New Meeting Sketches

I haven't been sketching much recently. But I did a couple during a long meeting the other day. They're old guys. Of course. Although more friendly that I usually draw.

Incredible Script

I came across this beautiful library of script available in PDF form on a Brazilian website called A Criação.

This is my first attempt at using Acrobat.com. Let me know if you have any trouble viewing it.

Logo Refresh Site

I recently stumbled across a very interesting site called Brand New. It shows recent updates to identities that we're all familiar with. Including Fanta, Pepsi, Michaels, etc. At first I wondered if they were just ideas submitted by generous, out of work graphic designers, but most have checked out as legit. It's worth keeping tabs on.

Preston, Idaho.

Our family recently returned from a trip to Preston Idaho to visit Mary's family. I took the opportunity to photography some of the rural typography and signage. Mary's oldest brother has a telescope with a camera adapter, which allowed some pretty stellar shots of the moon. Ouch. Pardon the pun.

A Modern Classic

I found this beauty font in the most recent copy of Eye magazine.
Just look at those ligatures, would ya?! Hmmmm...

Tilt Shift Film

I stumbled across this footage done by Keith Loutit. He has two similar pieces posted as well. It's a very cool effect achieved by a tilt shift lens. I've seen the effect used in photography before, but never in film.

We recently finished a project at work for Lensbaby. They make a selective focus lens that has a similar effect. It's a very cool product that makes authentic (non-photoshop) focus adjustments affordable. It's worth checking out.

We worked with them on branding, packaging, trade show, website and more.
