Design Work Life: Cataloging Inspiration Daily

Designer and illus­tra­tor Frank Chimero came up the other day in my Old School post. And I didn’t want to for­get to men­tion another recent project of his I came across: Silhouettes.

Silhouettes is a book he cre­ated as an exper­i­ment to com­pare his sil­hou­ette to those of var­i­ous famous peo­ple, in the end real­iz­ing, “Oh geez, all these guys are geniuses. I’m just an idiot.” What resulted is a really fun book that’s both witty and beau­ti­fully designed.

Before leav­ing his site, also make sure to take a look at his ongo­ing States series — another fun project — and all of the won­der­ful things he has avail­able in his shop.
