I’ve been working on a small automated brand guideline maker for designers. This is really for designers working with small budgets and less time. It’s a one shot ‘good-enough’ automated tool, takes less than five mins to set up.
Looking for beta-testers, drop me a DM.
Saw a Western-centric list of graphic designers to study. So, here’s a list of Japanese designers to study as well:
Yusaku Kamekura
Ikko Tanaka
Takenobu Igarashi
Motoo Nakanishi
Kazumasa Nagai
Yasaburo Kuwayama
Shigeo Fukuda
Shin Matsunaga
Tomoko Miho
Who did I miss?
Lou Dorfsman on 25 years of looking out for CBS.
Love. love. love. A poster for a lecture on CBS by Lou Dorfsman. Art direction, design and writing by Jim Donahue.
Graphic Design Issue 17, 1964 with a special feature on the Tokyo Summer Olympic Games. Beautifully illustrated with logo variations, typography, colour palettes, pictograms and icons.
This is what the changes in the Instagram algorithm has pushed me from and to in the last year. I’m actually quite glad. Change is difficult, but it’s necessary.
Didn’t know there was a colour version of Ian Dennis & FHK Henrion’s National Theatre logo. Was this an ‘official’ colour way, or just pulled from a campaign?
If a classic logo isn’t broken, why fix it?
