Scott launched his first book today with the help of The Post Family. The book is called Designing Obama and it’s a chronicle of the art from the campaign, of which Scott was the design director. Opposed to going the conventional publishing route we’ve decided to publish, promote and print it ourselves. We are funding it (in a similar manner as the campaign) through Kickstarter. The book was beautifully designed in our very own studio.

Posters by Joy Stain
Using his own beautiful landscape photography, and his love for 25 albums, designer/photographer Noa Emberson has created 25 posters of what he calls Visual Mixtapes. I love the photos and I love the design. So great.

Studio Tour #006 - Will Bryant
The beautiful man you see pictured above is Will Bryant. He is magnificent. Sam and I were lucky enough to meet Will when we were down at SXSW and we hit if off. Unfortunately, we got to his place after dark so the photos are not the most beautiful things you have ever seen but the interview makes up for it. Anyway… let’s cut to the chase. Y’all ready? I now present to you Sir William “Fancy Pants” Byant.
