Josef Müller-Brockmann Flickr Group
January 30th, 2009I’ve been meaning to set up a Brockmann Flickr group for some time now. I’m glad someone finally put one together. It’s still very new, only 10 members, but it will grow to be an excellent pool of Brockmann’s work. Please add if you have anything.

January 29th, 2009Superb work by Germany based designer Marko Puclin. Very clean and sophisticated work style which I love. I’m digging the huge images. I think everyone should do it up big.

The Grid System Featured in Creative Review Magazine
January 28th, 2009A few weeks ago Creative Review Magazine contacted me about doing a small piece in their February issue about my site The Grid System. I just received a copy they sent me (I couldn’t find one in NYC believe it or not) and I think they did a great job with the piece. I’m deeply honored that I was asked to be included in the pages of this quality magazine and want to thank the folks over at CR for asking me to participate.
Head over to my flickr page to see more.
PS: Sorry for the terrible photos. My camera is a piece of junk and I need to replace it ASAP!

AisleOne has been Twitterfied
January 28th, 2009So I’ve finally jumped on the bandwagon and created an AisleOne Twitter page. Think of it as an extension of AisleOne. The main focus will still be design but it will extend to other areas, for instance fashion, industrial design, painting, anything that really doesn’t fit what I have going here. The AisleOne Twitter will also include some random posts on life and things of that nature. So far it’s pretty addictive. Check it out and follow me on Twitter!

Pencil Calendar
January 27th, 2009Another brilliant calendar created by Mytton Williams Design. The calendar consists of 12 pencils, one for each month and color coded to indicate the temperature. Days of the week are sharpened off. Simply, creative and useful. I love it.
You can buy a set for £12.00.

Nu 2009 Calendar
January 26th, 20092009 calendar by a small design study in Brazil called Nu. It’s screenprinted on a 0.70 mm thick polypropylene sized at A1.
In portuguese, all days of the week, except for Saturday and Sunday, are referred to by numbers. Monday is Second, Tuesday is Third, etc.
The generous guys at Nu sent me a copy of each and they’re gorgeous up close.
You can check out the black version on my Flickr page.

I Would Like to be a Pony
January 23rd, 2009Benjamin Lambinet is a 19 year old student from Paris, France who already has a ton of talent. It’s always great to find such young designers producing great work.
I also love the name of his site.

Die Neue Haas Grotesk
January 21st, 2009I found this Flickr set of the super rare Die Neue Haas Grotesk type specimen book. For those of you that don’t know, Die Neue Haas Grotesk was the original name for Helvetica. You can get a glimpse of the book in the film Helvetica when Matthew Carter shows off his copy. It was also on display at the MOMA as part of an Helvetica exhibit.
What I would do to get my hands on a copy.
