Gettin' OFFF

I just came across a promotional opening title sequence for OFFF 2009.
At first I went into it blindly, without reading the details as usual! For a minute I thought it was a title sequence to an actual movie... after the shock wore off I realized it had Neville Brody, Paula Scher and Sagmeister in the credits.

But check it out - it's friggin' intense! Best. Promo Video. Ever.

(Warning: due to extreme awesomeness - this video may cause you to poop your pants)

Milton Glaser

In honor of spending 4 awesome days in NYC - and seeing an abundance of I HEART NY shirts all over the place in a tourist-filled Mnahattan.

For many, Milton Glaser is the personification of American graphic design. Best known for co-founding New York Magazine and the enduring I (heart) NY campaign, the full breadth of Glaser’s remarkable artistic output is revealed in this documentary portrait, MILTON GLASER: TO INFORM AND DELIGHT.
From newspapers and magazine designs, to interior spaces, logos, and brand identities, to his celebrated prints, drawings, posters and paintings, the documentary offers audiences a much richer appreciation for one of the great modern renaissance men.

Call Your Mother

wow! so clean and fresh!



There is a lot more where that came from - by jordanmichaelgray - that dude is awesome!

Paul Lee

Paul Lee's work is AMAZING... scrolling through his portfolio made my head implode and explode simultaneously (twice!)

It's no wonder he's provided design and creative direction on projects for Lexus, Acura, Google, Adobe and Sony. Paul please ship some of your design goodness towards my design bubble....

Sick & Swamped

This week I'm sick and busy with work so I decided to take a break from posting.

I google imaged "sick and busy" and this came up...

you can still read my post at 2modern to avoid and twitching or withdrawals.

Pig nose flu masks...

Dan Tana and I were on the verge of ordering/creating these but we've been beaten to the punch!

Sorry Dan - looks like you can stop picking out Ferrari's... we're not going to be internet 100-aires. I better go save up for a bus pass.

Keep calm....

and beat me to the punch!

CHIPOTLE

There is only one thing I love as much as design and typography... Chipotle burritos. So when I saw this over at Brand New - I had to post about it. I think it's a positive change that is cleaner and up to date.

The full article and analysis here.

SF does it again...

Damn it Shepard Fairey... stop making awesome posters because I can't afford them all!

Lacoste Red

The new Lacoste Red campaign is ridiculously effective! The concept and the execution is amazing... it's branded perfectly and goes along with the classically fresh look of the line.

I'm not a big fan of Lacoste - not because I don't like their clothes... but because as a Subcontinental(dot)Giant - their sizes run a bit...er... small for me**. But still, this campaign is amazing and I tip my (non) Lacoste hat to them.

Check out the cool stop-motion website - Lacoste Red Website

I just need a verification from the official fashion guru of SdotG... Mark ?


** to be honest I do own a pair of Lacoste shoes... but don't tell anyone.

Google Map Type

Wait... There's a NEW deal ?!

Pretty awesome stuff ...

"Neville Brody and his team at Research Studios have designed a new typeface named “New Deal” for the upcoming Michael Mann film “Public Enemies”, starring Johnny Depp and Christian Bale.

The typeface is inspired by the 1930’s era typography but with a modern edge and is being used for the one-sheet and film trailer.

It has a very nice industrial feel to it, almost along the lines of Soviet style typography".
