Tuesday, November 13th, 2007Before the advent of computers, graphic designers did text layouts by hand, often using ‘rub on letters’ (also called letter transfers or dry transfers). They came in large paper or plastic sheets and were rubbed onto artwork.
“Transfer” is a generic term used, sometimes inappropriately, for various graphic arts techniques, the most common being pressure-sensitive letter-transfers (patented […]
American Apparel Cities Bag
Monday, November 12th, 2007I love my American Apparel Cities Bag! I picked one up in Hollywood this summer and I’ve since drug it all over the place. Did I mention that the cities are printed in Helvetica?! These days, there’s constant encouragement to carry a reuseable tote instead of taking plastic bags with purchases, so you might as […]

A Dash of Color
Thursday, November 8th, 2007
Sometimes, all that’s needed to brighten your day is a dash of color…
These Isaac Mizrahi pencils have cheery names imprinted such as snazzy pink, sparkle green, top banana, lavender frill, aqua curls, and my personal favorite, agent orange. I found this tumbler with a vintage Apple sticker on it mixed in with the mugs […]

Tools of the Trade: Label Maker
Wednesday, November 7th, 2007I don’t think people really use label makers like these anymore (there’s fancy electronic versions now!), but recently I found this at the Salvation Army and fell in love with the retro modern design. Maybe I’ll track down some colored rolls of label tape one of these days…

My New Desk Plus 3 Workspace Tips
Tuesday, November 6th, 2007I recently updated my home workspace and I couldn’t be happier with the results! The makeover began this Summer when I finally bought a 20 inch Imac. After that, I decided that it was time to buy a bigger desk and a swivel chair. These images were taken at different times over a week so […]
Fawn Gehweiler: Moshi Moshi, Portland
Monday, November 5th, 2007
On Friday, Fawn Gehweiler’s solo show, Pink Sunshine opened at Moshi Moshi. Of course I had to restrain myself from buying everything…her new work is especially intriguing with the painted black backgrounds — the sweet, innocent air of her past work has significantly evolved detail-wise and has also grown much darker. I was glad to finally meet […]

25 Objects Twenty-Five Photographers at Nemo Design
Sunday, November 4th, 2007
On Friday (before attending Fawn’s show!) I stopped by Nemo Design to see the 25 Objects Twenty-Five Photographers opening. Each of the 25 participating photographers were given a random object (skeleton keys, beard, blue dress, etc.) and had to photograph it in their own vision. The show was pretty packed, so I didn’t get a […]

Design and Branding: e|merge Creative Agency
Thursday, November 1st, 2007
For one of my class projects, a group of five of us had to develop a name for a creative agency and we’re doing a big pitch of three ideas in the morning to rebrand one of our school’s programs (one group’s concept will really be used). Our ideas haven’t even been reviewed yet and […]
