Urban Craft Uprising Craft Fair

See you at Urban Craft Uprising in Seattle this weekend!

Curtis Steiner: 1000 blocks project

The combination of images that can be created from 1000 identical blocks is quite vast. Here are few of my favorite that I saw on Curtis Steiner's website. These blocks are part of the SAM permanent collection. Visitors can play with the blocks and make their own images. I love everything about this project and I'm kind of mad I didn't think of it first :)


You can see an interview with talented Curtis Steiner here.

Typography love

I found these really cool envirnmental graphics in botique called Ian in seattle. I love the mix of illustration and bold type.

Seattle Library

I was in Seattle this past weekend for the first time. I had a really nice weekend and the weather was baa-u-ta-ful. The Seattle public library is an awesome example of architecture, environmental design, and graphic design all working well together.
The light streaming into the building was really nice and created a nice atmosphere for studying and reading.

This is the most unique exculator i've ever seen! The green color pop makes it easy to find and the tone on tone graphics are nice.
Simple large typography becomes a beautiful way-finding system.
The gift shop had a cool structure. Each of the shelfs rolls out along a track when it is open to create aisles.
