Max-o-matic

I’m completely enthralled by the work of Barcelona-based graphic designer Máximo Tuja, aka max-o-matic.

(via we-make-money-not-art’s review of “ESC: Enter Spanish Creativity“)

Design, Build, Subvert

A few months ago, in a conversation about the role of design, my friend and co-worker Brandon Ferguson laid it out like this:

[Designers are] both working to build and for the system, and simultaneously subverting it. They’re the mouth pieces, and the destroyers.

I kind of love that. So much potential in the artful communication of messages.

And that’s why we love Brandon.

Type is certainly where it’s at

I’d like to introduce you to a designer I’ve been lucky enough to work with on some recent projects. Meet Charlie Trotter, from the design studio Type is where it’s at.™

Charlie’s work includes some fantastic illustration, identity design, print, and soon-to-be-showcased web design work that is near and dear to our heart. Plus, his portfolio is pretty innovative itself in its presentation style.

And finally, Tiwia™, as it’s referred to on the street, has a brand new blog that rocks my face right off my head. My favorite post to date co-stars Emmanuel Lewis (aka Webster) in a Baby Bjorn. Read it and your day will be better.

I design things.

Here's some stuff I've made. I hope you love it. If you're interested in working together, drop me a line and we'll chat.
