I’ve been meaning to post about this for a month now and finally got around to doing it.

Experimental Jetset recently designed this lovely poster, for architecture firm Shepley Bulfinch, announcing their 2010 fellowship. The design is based on the Roman numerals ‘MMX’ represented with geometric forms that relate back architecture. A brilliant piece.

You can read more about the design process on Shepley Bulfinch’s blog and get a peak at an early sketch EJ did for the poster. It’s always interesting to see how a design evolves from a sketch to the final piece.

In celebration of their 10th anniversary, Method has released the 10×10 series, which will focus on game changing topics that will
fundamentally impact today’s brands and their search for new revenue streams. The series includes essays, salons, and speaking engagements by industry leaders.

The first issue of the series, “Cable’s Lost Generation“, takes a look at the future of television and digital communications. A downloadable PDF of this issue is available on the site.

When my boss dropped a copy of the first issue on my desk a few weeks ago and I was immediately impressed by the stunning design. Well done in my book, but coming from Method, it’s expected.        

Thinking for a Living Relaunches

A new and improved site for Thinking for a Living has launched! The site, in my opinion, is at the forefront of interactive design. It’s a great example of why Flash isn’t the only means of creating a dynamic interactive experience.

The site was designed by BBDK and Frank Chimero and built by Jedi Knight Ian Coyle. It features keyboard navigation, a fine grid, and a ton of original and inspirational content.

I’m super excited and proud to be a part of this fine network of people and sites. TFAL is a must read for any creative type.
