Christoph Niemann: I LEGO NY

Branding, Graphic Design

Christoph Niemann is a brilliant illustrator. His work is always so clever that it often sparks jealousy among creatives alike. This work especially reminds me of the beauty of a child’s mind and the ability to see beyond the limits of wordly relationships. Play allows us to find new and multiple meaning in the abstract. Enjoy.

4v2: For vs. To

Marketing

Share this post

In the video from the post below, Seth Godin mentions the idea of “For vs. To” in that the people making a difference are the ones doing things for their audience rather than marketers doing things to them. I simply want to enforce this idea and express that this is exactly the reason this blog exists. I want it to serve as a resource for anybody with a love of type, good ideas, design, marketing, and/or culture. Rather than monetizing against something like this, I would much rather know that I am serving as a benefit to others and perhaps provide a platform in which people with similar viewpoints can connect. Therefore, if you are one of these people (or even if you’re not), I’d love to hear from you. Leave a comment and let me know what you think. Also, I will gladly answer any emails at [email protected].

Best,
Paul Stonier

I just heard about this Parisian Illustrator from cakeface.
I’m extremely impressed by the beauty, complexity and sophistication of this artist’s work. The integration of type with form and models feels extremely organic.

Armin Vit, the internet blogging guru and birthday boy, pointed this link out on the most recent post of the SpeakUp forums.

It’s pretty self explanatory, so I’ll just let you enjoy these great attempts at creating letterforms with Halo players.

It’s a strange sense of humor that spreads among people. Luckily corporate America hasn’t figured out how to take advantage of this yet. The closest has to be either Geico with the cavemen or apple with the PC vs Mac ads.

Thanks to If Its Hip Its Here for bringing this to my attention.

Strangely enough, the latest episode of South Park was exactly about this.

If you don’t know about FFFFOUND! yet, then shame on you. Prepare yourself for salvation, for FFFFOUND!’s massive gamut of images allow for instant inspiration. I can’t go on there for more than 5 minutes without getting a sweet idea.
