The Typofiles #95: Monster Children Magazine

Posted on January 24th, 2012 by by Nubby

While I was in Phoenix a few weeks ago, I made a stop at Barnes & Noble for some much needed editorial inspiration to fuel a few upcoming print projects. While perusing the magazine racks, I came across Monster Children, a beautifully designed Australian title with an emphasis on skateboarding, photography, surfing and music. Though [...]

Luke Copping Photography Magazine

Posted on January 16th, 2012 by by Nubby

Photographer Luke Copping came to me late last year with a new promotional idea. He wanted to present his top images not in a portfolio but instead in a magazine format.

The Typofiles #65: Gaga for Elle and Senso for Solestruck

Posted on June 29th, 2010 by by Nubby

Sometimes adding type diagonally to a simple layout adds a fresh spin. I had completely forgotten about this cover that only subscribers to U.S. Elle received until last night when I was was searching for the new Rihanna cover (which also features some tilted type). In a way, it reminds me slightly of the first [...]

Business Card Madness

Posted on May 4th, 2010 by by Nubby

Last week, my square cards arrived. This week, two sets of standards showed up from Overnight Prints. These are meant to be a visual bridge between my 2009 and 2010 identities with the color scheme and backs from last year merged with DIN from this year. Small and sophisticated versus bigger is better. White versus [...]

Posted on April 28th, 2010 by by Nubby

When I redesigned my corporate identity a few months ago, I decided to change things up and do square business cards. Last week, I placed an order with Uprinting.com and they showed up today!

One Year of Freelancing: What I’ve Learned

Posted on April 20th, 2010 by by Nubby

When I started freelancing full time in May 2009, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. Freelancers seem to have quite varied experiences which is to be expected when you’re working as your own boss.
