I’m so behind, but I’ll try to write a little something anyway, for my own memory’s sake. (Note, some of this is from my post written for the AIGA/NY blog) So last Thursday, I went to an event called Kern & Bern: Conversation With Design Entrepreneurs hosted by co-authors Tim Hoover and Jessica Heltzel who led a…

Some pictures from NYC Bordo Bello
I took a ton, but here are a few. Very happy to help out Elysia, current AIGA Colorado president and designer extraordinaire, as she brings Bordo Bello to New York for the first time! The exhibition will be up at the AIGA National Design Center Gallery until July 3rd. Bordo Bello originated as an AIGA Colorado project in 2008 as a…
Another one to add to the list: Laurie Rosenwald
On Saturday I had the tremendous good fortune to help out with a workshop by illustrator Laurie Rosenwald through AIGA. I had seen her work before through little animations she’d made for David Sedaris and then back-tracking to her own personal videos after really enjoying the design style. I remember after seeing this video coveting…
Speaking of Saul Bass…
I know you were all as happy as I was to see the Google doodle today (May 8th) which celebrates graphic designer Saul Bass. And I know you know about him because I mentioned him before, albiet briefly.
6 Things: Sagmeister & Walsh exhibition
My third post about Stefan Sagmeister in a row. I might be a little obsessed. Six Things: Sagmeister & Walsh is an exhibition at the Jewish Museum running now until August 4th and I implore everyone in New York to go. It’s short and sweet so it’s not like you’d have commit a whole day…
Who & Why
I’ve been thinking about design a lot lately and what I want to do. This is the first time I have been able to dedicate myself completely to graphic design and that my time hasn’t been split up between communication and design (not that I’m complaining, I enjoy both). I’ve been thinking about the designers…
The intersection of time, money, and thought (and Stefan Sagmeister)
Whether or not an onlooker would feel likewise, I’ve come to a point in my career where I feel comfortable with the amount and quality of clients but I am still struggling with the art of asking. I find real, personal value in my process of creating a design and that value is coming up…
Milton Glaser on The Fear of Failure
My friend @PaulWeber sent me this yesterday. Liked it so much I thought I shared. I feel exactly the same way. I try to learn or do something new on each new design project I get or perfect something I learned before. It’s applicable to so many people in my life right now. Plus, Glaser…
A Short History of the gif
Maggie shared this Jezebel article with me and I just thought is was so neat. I think I want to do a research project on gifs.
What @Legwork learned in 2012
You heard from me, now see the beautiful things Legwork Studio in Denver, CO has learned. Imma big fan. It takes a bit to load, but worth it for the curious. Probably muh fav design studio in Denver.
