The Urban Forest Project San Francisco

I love this banner design by Wille Ecke from Office. It is one of many from The Urban Forest Project SF.

New Stuff - Duffy - The Show

I just recently just got a couple of fresh new pieces for my office. First, I stopped over at Duffy yesterday to pick up a Nice Ride print from Mr. Alan Leusink. I was a little nervous when I showed up because I really respect this guy and all the work he's done over the years so I wanted to make a good impression. I walk in, and he has on the same green twin six shirt as me. How funny is that. Anyhow, he showed me around an I got to check out some really cool new work that they're developing right now. I love how friendly and connected the design community is here in mpls.

The other fresh piece of design that I got recently was the new Adfed Show invite. Rumor has it that Knock did it this year. Anyhow, it's a really fun concept.

Letterpressing Baby Stuff

So I went and blew most of the profit that I made from my ArtCrank sales on Matt's birth announcements. What can I say, I'm a designer. Today Maria, Matt and I went to do a press check to make sure everything was good and dandy. It was. I knew it would be, I really just wanted to go take some shots of the Nomadic Press and to scope out the joint. When I go pick them up tomorrow, I'll be sure to take some shots of the finished product to share. To learn more about Kent and Nomadic, check out this sweet interview on Design Smoke.

IBM Smarter Planet

Inspired by Paul Rand's original design vision for IBM, Office SF helped Ogilvy & Mather NY developed a visual vocabulary for the "Smarter Planet" campaign. It's been winning tons of awards, and I must say that I'm digging it big time.
