My one and only wish for design in 2009 is that designers would stop with the weird "type art." It's not a trend, it never was. It's bad and it makes my eyes hurt. Please go away.
Thanks.
*gasp!*
So obviously my goal of having a new website up and running by the new year didn't work out. Until then, if you have any spare change lying around, I would much appreciate this bag by Cole Hahn.
I apologize in advance for sounding completely material, but these are two of my favorite things, typography and bags, rolled into one. Eek!
good advice.

Combined, these people are the Einstein of our time. They brought us the Helvetica movie and now a marker that writes Helvetica. Genius.

This morning I ran across the website of Baron & Baron, Inc., a NY-based design firm who focuses on the fashion industry. I've always had a soft spot for the world of fashion. I drool (usually while no one is watching) over the high contrast photos of rake-thin models in couture, the understated logos of designers such as Burberry and Dolce & Gabbana, and the ridiculously large, typographical editorial layouts.
I think Baron & Baron is my new dream place to work. (...plus they have one of the best Flash intros I have ever seen)
