official introduction

TranceFamily SF has officially introduced me as their Design & Media Director! (title on my hobby). Bio below. If you don’t already, follow me on twitter if you’re interested in keeping up with other things I do with @TranceFamilySF.

I’ve been working really hard with the co-founder and technical director, Sony Jacob, to revamp the site. We’re not even close to being done at all. But there’s a before image at the bottom if you didn’t see what it looked like before I got my hands on it :)

typographic sphere

This project is so beautiful. It’s a really fascinating idea and I can’t wait to see the rest of his proposed project! Typographic Sphere by Eric Calderon, Sweden. He describes his project:
My first artist’s book.
A book as an artwork, an artwork as a book.
The brief stated that we should shape our artistic vision in the form of an artwork. This piece of art should have its origin in the book. Inspired by the arts and craft movement as well as the Bauhaus functionalism, I created my own kind of art tool. The painter has his brush, the carpenter his hammer, I have my typographic ball. This piece is the start of a much bigger project where I will build a series of typographic spheres, and use these to make books with unique prints.

The use of self-created or unconventional tools in design is a practice that ought to appear more often. The tool itself can sometimes be more interesting than the art it makes! And using unconventional tools can often create really unexpected, unique, and satisfying results. I encourage every designer to try something tactile. Get off the computer and go make things for an hour or two. I bet you’ll feel better.
