A while back I had the privilege of working with Kelly at Play on a pretty fun project. It’s a 90+ workbook that accompanied a presentation that Play gave to GE, titled “Think differently. Behave differently. Lead differently.”

As stoked as I am with the way our book came out, I’m just as proud of how quickly we got it all done. The time from my first meeting with Play to delivery of the printed books was less than 2 weeks.

Play is an awesome company with some of the coolest folks. They treated me like I’d been working there for years and I can’t thank them enough. Also, I want give props to Easley Johnson and James River Press for being super accommodating and delivering a great print job.

I was recently contacted by Bill over at Inform Magazine asking if I’d contribute to the Design Dialogue feature where local designers weigh in on a series of questions related to their craft. This particular Design Dialogue focused mostly on web design.

Along with Copeland Casati, we offered insight on making information relevant to both intended and unintended audiences, what the relationship between data points and information means to a site’s design, and more. Pick up a copy, or maybe back order one. This post is pretty overdue, so there’s probably a new issue out. My bad.

I recently wrapped up a project with the good dudes at PharrOut to redesign the web site of local politician Chris Peace.

It was probably one of the easiest and smoothest site designs I’ve done, and everybody seems stoked with the way it turned out, including me.

The 903 Logo has been included in a couple of blog posts lately that focus on how logo designers brand themselves.

I really think that designing for yourself is one of the toughest things any serious designer can do, and there’s obviously added pressure when working on your own brand. So I always find it interesting to see how other designers solve this creative problem.
