Obsessive Commitment to Concept

This book cover was designed by Isaac Tobin, using hand lettering by Lauren Nassef. Lettering done by hand, yes, but not drawn by hand. Pinpricks through heavy card stock was the method, perfectly illustrating the book's title. Awesome. Haven't seen the book in person, but it'd be really cool if the hand pricking was mass-duplicated on every cover so you could actually feel it. Regardless, great execution.

Bruce Mau Design at the Democratic National Convention

If you've never experienced Bruce Mau Design in some way, shape or form, I'd highly recommend checking this out. I'd also recommend the book he and the Institute Without Boundaries put together: Massive Change: A Manifesto for the Future Global Design Culture. I found the book incredibly inspiring for creative thinking in all aspects and directions.

When You Can't Choose

Let someone else choose for you.
Besides, the proceeds go to Unicef, so it's not so horrible.
