Personal Stationery

stationery.gif I've recently completed the design for a personal stationery packet. I've always loved the tactile quality of letterpress and with Crane's new Lettra papers decided to have the talented folk of Widgets and Stone handle this portion of the production and they did an incredible job. I'll attach some shots of the stationery soon.

The Black Book

Many thanks to Pentagram's Katie Repine who was kind enough to send me their latest publication - the coveted Black Book, showcasing 400 of their recent projects. Not only are the projects contained within it incredible, the book itself is delicious.

Authentic Jobs

I've recently become an affiliate of Cameron's Authentic Jobs, which is why you will notice a brand new module in the sidebar. I've had luck in the past getting freelance work via AJ, so I urge you to check it out if you are seeking either freelance or full time work.

Graphic Design: The New Basics

{ April 3, 2008 2:00 PM }

I have to say a quick thanks to Ellen Lupton, who recently sent me her new book Graphic Design: The New Basics. It's a gorgeous book and, of course, very well written. Do yourself a favor a pick this one up.
