new favorite quotes

…although mine aren’t as neatly kerned as Max’s. In his words, “I scoff at CSS with it’s limited choices and inability to set text correctly.”

something to believe in…

If you’re not directly connected to the art or design world on the past few months, you may have not noticed all of the beautiful work that is being created in support of Obama.

For example: I signed up a little less than a month ago to recieve an email called 30 Reasons, which basically means 30 posters by 30 New York artists (many of them famous) arrive to my inbox every day for 30 days before the election. Clever.

Milton Glaser

Frank Chimero

Seymour Chwast

Then today, I found this shirt posted on The Font Feed, a hilarious, satirical take on the Obama logo. You can buy it on Zazzle for $24.10. It’s “Taste You Can Believe In”

Beautiful work by Daniel Adolf of 0c/0m/0y/0k and Alex Klug of Royal Grafico.

…not to mention that Garamond Pro is one of my favorite serif typefaces.

aptera open house

Last night at Aptera (my employer) we celebrated our new building downtown with a ribbon cutting and huge open house. I was one of four involved in the the planning process, so it was great to be featured as the top story on the evening news.

the cut

So I did it. I made the cut.

I went in and said, “Keep the front below the chin and the back below the neckline. Other than that, I don’t really have anything in mind.”

It’s cute. Probably the most stylish cut I’ve had since the mullet.
