Lubalin Now
Mike Essl asked us to contribute a few things to a show he put together. Looks like a lot of good work/good people:
The inaugural exhibition in the newly re-located Herb Lubalin Study Center of Design and Typography. Herb Lubalin (1918–1981) is best known for his wildly illustrative typography and his groundbreaking work for the magazines Avant Garde, Eros, and Fact.
On view in Cooper Union’s new gallery, the installation includes recent posters, publications, and motion graphics by internationally recognized graphic designers that spotlight an emerging trend toward expressive lettering and typography.
Original sketches, magazines, logotypes, and posters selected from the Lubalin Center Archive will illuminate Lubalin’s influence on contemporary graphic design.
FEATURED ARTISTS: Marian Bantjes / Deanne Cheuk / The CW Network In-house department / Ariel Di Lisio / Marcus Eriksson / Oded Ezer / GrandArmy / Gretel / Jessica / Hische / HunterGatherer / Justin Thomas Kay / Like Minded Studio / Brett MacFadden / Christopher Martinez / Non-Format / Matt Owens / Post Typography / Roberto Quiñones / Strange Attractors Design / Alex Trochut / TV Land / Rick Valicenti / and Herb Lubalin

Pi Art: Revenge of the Nerds
This actually came out a last month, but just posting it now. Wired Magazine needed an illustration for an article about creating a more nerd-friendly culture in high schools. Brain over brawn. You can read the article here.

Million Trees
We completed a campaign for Million Trees NYC which—like the GreeNYC campaign—is part of PlaNYC, the city’s long-term environmental initiative. The campaign encourages New Yorkers to get involved in the planting and maintaining of trees. Various versions of the campaign are running around the city in the subway, buses, outdoor, etc.
