Wear your inspiration on your sleeve.

DesignRanch_OpenPack

To cel­e­brate Design Ranch’s 10th anniver­sary this week­end, Brian and I made up some lit­tle good­ies for all of the Ranchers. Based on the idea, “Wear your inspi­ra­tion on your sleeve,” we cre­ated a set of pin­back but­tons inspired by both the ranch itself and this year’s incred­i­ble ses­sion leaders.

We’ve also set up a (fully respon­sive — thanks Brian!) mini site to show off the but­ton designs, reveal who inspired each one, and give Ranchers an oppor­tu­nity to share pho­tos of how they’re wear­ing their own but­tons. (By the way, this site will give you a tiny hint at the new site design which will be launch­ing soon.)

If you want some but­tons for your­self, we’re giv­ing a few full sets away, and we also have some mini sets avail­able in our shop. Take a look right here for more info.

See you in Texas!

I am cur­rently en route to Texas for Design Ranch! That means that over the next four days, post­ing will be entirely Design Ranch focused, and reg­u­lar post­ing will be sus­pended until next week. I can’t wait to show you all of the fun and cre­ative things that will be hap­pen­ing on the ranch, but for now I will leave you with a few images from Jay B. Sauceda’s (one of our Design Ranch lead­ers!) West West Texas photo series. More to come later tonight!

Designer Chris Dina has cre­ated a vibrant new print series that cel­e­brates “won­drous vari­eties of fruit” through col­or­ful, graphic illus­tra­tions. All of the prints will soon be avail­able on Chris’s Society6 shop, but for now, you can get a closer look and check out the rest of the designs right here.
