More great designspiration from Experimental Jetset. Check out what they have to say about these pieces and more of their amazing work at their website.
Between 1995 and 1999, we designed various posters and flyers for Paradiso, Amsterdam’s premier rock venue. Paradiso plays an important role in the recent history of Amsterdam, and in Dutch counter- and rock-culture in general, so it is a real honour to have been involved with this place. It also has a rich history of graphic design (Martin Kaye’s amazing concert posters, to name one example), so we’re proud to stand in that tradition.
More after the jump.

With absolutely beautiful typography and imagery you can’t go wrong here. Introducing to you four outstanding mixes by Brian Gossett. The best part about these is that they’re literally heist related tunes from heist scenes in random movies.

The latest and first piece showcased is a proposed booklet for Pantone. This book is aimed at the mid-level designer looking to learn more about using and understanding the Pantone Matching System. The book was done as a project for an electronic print production class and has no relation with Pantone except of course for the information regarding the use of Pantones.
The most interesting part of building this book was learning about all of the different guide systems and how the numbering system works. I believe this book would be a great tool for designers trying to expand their knowledge on using the Pantone systems.

After nearly a full year of not having a portfolio online, I’ve finally gathered my new work and put it in an all new website. It’s been quite a journey to get it online but its here.
Let me highlight a few of the new areas, but it easily speaks for itself:
Work: The new portfolio has four sections; print, branding, interactive and personal. The print section will be the container for packaging and any printed material. Next up is the branding section–my favorite. You will find both identity specific projects and full brand development projects here. The interactive section is pretty straight forward; web projects will be in this category (hopefully live websites soon). Lastly the personal section. All of my personal posters, t-shirts and odds & ends will be here.
Contact: Send messages! I’m currently available for freelance and would love to hear from you.
Labs: This will have…well…experiments. Some great specimens (ideas) are brewing.
Every section of the website is expandable and I will continually add to them. Each time a new piece is added, I will be showcasing it on the front page. For any of you feed readers, you may just have to join us all at ground level to view the images.
Feedback is welcomed! The more the merrier.

If you’re a photographer, then chances are you’re wishing you had a new camera to play with. Yeah sure, your current one is just fine, but you want the next camera with that sleek new special gadget.
I think I may have found ten cameras that will solve your wants forever. Sure they are a little strange, but these cameras will produce such interesting results that you can’t go wrong. The only problem is that they’re limited in quantity, so getting your hands on them will be tough.

Talk about amazing design–these pieces are incredible. I’m definitely a fan of Experimental Jetset’s work and their process which is explained on their website. They are a small, independent design studio based in Amsterdam.

As creatives–or any positions really–we see this so-typical, unmanaged, client relationship that results in completely ridiculous requests. Time and time again we are pushed to actually fulfill them. If you do, then more often than not the work that you’ve done falls into the category of “Who’s designing this, the Client or Creative” and if you don’t fulfill the ridiculous requests you’ve just stepped into the ring for the power struggle. This is where we need to check ourselves and make sure we’re managing the relationship effectively from the get go.
Managing the relationship can be as simple as outlining in the very beginning what the scope of the project is and building the client’s confidence in you. Outline what each side is to expect of the other so you don’t hit road blocks mid-project.
Does this sound familiar? Keep reading after the jump.
