Paula Scher and her team designed this year’s AIGA annual. I can’t wait to get mine. Check out a sneak peak here.
"Clean Type is Godly Type"
I would like to introduce to you, Max Kerning. Extensis’ little creation that reminds us to keep everything neat. From taking the time to perfect letterspacing to keeping ourselves lint-free.
They’ve done a great job at getting Max out there into the social realm. You can find him on facebook and twitter and get the occasional tip on how to keep things neat.
Monsieur Qui
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.
Yulia Brodskaya
Yulia Brodskaya makes typographic illustrations and designs including what she calls Papergraphic illustrations. These are quite interesting and impressive. Have a looksee at these gorgeous examples of her fine work. 
AIGA Upstate New York re-design
AIGA Upstate New York’s got a new site design…and it seems to have a hint of MyDarndest behind it.
The quasi-new President of AIGA Upstate New York, Bill Klingensmith aka MyDarndest, has been making some impressive efforts in order to make the AIGA an outstanding resource for members in upstate. Through organizing events such as Creative Eats, where fellow creatives can hang out and chat about what’s going on and the Poster Exhibition at Abilene. He’s also been developing and writing for the blog on the AIGA Upstate site to serve as a resource for both students and professionals. So, I’ve got to give props to good ole BK for putting in some solid effort into making AIGA an even greater resource for creatives in Upstate NY.

Hilarious branding. Love it.
Coudal Partners: Jay Ryan 2003
Jay Ryan is an amazing character. I met him 2 springs ago when our AIGA RIT student group brought him in for a lecture and screenprinting demo. I have two of his posters; I love and cherish them. He is also bass of Dianogah. That’s them playing in the background. Check him out at The Bird Machine
