Halloween is here, it's one of the best times of the year. Rhyme much? Just to celebrate Halloween, we have gone dark! Black, grey, and orange. Have a happy and safe Halloween.

It's been long talked about, and we finally did it. We used the modular color layout we initially developed. Enjoy the newly (#9EB8A8) Hell Yeah Dude and Collection.

The fight for original material

Oct 19, 2009 As Graphic Artists, our daily job and requirement is to clearly communicate (through imagery) the emotion, representation, and goals of the businesses that we create for. If Graphic Artistry is your job, you may know through experience that successful work is not just creating original artwork, but capturing and excelling the clients accumulative brand. Early stage Graphic Artists seek to create original artwork first, and find a way to make it work for the client second.

Things I Have Learned In My Life So FarStefan Sagmeister Feb 1, 2008 • • • •

The Lingual Proposition

Mar 19, 2009 Have you ever gotten caught up in using the same words to describe a design? Well don't, there are plenty of other really great words in the dictionary that can describe a design, style, mood, or feeling much better than your classic "minimal, simple, or great." In an effort to help young designers, old designers, and people of all ages, I give you The Lingual Proposition. Twenty seven choices of words to describe a design better than the ones you use now.
