Aaron Horkey and Jay Ryan Art Print

This is one of the great­est things I have ever seen. From two of my favorite poster design­ers, Aaron Horkey and Jay Ryan, comes this won­der­ful cre­ation. It is a thir­teen color screen­print! I recently told my fiancé to stop …

Alvin Lustig

I love design from the first half of the 20th cen­tury. It is the period that marked the birth of mod­ern adver­tis­ing and design. For some rea­son, maybe because I wasn’t pay­ing atten­tion, I don’t remem­ber learn­ing a whole lot …

Root­ing through my hard drive in order to make an attempt at orga­ni­za­tion I came across sev­eral old project fold­ers from a few years ago, and in each folder were sev­eral con­cept comps. Admit­tedly, I was a very lazy student …

The Perfect Pour

This self-promotional poster from Plaid Inc. is a nice mix of info­graph­ics and cof­fee. This would have been great when I worked at a café so that I could have made those drinks cus­tomers ordered that I’d never heard of …

Alphaposters from Happycentro

I had just recently res­tum­bled across these Alpha­pos­ters from Hap­py­cen­tro and remem­bered just how much I enjoy the con­cept and imagery. I espe­cially like the “f” poster with the map illus­tra­tion. Old maps are the greatest.

The Bungaloo: Fairly Recent Update

My friend and fel­low designer at the Bun­ga­loo recently updated his site with some new work. As usual, the posters are so fun to look at. I espe­cially dig his Liars poster with the torn wall­pa­per theme. Very cool. Buy them …

For those of you liv­ing in St. Louis, don’t miss Kim Massie’s Trib­ute to Women & Soul this Fri­day night at Beale on Broad­way. I was lucky enough to get the job design­ing the poster for the event as well …

Don’t sin. Use type wisely.

Check out this awe­some poster by Jim God­frey titled “Typo­graphic Sins.” I need this as a con­stant reminder next to my desk, although I don’t think I rou­tinely break many of these rules. Hope­fully there are no sins on this …
