I love this! Paul Rand is channeling someone through Twitter and he’s not holding back. Found this on http://www.workingformorework.com
Émigré has a new type specimen book out. Looks interesting although the samples have a little too much outer glow for my taste. I agree with Émigré in that any font can be successfully combined with any other font.
“it's a matter of how you use the fonts in combination. Size, color, tracking, contrast, layout and overall purpose determine how fonts can be combined successfully.”

Designed some double thick cards for the guys behind http://www.teentruthlive.com. They needed something with a tactile presence that kids from their programs can take away with them. Each card is numbered consecutively with a space where the kids can write how they’ll make a difference within their schools.

I designed and art directed a new website for GoHawaii.com that just launched today. I’ve done some work for MVNP Hawaii in the past and was contacted last summer to design a major overhaul for Hawaii’s official tourism site. I’m very happy with the outcome, MVNP did a lot of work to make this happen and I’m proud to have worked with them on this project.

I have one 2010 uncut (dirty!) double sided letterpressed poster (on Crane Lettra pearl white paper) to giveaway to the first person to email me their info. That’s right, it’s free. I’ll pay for the shipping and all!
Sorry people the poster has been spoken for!
I'm hoping to do this giveaway once in a while so keep checking back.

I went into the Letterpress studio on Saturday to make cards for 2010. I went in not knowing what I was going to do but 2010 was obviously the theme. I used the vast array of wood type and just began playing around. First with the large FUTURE text because we all know 2010 is officially when flying cars make their debut and flying cars = The Future! Also we’re in the decade that Marty McFly arrives from the past. Can you believe we’re finally going to get hoverboards!? Anyways, I played around with different colors and varied the amount of ink on press. Double sided of course. I then looked around for some numbered type and laid that out to overprint. I love the layered look! So fun. I then took the master sheets and cut them up into cards to send out. I couldn’t resist keeping some master sheets to hang on my wall though. Printed all on Crane Lettra Pearl white.

It’s Holiday time and I decided to make my own cards (that’s me on the left and my wife on the right) since I have access to some letterpresses now. I had the plates made and booked some time on the presses. This is my first go at printing anything “real” myself and I’m quite pleased with the outcome. I was a little worried about aligning the 2 plates since it had to be done by hand but it came out nice. After I was comfortable printing I decided to have fun with different inks, blind hits and wiping most ink off the rollers so only a slight tint printed. Super fun and can’t wait to print more projects. Next time I’m going to utilize the huge array of wood and metal type. F-U-N
