The Feedback Loop
Long nourished by the design and print community, Mohawk is pleased to share a project that allows us to give back by using our beautiful new Loop paper as a catalyst for change. The Design Ignites Change Notebook Project will allow 25 letterpress designer/printers to combine their creativity and production skills with our paper and selling platform to generate a significant donation to a worthy cause. Furthermore >Indian movie posters exemplify the power of pop culture to Kayleigh Ryley
[Tom Biederbeck] They’re undeniably tacky, hastily drawn and cheaply printed on newsprint. They can also be emotionally raw, vividly expressionistic and visually memorable. It’s not difficult to figure out the appeal of the Indian movie posters that have captured the imagination of designer Kayleigh Ryley. Here she talks about how and why she became fascinated by these evanescent exemplars of Indian popular culture. Furthermore >Thai business card is a model-maker’s dream
Business cards in unusual configurations have a long history. In an engaging twist, agency CreativeJuice/Bangkok (TBWA) has turned a business card into a model-maker’s dream for high-end Japanese kit maker Tamiya. The Tamiya business card is given to prospective customers of the Tamiya Siam Thailand retail shop; the card’s ingenious design ensures it goes directly into the pleasure circuits in model enthusiasts’ brains. Furthermore >Summer Stationery
Turns out our latest contributor, Mieke ten Have, not only has an affinity for beautiful wallpaper, but also for collectible paper goods. Her collection at Felt & Wire Shop shows her appreciation for all things printed. Here’s what she has to say about her collection: Furthermore >Janet Odgis thinx of many ways to send thanx
[Alyson Kuhn] I could not pass by a booth at the National Stationery Show with the name ManyThanx. I have long spelled snax with an x, and I occasionally sign my thank-you notes thanxoxox — so I was eager to see what ManyThanx ’xtolled. Furthermore >The Story of Graphic Design
This review begins with a disclaimer. Though I have a lot of design books, I haven’t actually read very many of them. Patrick Cramsie’s Story of Graphic Design, published by Abrams, is different. It’s a compelling narrative that treats design with all the seriousness of art history and, like great art history, manages to weave a historical narrative through the lens of Graphic Design.
