Multiplying Colors

  I’m gonna nerd out for a minute about overprinting. First of all, I love screen printing and letterpress, and I love color – bright saturated color! The only problem is that I don’t have room for a screen printing set up at my place so I have to pay for my art show prints...

Land: Experts of the "Type Lock-Up"

Land: Experts of the “Type Lock-Up”

Everything is slightly distressed or photographed to appear that it was designed and dug up at an estate sale. I’m a big fan. Check out their whole book here. via Courtney  ...

Jordan Metcalf – New Work

  I’m on a typography kick right now. I’ve posted about Jordan in the past, but just took a stroll through his book to discover tons of new material. I’ve posted a sample here, but you can really dig on on his site. The level of detail is outstanding.            ...

  My buddy Brandon recently took a gig over at Periscope and he’s been killing it there. Check out this rebrand he worked on for Great Clips. It’s such an improvement from GC’s previous brand.

Pavan by Werner Design Werks and Anchalee Chambundabongse

  Everything Sharon Werner and Sarah Nelson Forss touch is gold. What happens when you throw a bad ass designer like Anchalee Chambundabongse in the mix? You get Pavan. Nice work ladies. Way to remind the world that Minneapolis does packaging better then anywhere on the planet.
