Design Camp 2011 Preview: Jolby!

That's right, I'm on the committee for AIGA MN's Design Camp yet again... don't judge.

(Btw, registration is filling ridiculously fast, so be sure to get in on this early).

I can't even begin to say how excited I am that Jolby is speaking at Design Camp this year! I have a complete design crush on the patterns and textures that are woven throughout their work. Aaaand it all seems so FUN!

I can't wait, it's going to be a blast to have these dudes up north for the weekend...

ETSY Interview

How'd you do that?

"When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they’ve had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people."
-Steve Jobs

Design vs. Develop

Being a print designer I probably shouldn't poke too much fun at either (as they rock skills I don't have), but this was too good not to share.

Shark Week!

I haven't had cable in over a year (and not because I'm all above having 100 channels, trust me, if I could afford it, I would totally have all the channels available to man) but this graphic for Shark Week by Ty Mattson definitely caught my eye.

Ty has an amazing portfolio of work (and is one of the nicest guys to work with), so be sure to hop over and check his site out.


Update // I see Kelly over at Design Crush posted some of Ty's work today, too!

a funny, yet sad sentiment...
