San-Francisco-based photographer Joey Celis produced a custom sticker for his iPhone, skinning it to look like a Leica M9. He didn’t have intention of getting these made but I could see this as a pretty hot item for hipsters. If you’re interested in making one of these I’ve uploaded large Leica M9 images for the front and back. GelaSkins will print them for you—goodluck.

It’s been a long time since this project for Marcus Eaton was first started, but its finally done. I actually just received hard copies and hope to get those up in the portfolio soon. I’m really excited to finally be able to post some of my recent work so post your thoughts in the comments.
Marcus and I have done several projects in the past and it is always a pleasure. When first talking with him on this project, the goal was that this album needed to do something different than the previous had. The music of the album was this great, new, updated sound that would really speak for itself. We both agreed that we had a chance to do something really interesting. We did just that by bringing in a lot of different elements at first and then removing them, revision after revision until it the artwork felt where it needed to be.
A large chunk of my time early on in this project was spent on trying to come up with the perfect concept. Needless to say, I didn’t arrive at it in round 1 or round 2 or 3. I came onto the final concept by trial and error mixed with experimentation. Perhaps if the earlier concepts would have been killed much sooner, the progress would have happened in a timely manner. The first concepts were far different from what the final art looked like. It also had a completely narrowed vision to it. Sometimes I wish my bad concept detector was higher for such open ended projects like this one.

I may be a little late on discovering this limited edition Helvetica moleskin, but nevertheless it’s amazing. I was immediately blown away when first seeing this this via Graham Smith’s. The combination of the Swiss mark and Helvetica has me head over heels. Hell or high water I’ll be getting my hands on one of these to sit safely on a shelf out of the reach of a pencil.

Retrofuturs is the moniker of Stephane Massa-Bidal. Stephane is a French illustrator that aims to combine the past, present and future into each piece. This particular series uses Helvetica majorly masked by objects that have been removed from photographs. The series’ aesthetic is similar to Mark Weaver’s while at the same time carrying its own.
I’d really like to know where the images came from. I would guess that they were used from a public domain archive or creative commons. The quality and compositions are these images are quite amazing.
Update: AC via the comments, has provided this link to images similar to the ones used in Stephane’s work.

Corona y P. Amaral Arquitectos designed this house at the edge of a cliff so that the view over the water would be entirely fulfilling. The house is located on the north coat of the Canary Islands (Tenerife) in Spain. As if the view and pool weren’t enough, the house also has a basement gym that also has outward views.
The interior and exterior of the house use really nice mixup of wood to concrete. I’ve always felt that that combination almost always gives a house more personality.

Stumbled across these really clean Star Trek posters by Mondo that I really enjoyed. The type is nicely set and the colors sing. The posters were available for a while in 18×24″ screen prints but I don’t believe they are anymore.

Launchlist is a website built to check websites that you’re working on against a series of questions pre- launch to make sure you haven’t forgotten anything. This is the perfect tool for freelancers.
I know that on my next web project I’ll be using this. Although you really should send someone the url to your project link and have them check things off. That way you’re not checking things off that you’ll “do later” or “will get to eventually”. If you feel the need to add more questions, you can customize that at the bottom.

The Stuyvesants is a collaborative effort between music producer Allan Cole (Algorythm), and record collector Darien Victor Birks (Flwrpt). Both residents of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, NY. The two wanted to work together on a project where they could incorporate several of their talents in music and design. The name Stuyvesants became their moniker of which they collaborated on four major things: design, beat dig, produce amazing music, and most importantly just having fun.
Fortunately for us, their full album is free! It includes 25 hoppin’ tracks that will make you want to turn up that volume.
