How Can Design Help?

Posted by Jeromy
November 25, 2009

One of my current projects is creating a book that contrasts middle-class American living with third-world life. There is a certain power in seeing two images side by side. An image of our dinner vs. their dinner. Our shoes vs. their shoes. And on and on. During my research I came across this site that [...]

Josef Müller-Brockmann and the Myth of Objectivity

Posted by Jeromy
November 19, 2009

It seems like a lot of the Modern design practitioners were rooted in their early years in illustrative design. Josef Müller-Brockmann was no exception.

TOMS: Design Making a Difference

Posted by Jeromy
November 8, 2009

Design. Can it make a difference? Can it be used to do more that propagate commercialism and corporate identity? I think it can. Design is for people, ultimately. Toms, a shoe company created to make a difference, takes this basic tenant and gives flesh to it. Not only do they design great looking shoes that [...]

Posted by Jeromy
November 7, 2009

Can I just say that I love all-things-typography? But it is so easy to lose track of your fonts once you compile 100+ of them. I have found these two tools helpful.
