Celloglas Mirri H metallic gray paper with ‘chalk white’, a
special ink for metallic surfaces that creates a strong contrast
with the holo-foil surface of the paper.

Pantone 807
October 9th, 2008Soulellis Studios has recently printed up this fall 2008 events poster for Cornell University’s College of Architecture, Art and Planning. Their work for the university is simple gorgeous and inspiring. What interests me the most is how they’ve been using the fluorescent Pantone range for most of the work. Once printed, the colors are spectacular and really bring extra life to the designs. The print in the photo above is using Pantone 807 which is a vibrant purple.
I love it. So much so that I’m going to use one of the colors for a 2009 calendar that I have in the works. So stay tuned for that.

The History of Visual Communication
October 8th, 2008Here’s an excellent site that walks you through the history of visual communication, giving you a glimpse of the different styles through-out history. My favorite section, obviously, is the Modernism section which covers the Swiss Style and includes some nice galleries of work by Max Bill, Armin Hofmann, Fridolin Mueller and Josef Müller-Brockmann.

Site Navigation
October 3rd, 2008So a few people have been contacting me, asking how to see previous posts other than the two on the homepage. The theme didn’t offer such a feature, but I found a plugin that adds “Previous” and “Next” links below the main posts. So now you can navigate back through the previous posts, two at a time.
Please let me know if you run into any issues with the new feature.
