A creative dumping ground for issues that interest me personally and professionally, with the thought they may interest you too. Issues such as the business of design, the design of business, the design of objects, design strategy, creative direction, innovation, creativity, thought leadership, observations, as well as recommendations, mid-century modern decorative arts and architecture, and the state of my thinking (and currently the state of my heart).
Paul Rand and Steve Jobs worked together in 1993 on the NEXT logo for Jobs new company. This is an interview with Steve Jobs about the process and about working with Paul Rand.

Blacksmith, Newsboy, Shoe-shiner, Letter-smasher, and fellow Rural Illinois designer and letterpress printer extroirdinare Kent Henderson of Depression Press knocks 'em out of the park in so many ways. While I generally avoid politics on BarryBlog, I cannot help but to share his Pop-politics Flickr set. His Print-Shop set is equally awesome. As is his typecase set. But perhaps the most impressive images are the ones of his workshop. Every designer's dream. A barn out back. Loaded with lead. Ready to roll. Bravo Kent. I hope to own one of his letterpress posters soon. After the adoption.
(I can hear my friends laugh now. There will be no money after the adoption. Yeah I know.)
Almost forgot. Check out his creative direction website here, and his print shop here.

Brian T. Moore is a serious talent. His book design is second to none, and his print work is also impressive. He is a high level design thinker. I'm blown away by the breadth of his talent. He's currently a designer at Houghton Mifflin, and they're fortunate to have him aboard. I highly recommend checking our Brian's work. He can also be found via his design:related profile.

Canadians Ryan Toyota and wife Jenn are developing prayer and financial support so he can work full-time for the organization Hungry For Life. He's developed a nice site so you can find out more this organization, learn more about Ryan himself and how God lead him in this mission, view some of the videos he's created, find out how you can partner with he and Jenn, and how to contact him if you have questions.
You never know how or through who the Spirit moves, so if you feel led, give him a shout out. His site is really inspired.
