Jason Santa Maria

It's been a few days since my last post, sorry. Super busy gearing up for the Germany trip. I've been meaning to post a blog about Jason Santa Maria's work for a while. I love the simplicity of his layout. Enjoy.

Our Type, is a fine type.

Alright, today has been intense to say the least. I've managed to change ALL of my websites over to a new web host, as well as change the domains and other house cleaning items. Along the way I manage to delete my portfolio website, arg. Thus I had to re-create all the text content on my site. Alright enough about work, work, work. While I was cleaning out old emails, I stumbled across Our Type, and amazing type studio in Europe. If the typography doesn't amaze you, the Flash based site sure as hell will. I'm glad I came across these guys again. Enjoy.

Good. Clean. Lit. Series

I'm starting a blog series title "Good. Clean. Lit." I hope to present some inspirational design literature, that can be downloaded as PDF. I've begun creating a personal resource folder that contains these files. The first PDF in the series is from AREA 17, a studio based in NYC and Paris. This booklet puts geometric shapes and Avant Garde to good use. PDF file can be downloaded here. Enjoy.

Destructed Magazine

Destructed is a pdf quaterly magazine, it allows artists to design based around a central topic. 

"The purpose of destructed is to enable the interplay of all participants of the Destructed project, to make available a place for interaction.Participants are not exclusively banded together by the actual output, or act, rather remain in a continuous state of collaboration. Destructed is a doorway designed to get away from it all. It serves our desire to seek, let take part in and unite friends and others who take pleasure in the creative process It is a non-profit platform to showcase works of artists with attitude an dedication." -Destructed Bio

Experimenta NZ

I've probably ranted and raved about this studio from New Zealand before, but I thought it was worth mentioning that they updated the work on their website. I really like what they do, keeping the projects very clean and in order. Now if there was only a way to get an A4 poster from them without paying an arm and a leg to ship it. Cheers.

IKEA 2009

Sweet! I got an email about the new IKEA catalog. I'm loving a lot of the new products they are offering. I hope to the print copy in the mail, I'm never disappointed with the layout. Cheers.
