Too much? (re-branding & its contagious side...
Does anyone else notice the odd conundrum of how much re-branding is taking place in this market? Where does the line draw? How does any one identity build any kind equity or personification with its audience if its just going to get reconfigured every other four or five years?
Equity, integrity and visual honestly only builds itself through the many years and trials of an identity’s...

Great piece from Wired on the Google-Verizon deal.
Google easily could have attached conditions to all Google-powered Android phones, banning carrier software that can’t be removed just as easily as any other app. (Try getting rid of Sprint’s Nascar app on the EVO — if you don’t have root, it can’t be done.). These conditions also could have banned the blocking of Android 2.2’s...

La Dispute, Touch Amore, & Envy Tour →
Oh, this is exciting. I can’t wait. These are all great hardcore bands, too bad Thursday couldn’t join them, aka of their split EP with Envy. Since it would match the other recent split EP released by the other two bands mentioned.
I’ll be attending. October 16th, Portland. I’ve been broke, well, when am I not, but I haven’t went to shows in a long time. But,...

buchino:
We’re staying tuned for more updates and details on the 136-page decision, but these two sentences from the conclusion are critical:
Proposition 8 fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license. Indeed the evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California constitution the notion that opposite sex...

Always full of visual bliss. And proud to say that one of the editors / founders is an awesome Western design alumni, oh whom I meet and would always be wondrous of his talent. You can’t seek this site without a smile beside your side. It’s almost addicting. Enjoy.

Q & A with Jason Munn of the Small Stakes →
Interview with Jason Munn
I think there are couple of interviews with him on Grain Edit, but this one is tailored about this new book, which is nothing but a showcase of his work. Which I sometimes demean the importance of show & blow design look-books, but this doesn’t fit under that category.
Many of his posters are limited edition and quickly sold out so this coffee table,...
