Saturday Morning Animation – Work
By Michael Rianda
David Carson on Design + Discovery
David Carson, the designer behind Ray Gun magazine, gives this interesting talk about typography and the breaking the rules when conveying a message with type and design at the TED conference. He is a pretty funny guy. What he says at the end is pretty true as well and it is something that you should ask yourself every now and then.

Dig this space saving table. Nice design.
Jet Scooter Concept Art

I know it’s not Saturday but this fits for a Monday.

Well, I don’t know what to say. It WAS an important month for sure. Life-changing even. If you don’t know about it yet there are a couple of hints in the photos about a big change over at the BPH home office.
Ampersand ID Chart from Douglas Wilson
I was bad. I bought this. I didn’t consult the wife first. I hope I am not in trouble but this is fantastic. I already own a few Douglas Wilson prints and just couldn’t resist this one. Apparently there are 110 prints but only 15 available in the US. Not sure why but there you go.
Based on the Snellen eye chart, this three-color, letterpressed poster is designed to keep your typographic eye keen on the details of everyone’s favorite conjunction.
Hand letterpressed on bright white French 100lb. cover-weight “Sweet Tooth” Pop-Tone paper. Limited-edition of 110 prints, signed by the artist.
Each print comes with an identification key that details the names and weights of all 61 ampersands.
UPDATE: Sold the fudge out at Doug’s site but you can still get it over at Keep Calm.
UPDATE#2: Sold the fudge out EVERYWHERE. Mine came in the mail the other day and it is beautiful.

Saturday Morning Animation – THE RETURN OF JOHN FRUM
I won’t pretend to know one bit of what goes on in this short but I sure do like it and it’s Aeon Flux feel. It is a trip and a half…

I kinda dig these infographic-based coins, especially the ones with the cutouts and the 2. The 25 and 50, not as much just because of the lack of practicality.

Over 40 – February 2010
Feelin’ a bit fat so I started riding my bike a bit more. Got a bunch of prints I had lying around ready for framing. Hit the snowshoe trails one day. Saw Sloan in Portland. Had a date with a cup in Eugene. (It was very romantic.) Other than that it was work, work work.
