Ira Glass = Red Bull
If you cannot see the above video, it is on youtube as “Ira Glass on Storytelling”.
My favorite quote (we all knew this was coming) from Ira is: “The work you’re making will be as good as your ambitions.” (Read More)
Athletes Serve Interview
I recently completed work for Athletes* Serve, a program to highlight gamechangers in local communities that are kicking some major, volunteering ass. Nike has posted a video of one group’s story on their site. Click above and check it out!

Calligraphy 101
Great film for the letter enthusiasts… and child psychologists.
Thanks to Kevin Sweeney for sharing this video!
Facebook Font Application
So we all know these Facebook applications aren’t created by renowned typographers, so you have to take it all with a grain of salt. I found this feedback on one called, “What Font Are You?”. You’ve gotta love how you can always count on hefty backlash when it comes to design opinion. Sharlene got her tator irked for sure, Randy’s comment is award-winning, and Vannesa- well I think your co-workers love you for the wrong reasons judging by your profile picture.

Horses & Bierut & Ingenius Identity Systems, Oh My!
First off, I’m in heaven. With the recent vometerium of newly bland product ‘refreshments’ (word pun intentional), I am completely overjoyed to see that my absolute obsession has finally gotten the design attention it deserves, by none other than my other obsession, Pentagram… (Read More)

Sure, there is likely a good dose of makeup and photoshopping, but that superficiality doesn’t seem to affect the overall message of an Obama that is ‘For the People’.
Obama Campaign: Logo Design
I am very excited about this short explanatory film. It is one I hope many get to see, both inside and outside of the design world, because I think it shows what an epic role graphic design played in something bigger than we’d ever imagined. It brings about a great understanding of the powerfulness and importance of our field. (Part 2 below).
Mekanism
A great firm, with great projects. Hilarious menu videos.
Clearification may be my favorite; As much as I’d hate to promote Windows, the Vista campaign (with episodes starring comedian Demetri Martin) is quite entertaining. If Microsoft’s goal was to attract us young, doodling, sarcastic, dry-humored youngens, well you’ve got my attention ( but sorry- not my money!) Regardless, I’m grateful to have them give their money for this firm to have some fun…
