Switching Things Up – September 13th, 2008

Switch Creative is a Memphis based graphics studio sporting a fantastic identity and poster collection. I have a soft spot for posters, as I’ve said in the past. What really hooked me with Switch’s collection of posters is the non-standard sizing of their work. The Of Montreal poster, with the red maples leaves on a velvet black background look amazing. However, my favorite of the collection was the Don Caballero poster with the necktie and pinstripes.

Screen printed posters are my design weakness. I can’t help to be drawn in by them…that was one of my primary sources of interest when design was still new to me.

The Heads of State Redesign Site – August 30th, 2008

I was looking for sites that utilized the Javascript History/BackButton library SWFAddress, because the studio I work at was looking into similar solutions for a site we were working on EcoDrivingUSA. While searching I noticed that The Heads of State used it and had just released their newest web site redesign.

I’ve been a fan of The Heads of State since I saw there first entires PRINT and HOW. If you’re unfamiliar with them they’re an amazing two man studio formed by Jason Kernevich and Dustin Summers with offices in Brooklyn, NY and Seattle, WA that is probably best known for their poster work.

  • Significant performance increases (Leopard only)
  • Search across multiple files locally
  • User customizable books
  • More AppleScript support
  • Web Preview now previews local PHP files

Design Element Gallery – August 8th, 2008

This I’m definitely into. A really simple, really nice website, that has a nicely organized and growing collection of all types of web design elements.

It’s the little things make a design great
