For all you Apple fans out there, today is the big deal. What revolutionary, life altering gadget will Jobs release today? There’s a ton of rumors floating around on what might be announced like the MacBook Air and iTunes Movie Rentals but personally, I’m hoping there’s a lot of new iPhone announcements. Specifically new applications and an upgrade to the OS. Since the release, Apple hasn’t added anything BIG to the iPhone and I think today is going to be the day. We’ll see.

Spell It Out viaLetter

I’m in the process of decorating the nursey for my son, who will be here next month, and I picked up some letters from viaLetter to spell out his name on the wall. The letters are made out of synthetic hardcore foamboar and you can get the letters in Bauer Bodoni, Rockwell Condensed, Helvetica Neue 75 and Frankfurter. I of course picked Helvetica and I’m pretty happy with the quality of the letters but the cut can be a little better. The “I” came out a little funky. I now have to figure out the best way to stick these onto the wall. Removable double-sided tape might work just fine.

Coversourcing

I just finished designing this cover for the Coversourcing competition. If you dig it, head over to the site and vote for my design!

I wanted to do something very simple and clean but with an effective image. The image is from a larger image that I purchased from istockphoto.com, and of course, I used Helvetica and a grid system.

Coversourcing is a competition from Random House and Creative Review to design the cover of Crowdsourcing, WIRED editor Jeff Howe’s upcoming book about the new internet revolution driven by the masses.

UPDATE
Unfortunately I just found out that to be eligible, you have to be a resident of the UK or Ireland. That really blows. Not sure why they would limit the competition like this but it was still fun to design to it. Vote anyway, maybe we can change their minds.
