Coilhouse Magazine: Issue 3 Test Spread

Posted on July 20th, 2009 by by Nubby

I’ve needed some more editorial-based work for my design portfolio and Coilhouse Magazine was gracious enough to let me do a try-out of one of their articles. Coilhouse is known for having a certain flair to its pages so I added a combination of transparent overlays and bold flourishes while making the quotes playfully curve [...]

Shoes: Luisaviaroma.com

Posted on July 20th, 2009 by by Nubby

Luisaviaroma.com is the equivalent of a perfectly archived museum for fashion where everything is beautiful and resembles a work of art. And, it’s available for purchase…if your credit card limit is high enough. It’s all quite unattainable (for me, anyway) but it never hurts to take a look around…and then swiftly save all of the [...]

Galadarling.com: iCiNG Redesign

Posted on July 16th, 2009 by by Nubby

I’ve been reading Galadarling.com for over two years and to me, it’s always been so much more than a blog. The content and regular features are so rich that it comes across as your favorite magazine, only in an online format. When Gala brought Star and I onboard earlier this year to revamp the look [...]

ModCloth Favorite Finds: July 2009

It’s always hard to pick just a handful of items because their buyers have a knack for discovering pieces that are not only cute but also [...]

The Typofiles #25: Blueprint Magazine

Posted on July 14th, 2009 by by Nubby

I was really sad when Blueprint Magazine folded because I felt that their choices in typography and page layouts were some of the best out there. You can view all of The Typofiles scans on Flickr here.

Nubbytwiglet.com Type Pattern

Posted on July 12th, 2009 by by Nubby

One of the projects that I’ve been working on over the last few days is a type pattern that will be used as a secondary element for the opening page of my portfolio. Instead of jumping straight into the work, I wanted a page that was descriptive of what I do. In the portfolio setting, [...]
