The work by Netherlands based Almost Modern simply blows me away. I love how simple and minimal the work is but at the same time it’s just beautiful.

Year Of The Sheep

A few weeks ago I finished refreshing my personal site, Year of the Sheep. I’m getting a little tired with Flash, especially when it comes to updating, so this time around I used Indexhibit. Indexhibit is a web application used to build and maintain an archetypal, invisible website format that combines text, image, movie and sound. I personally love it. It’s easy as hell to use and update and the CSS is very flexible. Oh and it’s free. Definitely check it out.

And for those wondering, I picked the name cause I was born in 1979, the year of the sheep in the Chinese zodiac.

Beautiful invitation/poster for the curatorial collective Lost & Found. Designed by Timo Hofmeijer and Ian Brown. I love how the words are staggered.

A few months ago I wrote a short article on grids which I titled “Grids Are Good For the Soul”. I fell in love with the title and ended up designing this poster around it.

Grids Are Good For The Soul is screen printed by hand by Post Expose, which contains a quote by the legendary Josef Müller-Brockmann, is printed in sky blue on 80lb cream colored paper. This goes without saying, but it was also designed on a grid system.
