This is probably the most sadly nerdy thing I have seen in a really long time, but hey this is a design blog and this is a design rap. It had to be posted.
No widows you heard?

Bibliotheque Design updates their site and fills it with some really nice graphic design work. I have to be honest, I really am not digging the actual site itself but their work is great.

Fun stuff in the portfolio of oh-so-young (20 yrs old) Phillipp Schilling from Plauen, Germany. I love that album cover.
This one goes out to all the triangle-haters out there (with love).

Bright vivid crazy wild ass colors. I dig it.
Comments Off on Hello Hikimori ShopProducts
Hello Hikimori has officially opened their online storefront for business. It appears that they will be frequently updating with more goods, so it may be worth keeping an eye out.
Why when the first set of prints are combined do they spell out the name ‘ETHAN’?
I have absolutely no idea.
Comments Off on Disturbance DesignGraphic Design
Disturbance has been around for the better part of 10 years now and just keep getting better with age. I noticed their work immediately while flipping through a recent copy of I.D. Magazine. I went straight to the web to look them up. You can visit their homepage here and see their work both here and here.
A little more about Disturbance:
“Disturbance is a graphic design studio based in Durban, South Africa and one of the continent’s leading design practices. Disturbance’s work has been recognised both locally (Loeries awards) and internationally (D&AD, ADC, One Show, Comm Arts, Society of Illustrators). Over the last decade disturbance has variously won awards for their clients, published a ‘zine, released a music CD, designed and operated a restaurant, a gallery and a design store and launched (and collapsed) the much hyped design brand, ‘Home Industries’.”
Brilliant work all around.

Comments Off on Pillow FortGraphic Design
There isn’t a lot of work in the portfolio of Brooklyn-based design company, Pillow Fort, but what is there is fantastic. I recently saw their entries for the Penguin/Creativity book cover design competition and was really impressed. I am a big fan of really going wild with color, especially now that the digital realm offers up previously impossible color palletes. So, I immediately noticed their aggressive use of color and type.
They are definitely someone to keep an eye on.

Comments Off on Raking Leaves in the WindArt
Eve Duhamel was kind enough to write in about what sounds like could be a really interesting show featuring some really exciting designer/artists.
The show is titled, ‘Raking Leaves in the Wind’ and here are the details:
New exhibition opening October 29th at 7pm in Berlin at Create Berlin (Wallstrasse 16, 10179, Berlin). The show is a collaboration between Eve Duhamel and fellow artists and designer Julien Vallée and Brent Wadden. It will feature past and new work including drawings, paintings, installation and videos.
Thank you Eve and good luck at the show.

Comments Off on 20/20 Graphic DesignGraphic Design
I remember seeing this a long while back on television and laughing pretty hard upon viewing it. It kind of puts things in perspective. I have been working in some regard as a designer/Flash developer/Jr. Art Director/Motion Design Director/Copywriter/Creative Blogger/Actor/Lead Singer/Lyricist/Illustrator/Painter/Art Director for around 10 years or so. If you count when I started painting, drawing and singing when I was 5, well most of my life now.
In that time I have been around countless creative types. The people that always tend to strike me the most though with their almost borderline compulsive behavior are graphic designers. It has always amazed me how seriously some designers take what we do. Some people treat design like it is akin to splitting atoms or solving the global energy crisis. I am amazed sometimes at how little humor people see in our obsession over things that 99% of the rest of the population could really give a shit about. (I have to briefly mention actors too, since I am now spending more and more time with them also, and they tend to think the same way about acting).
I think this little video kind of cuts right to the heart of that and should serve as a little reminder not only to me, but to everyone sitting a little too close to their computer right now, to relax a little every once in a while. This may be what we do for a living, but after all, there are a lot more important things going on in the world as well. Especially right now.
