An odd coincidence that this is being posted the day Facebook goes public. Rob Sheridan designed the album art for the Social Network, and many other films you may have seen, and I’m pretty floored with how he went about it. He and Trent Reznor, one of the composers for the film, wanted to make…

This small fire lane in an apartment complex’s parking lot is where I have been finding myself spending a good bit of my time lately. It by no means looks like any place to be inspired, but it has done just that. This gravel-covered, unevenly-paved, broken-glass haven, has become my makeshift soccer field. And whether…

I’ve been drooling over the trailer for the documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi for months now. Jiro, considered to be the world’s best sushi chef, operates out of a tiny shop in the Shinjuku district in Tokyo. Although I haven’t made the journey to his restaurant yet (and I will by the way) it’s clear…

Peg Leg Sam may be the realest person many of you will ever see. The realness of the man goes much deeper than any effect that his life as a huckster and a drifter could ever have. He bears the realness of the sweltering, depressed rural south. This is a quality of authenticity that resolves…

I think we can safely assume that most graphic designers (or at least those with any interest in print) have a stash of random posters, garbage, or paper goods stashed away in their workspace.
