Sexy business card designed by Graham Jones with type set in Lubalin Graph. I absolutely love the thickness of that charcoal board. I think I might have to use it for my cards.

Soulellis is one of my favorite studios and they’ve just finished up a new identity and annual report for The Municipal Art Society of New York (MAS). They’ve also done some stationary as well as a website which they’ll reveal very soon.
Setting Up A Baseline Grid
Check out this excellent write up on Typophile on how to setup a flexible baseline grid in Adobe InDesign. The author has set up the grid so that every baseline is 12pts apart. This is a good setting that gives you a few leading options to choose from, but someone commented below the article that they’ve setup a 3pt system, which in my opinion works very nicely. Having a baseline every 3 pts gives you great flexibility with leading allowing you to create typography that is more dynamic.
Have a read and also join in on the discussion. I’ve commented under the name YOTS.

Nike Air Jordan IV
I pull inspiration from all sorts of things in life, not only graphic design, and one example of these inspirations is this legendary pair of sneakers, the Nike Air Jordan IV’s. Originally released in 1988, the IV’s were re-released this weekend and I picked up two pairs since no one knows when they’ll be released again, if ever.
The simple, minimal design is still perfect 20 years later, making them one of the best designed sneakers in history.
They’re pretty much sold-out but Finishline just restocked a few more sets so grabbed them before they’re gone.
