It isn’t a friend of mine literally but a bohemian design with an insane range of work.
Vanessa Hernandez has some incredible typography skills. Check out this cool little video (and nice music to boot) of her doing a custom poster with some gold vinyl. Want!
Friends. Followers. Avid-internets. Sorry my hiatus but I have just switched jobs. I have quit my gig at Opolis and have moved over to Engin (thus the gigantic logo above). It was a crazy couple weeks there and I’ve taken some time off. Back to it!
So, so excited about this gangster flick, obviously-named Gangster Squad. Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Giovanni Ribisi (finally in a good role again), and Andy Mac. Also starting Nick Nolte (awww hell) and Emma Stone. Oh and did I mention Sean Penn? Good. Night.
Great read over on Grantland about one of my favorite shows, Parks and Rec.
This blog, Plenty of Colour, is exactly what it sounds like. Posts dedicated to the beauty in colors. They don’t update often but when they do? Solid Gold. Or blue. Or violet. Solid Color? Let’s go with that.
I love it! Finally a Svpply iPad app (and did I mention the new Spotify iPad app)! I am loving this new direction of anti-glossy buttons and big, readable type. Readmill does it. Some of the new Nike apps do it (I’m looking at you NTC). I’m sure this will peak and then whatever the new thing is will be even better. But for now, I’m liking this design space.
Dead simple (zing!) idea for a non-bank solution. I’m entirely sure I get it but a neat video nonetheless. Bonus: shot in Portland and featuring my friend Joel’s coffee (he’s the guy in the hat in the background. Neat! Update: Just discovered Modbot which although cryptic looks to be a all-in-one bookmarking service for Chrome. The UI? Big flat boxes with huge type. I love it.
Fascinating and visually compelling video of the effects of Crude Oil prices and our economy. This may be of no great news to anyone but I found it interesting. And, at least, discovered what the 2nd Industrial Revolution is. Neat!
Amazing space for a frozen yogurt shop in Dublin. I love the attention to detail in everything in the store, from the sweet bin stands to the bench held together by magenta tie downs. Designed by humbly-named Mr Important Design.
