Shepley Bulfinch
We were recently asked by Shepley Bulfinch, one of the oldest architecture firms in the US, to design a 22" x 34" poster announcing their 2010 fellowship. For the design, we decided to do something with the Roman numerals 'MMX'. The poster was printed last week, and will be sent to art schools and design academies all over the US:  Dan Vlahos (from Shepley Bulfinch) just wrote a short text about the poster on the SB weblog. For his article, we sent him with some quick, early, 'back of the envelope' ballpoint-pen sketches, to provide some background information about the design process; these sketches can be seen here. |
Facebook and Barcelona
Tuesday, 02 February 2010
Some assorted news. First of all, in addition to our MySpace page, we now also have a Facebook page. Check it out, and join the group. Secondly, we'll be in Barcelona this week, to do a lecture at the MACBA; more information can be found here. And while we're on the subject of lectures; as some of you might know, we did a lecture in Dublin last year (see our previous post). On the occasion of that event, we were asked by the organizers to design a shirt, to be sold (as merch) during the conference. Shown below the shirt we came up with:  If you're interested in getting one, you should contact The Small Print, to see if they have any left. Thanks to AB for the photograph! |
Before we leave
Tuesday, 22 December 2009
We could write a couple of things. We could tell you about the lecture we recently did in Dublin ( 1, 2), and the fun times we had over there ( 3, 4). Or show you a photograph of a print we designed months ago for Shelter. We could write about the graphic identity we just completed for NAiM / Bureau Europa. Or about the graphic identity we are currently working on, for Precinct 5. Or about the t-shirt we designed for Stussy. We could remind you of the shirts that were recently reissued by Publik. But we won't do that. We just want to wish you a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year. All the best for 2010!  |
Publik T-Shirt Reissues
Between 1999 and 2008, we have designed a large amount of prints for Japanese t-shirt label 2K/Gingham. When creative director Yoshi Kawasaki left 2K/Gingham in 2008, we decided to leave with him. Since then, the shirts we created for 2K have been out-of-print. Until now.  We are very proud to announce that Yoshi Kawasaki's new label, Publik / Five Leaves, just released the first shirts in a series of reprints. For now, the following shirts have been reissued: 'John & Paul & Ringo & George' (2001), 'New Wave / Neue Welle / Nouvelle Vague' (2005), 'Cu Vi Estas Esperantisto?' (2005), 'Flag / Sabbath / Big' (2006) and 'Grow Your Hair' (2006); all these prints come in several colour combinations. For information about prices, sizes and shipping, please contact Publik (if in doubt, it's probably a good idea to order your shirt a size bigger; Japanese shirts tend to be cut quite slim). More information about the design of these prints can be found here, here and here.
