Keegan Wenkman just added an awe­some new poster to her shop — an orange and black linocut for Florance and the Machine and The Walkmen’s recent Portland show. Pick it up right here.

While we’re on the sub­ject of posters, check out this awe­some pair that DKNG cre­ated for Dave Matthews Band. I’m not a huge fan myself (though I was way back in high school), but I have to say the design is pretty awe­some. They’re cur­rently sold out so you won’t find prints in the shop, but the process video alone is worth a watch.

Check out the tem­plates that Sean Adams cre­ated for Moo’s new Luxe Business Cards: Ships Ahoy!, Sad Places, and Pattern and Colour. I’ve never used Moo myself but I’ve heard really great things.

Uppercase Magazine has launched a crowd fund­ing project that will enable them to pub­lish The Typewriter: a Graphic History of the Beloved Machine. Lend your sup­port right here.

Media Temple put together a great video pro­file of Eight Hour Day.

These are Things launched a brand new site last week. Get a glimpse into their process right here.

    […] Well if you have been fol­low­ing this blog — for even one month — you know that I love the web­sites that just scroll and scroll and scroll, and the illus­tra­tions move at dif­fer­ent speeds as you go. Apparently, thanks to the These Are Things blog, I have learned that the tech­nique is called par­al­lax. And the brand spank­ing new These Are Things site uti­lizes par­al­lax to show the vari­ety of envi­ron­ments that the stu­dio duo works in, from sell­ing their illus­trated maps to design­ing for mag­a­zines. Not only is the devel­op­ment of this site just amaz­ing, the illus­tra­tion work is so sim­ple and beau­ti­fully detailed all at the same time. You really get a feel for who the team behind These Are Things are and what inspires them. Another fun detail is watch­ing how their cats change in each scene as well. One other rea­son this site is so top notch is the process it took them to bring it to this qual­ity, what a great read! Really amaz­ing work Jen & Omar, and just since I started fol­low­ing your blog a week ago, I have learned so much! Thanks for the tip, designworklife! […]
