  • Get Your Hurricane Sandy Relief T-Shirts Here.

    November 8th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    "I Still Love NY" and "Manhattan Blackout" were designed by Sebastian Errazuriz, whose studio was paralyzed after the hurricane. Unable to work and tired of watching the horrible disaster unfold on the news, Errazuriz decided to design something to help raise much-needed relief funds. This idea occurred to him after seeing the water line marked on the walls of the flooded galleries in New York’s Chelsea art district.

    The t-shirts are available for purchase at GREY AREA. 100% of the profit goes to Hurricane Sandy relief programs.


    Here in Boston, copywriter Dylan Klymenko created 100 of these posters with pretty much the same idea as Errazuriz. They're available here.

    And you can find a list of other ways to help out here.

  • Introducing The Brooklyn Nets.

    November 8th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    The :45 film debuted on 12 in-arena screens and projected on the court before player introductions at Nets season opener on November 3, and will be shown at home games throughout the season and used in other promotional capacities.

    The Famous Group, who have worked with the Nets since 1997, developed the theme “Arrival in Brooklyn.” The film adheres to the Nets‘ iconic black & white branding. The film’s feel is reflected in the score, an original hip-hop track composed and performed by former Fugees collaborator John Forté, entitled “Brooklyn.”

    “We wanted an idea that was as big and grand as the Barclays Center, and fresh and cool as Brooklyn,” said Andrew Isaacson, executive producer, The Famous Group. “This film captures that attitude.”

    Um, Celtics, take note...?

  • New App 'Fontly' Lets You Capture, Map & Explore the World of Vintage Typography.

    November 7th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    Fontly is an iPhone, Android and web app for capturing, mapping, and exploring the world of vintage typography around us.

    The goal of Fontly is to collect and share found lettering all across the globe. To create a living, collaborative, digital archive filled with examples of unique type and signage that speak of a bygone era.

    Founded in August 2012 by Boston-based entrepreneur and designer Brendan Ciecko, Fontly aims to collect and share found lettering all across the globe. To create a living, collaborative, digital archive filled with examples of unique type and signage that speak of a bygone era. “Our users are taking photos of the world’s ghost signs, neon, architectural, foil lettering, hand-painted, and other typographical wonders. They’re helping to highlight and preserve this invaluable part of our visual heritage,” says Ciecko.

    Ciecko is obviously passionate about typography and architectural preservation. As an avid traveler, he would often photograph fading and historic signage in various cities and countries. He quickly realized that historic signs and lettering tell an important story about a city’s and community’s identity, but many are at risk of vanishing. This inspired him to develop a tool for users to document these visual aspects of our cultural heritage. With the Fontly app, Ciecko believes that everyone can play a role in preserving our collective visual history.

    So, wanna give it a try?
