Michael Bierut Talks Clients

2010/01 Michael Bierut from CreativeMornings on Vimeo.

In January, Michael Bierut was invited to speak at SwissMiss’ Creative Mornings. His insight on the issue of “clients” is a must see for any working designer. It’s an hour long, but well worth your time.

Thanks Tushar, for sharing

Nick Dewar

I was very sad to read that illustrator Nick Dewar has passed away. He was an illustrator that I admired. When organizing The Shatner Show in 2007, I had list of dream participants and I was delighted that someone as talented, busy and well-known as Nick accepted our invitation with such enthusiasm. His humourous silkscreened poster was one of the most popular images of the exhibition. I’m honoured that I had the chance to exhibit his work.

My condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

I’m a HUGE Rifle Paper co. fan…I think I saw Anna Bond’s amazing designs for the first time over at ‘a cup of Jo‘ and ever since I keep coming back to see what she is been up to … above is the perfect Valentine’s card and below are some cards I just want to frame…

Rifleflowers

…and I’m sure you have already seen this great tutorials or DIY project from Anna last year, but reminding you again would probably not hurt you 🙂 … the menu-wheel over at Design*sponge …and the pompom vines over at Once Wed

…and I’m seriously considering ordering a set of calling cards with a Custom illustrated portrait set of myself by Anna Bond!
