I first became aware of Helvetica when I was visiting New York during the Spring of 2002. I knew nothing about the fundamentals of typography back then (graphic design classes were four years off), but when I strolled into the F.I.T. bookstore and spotted a small red book emblazoned with a large H, my whole [...]

We celebrated Halloween early this year at Nemo Design on Saturday. Lee drove my car to the party and I bet it’s the first time Jesus has driven a Jetta! He did a mighty fine job, considering that he had stigmatas on his hands and was wearing flip-flops.           Steve Perry and a boyscout [...]

 Some of the photos from my NY shoot are beginning to roll in. Bianca took a few hundred photos over a two day period in September. The bottle was a happy accident; I just happened to be walking through Saks when a suited man offered up Coke in vintage-y glass bottles and mini red velvet [...]

This Summer, I bought a long, thin white magnetic board with a handful of strong magnets which I mounted above my desk (and new white Imac). It’s a nice little place to tack up business cards and other things that are inspiring. I have a larger Ikea magnetic board for full pages, but the small [...]

I found this book at the local Salvation Army; the cover was so retro, poppy, and brilliant that I jumped with glee. And, even though I bought it for the cover, this one seems like a worthwhile read. Nobody can deny the power of Jackie O! It’s shelved next to Scruples. Brilliant typography deserves to [...]
