I’m lifting the deadline for the White House Flickr Photo Remixing Contest, as nobody entered. I’m disappointed in all of you, but it’s ok. I’ll let it slide. Not to say that the contest is going away. If you get anything ever completed (all of you out-of-work designers, I’m looking in your direction, as you [...]

I’ve realized over the previous year that I haven’t really posted many blog entries about the design I do for Flying Dog Brewery. So hopefully as I do some cool projects, I’ll be posting about them from time to time. We launched a new(ish) website last week. The short story about why it’s newish is [...]

There comes a time in every person’s life when they’re in dire need of a graphic designer. Sometimes I feel that, with the proper training, people could all be decent designers. Instead of some four-year institution where you’re really just taking a couple classes about design over a two-year period (at least, that’s how long [...]

The Coachella Music Festival seems like a great festival, with acts like Roger Waters, Portishead, Kraftwerk, Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, Jack Johnson, and more. Too bad their website is a fucking joke. Check it out for yourself. There’s no indication of the dates of the festival anywhere (except for some weird countdown to the [...]
