Chris, Tyler and James have made some especially interesting music here...Needless to say we're pretty impressed. Impressed enough to design and print their packaging for the maxi-single. Doll Face is best thump pump rock track we've heard in over a year.
Installed at the Belmar Lab for Art and Ideas. This was a strange project and we had designed and printed series of plates which encoded a sentence from a book on genetics, which seems altogether 'better'. However only one plate was required so. all things being equal the bag which held the plates appealed to Adam Lerner to exhibit. Belmar Lab of Art and Ideas
In preparation for the AIGA NAtional Bi-Annual Design Conference in Denver this October Rick was asked to design a page for the 14th and Broadway intersection. This was an opportunity to work in a type illustration. Think of it as a massive 'bomb' on the museum. It's a excellent addition to the Denver skyline and a marvel on a summer day. Type first, ask questions later.
Nathaniel from Born in the Flood. Has a most wonderful and private side project called the Wheel. Hard to describe except for soulful and brilliant.
I can't remember making a more beautiful modern wedding invite all seven parts are both offset and letterpress produced.
North Politics
The most interesting new political movements since
the 'Civil Rights' we designed and printed limited edition
posters which describe all four aspects of this movement.
Mission Statement
To articulate the framework for a new American vision by creating a community with power to affect the political process, and to engage members of the left and right in dialogue rather than debate through creative multi-media education to build a new alliance for sustainable and effective change.
A man of few words but many resources...Andy Bosselmann's ID is really about he continuum of the Alphabet and the co-incidence that his initials are the First two letters. Hand printed Andy's ID is transparent and accessible. And made of the most simple ingredients. Intelligence and type.
The Webbys (Oscars of the internet) chose MATTER to work the Awards, The Web, and the first ever Webby Conference in 2007 in Laguna Beach. We move the 'Dot/Dot/Dot' forward into the first showing of our custom type treatment of 'Radio_AM'. Affectionately refer to as our 'Dot Font'. Snake eyes is a good year for the folks at The Webbys.
