Lean, Green Profit Machine

Sustainability isn’t just sort of a glamorous process of using recycled materials to design something that may or may not be the color green. It’s about redesigning every single aspect of a company’s process, from sourcing materials to designing to production to shipping, and then eventually designing a way for those products to be disposed of responsibly. That’s a mammoth task, so it’s no wonder that designers and manufacturers are finding it so difficult.

Type Specimens

I’ve been working on a few typefaces in my spare time (which there’s plenty of when you’re on summer break and not working), so I decided to create these specimens to put them on display. The print version is much cleaner.

Design Matters poster by Marian Bantjes

Marian Bantjes was asked to design a poster/self-mailer promoting a series of live interviews for Debbie Millman’s internet radio show “Design Matters.” I’m a huge fan of both the show and of Bantjes, and the poster is equally inspiring!

Go here for more of Marian Bantjes’s [typo]graphic art.

Also, download the free Design Matters podcasts at Itunes, or listen to a few of Debbie Millman’s best shows on the website.

Get Out the Vote 2008 posters

AIGA, the professional association for design, invited designers from across the US to create nonpartisan posters that inspire the American public to participate in the electoral process and vote for a presidential candidate in the 2008 general election. Top submissions will be professionally printed and distributed nationally in August.

As posters should do, these caught my attention:

Use your cell phone to find parking in SF

Living in a city like San Francisco where the positives of public transportation out-weigh the negatives, it isn’t necessary to have a car. Considering how much gas has shot up in recent years, it’s a blessing not to rely on a car to get around the city.

The main reason I left behind my car when I moved up here two years ago was this: PARKING IS A BITCH!

However, for those with cars who still choose to do laps around the block in search of parking, there’s hope:
