My Dries Van Noten Boots

Posted on April 20th, 2008 by by Nubby

They were in my size and 55% off. It was meant to be. The softest leather and sturdiest soles; my feet are very happy.

Posted on April 16th, 2008 by by Nubby

I feel like a mod Snow White here! At my internship I often research streetwear lines and was recently turned onto Insight from Australia and now I’m totally hooked! I just bought this suspender skirt last week and can’t stop wearing it… Suspender skirt, Insight Tunic, LA Made Leggings, AA Red headband, F21 Nameplate necklace, [...]

Posted on April 15th, 2008 by by Nubby

Disclaimer: Although it’s true that Portland’s Saint Cupcake produces the best cupcakes in the world, I am simply a faithful connoisseur of their products and I am not affiliated with them in any way!

Ask Nubby #1: The Best Typography Resources

Posted on April 15th, 2008 by by Nubby

Question: What are your favorite sources for fonts? I’m a total font junkie who’s always on the hunt for new ones to add to my collection. There are so many resources for typography these days! Should you pay or go the free route? Do the free sites offer the same quality? Great for a quick [...]

Tools of the Trade: Jan V. White Books

Posted on April 13th, 2008 by by Nubby

The author I credit with teaching me the most about design is Jan V. White. A former art director at Time-Life, he’s written more than a dozen books on visual techniques focused in publishing.

Portfolio Revision #2: e|merge Creative Agency

Posted on April 8th, 2008 by by Nubby

Last year, one of my classes combined all four departments of our Integrated Media department and we spent the semester developing a new ad campaign for the college. My team chose the name of e|merge for our creative agency and I designed a press kit for our presentation. I was happy with the work, but [...]
