire on Sale!

Oh joy! Next Tuesday at Sotherby's photographs sale in London a full set of Visionaire will be up for grabs. Yep, all 53 issues of the exclusive numbered limited edition publication. Many, might I add, are in original packing and unopened. :::gasp:::
Oh to be able to buy such a lovely item! I'm saving up for it. Logic be damned! So far I've raised $3.60 which means at most I'm only about $30,996.40 shy of owning this collection! By next tuesday it's totally happening, right?

Oh. God. Yes.

This is absolutely fantastic. Everything a Designer Needs. Brought to you by Esthetic Core.

Nuance by Sublevel

Spotted this lovely piece over at Graphic Exchange. It's so beautiful, it's intended for a young company for web based solutions. Designed by the Dutch firm Sublevel. Nice stuff.

I Love This Oh So Much

I dig Stefan G. Bucher, yes it's true. Not that I've ever met the guy but he just seems like a good guy. His Daily Monsters are so fun and so inspired and just spur of the moment creative. I admire the guy and I am not alone. Stefan recently gave an interview on Abduzeedo which is quite good. Have a look see and you too will dig Stefan G. Bucher.

The Feast!

Yes it's October and this means The Feast is fast approaching, October 16th to be exact! The Feast will gather 150 of the world's leading creatives and entrepreneurs among other brilliantly radical minds. Why you ask? to change the world, duh...
I love it, there's bound to be some fascinating stuff coming out of this!

Purell Ads

I came across these little lovelies via Design You Trust. Such cool ads, I love these. Done for Purell by JWT out of Sydney, Australia. Fantastic!

Faucet of Joy

Water Ball Ripples is a modern water faucet concept designed by Smith Newnam,
and Industrial Design student from North Carolina State.



The lighting on the faucet glow red or blue to let you know how hot the water is;
fabulous! No more guessing, burning, or freezing!

Refill 7

Refill 7 allows artists to create some pretty amazing and sometimes very intricate designs by
lasering away layers of plywood to a create a unique skateboard deck. Artists from around the
world have contributed to the project and each artist creates a series of 50 limited edition decks.
