Preen Magazine
I was just mailed a copy of Preen Magazine. Never heard of it, but it’s designed nice and I’m digging the 7th edition’s cover, with rockstar offspring Zoe Kravitz.

Island Time
Berlin-based artist Simon Evans has a great exhibition right now at James Cohen Gallery in Chelsea. It’s the New York debut show for the London-born artist, who is a former pro-skateboarder and writer. The show’s title is “Island Time,” which is a nod to Robinson Crusoe and the handmade objects he needed to survive on a desert island. Evans implicitly compares being...

Sacha Hilton
A blog to watch comes from 17 year old photographer Sacha Hilton. He and his friends seem to have Parisian cool on lock, and he captures their weekend escapades nicely through an image diary. See more of his photos here.

Heart show, Philadelphia
Something I have come to appreciate about Philadelphia is the strong community of artists that reside and work here. They consistently create art that is accessible and open to everyone.
One of these such efforts is the third annual Heart show at Jinxed store. The group show, now on display until the end of the month, features over 85 artists who created hearts in a variety of mediums for the...

Graphic Content | Cooper Union’s New Logo →
via The New York Times, new logo for acclaimed institution, The Cooper Union by Doyle Partners
excerpt: “Doyle tapped into his own imagination, assisted by digital software that enabled him to make a curiously fluid object out of the letters C and U. The result is an animated logo that begins with a typographic reference point and, using layers of primary, transparent color, morphs into...

The way we work
A recent interest of mine is viewing creative people’s spaces in which they work and live. This stems from my love of process and curiosity in all the different ways an end product is realized.
I first started reading Daily Routines, which chronicles how writers, artists and other notable people organize their days. The daily routines are culled from books, newspapers and magazines with...

Radiolab: Morality →
In addition to music, I tend to listen to a lot of Podcasts. Besides subscribing to NPR’s All Songs Considered and Fresh Air, Monocle, This American Life and TEDTalks, I frequently listen to WNYC’s Radiolab. Hosted by Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich, each hour-long show focuses on a topic of a scientific and philosophical nature, through stories, interviews, and thought experiments....

Old Work: Black Tie Tailgate
SFGT was my first forray into advertising, and the Philadelphia Auto Show, was my first client. In addition to creating a multi-media campaign for the show itself, they requested we design an invitation package for their charity preview gala which kicked off the event. The night’s proceeds benefited The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, so they wanted to set a fun tone that...

Real clothes
One of my favorite collections for fall 2009 is by Proenza Schouler. I’ve been a fan of the duo since I first heard rumblings of them as they were graduating from Parson’s School of Design, not so long ago. This line is what many in the industry are touting as Lazaro Hernadez and Jack McCollough’s attempt to give consumers “real clothes”. The t-shirts, short...

The Creativity of Crowds
Forbes recently published an article called The Creativity of Crowds which focuses on the startup CrowdSpring, whose aim is to quote “slash the cost of graphic design work–and democratize a snooty business.”
Their company, allows buyers to run competitions for company logos, websites, t-shirts and the like. For buyers of design, this means bidding out jobs to a number of designers,...
