Alex Pierce: Black In History

Designer Alex Pierce has taken on the ambi­tious chal­lenge of devel­op­ing Black In History, a site that curates the names of influ­en­tial Black Americans, “in honor, or in spite” of Black History Month (which was in February.) Alex describes the site’s pur­pose as such: “This is a site curat­ing the names of influ­en­tial Black Americans, past & present, and giv­ing them the recog­ni­tion they deserve. Because Black History is American History.” Well said.

Not only is the site well-designed and easy to browse, but it explores an impor­tant topic that I know we all could stand to learn more about. For a more insight into the site’s pur­pose, check out this fea­ture inter­view with Tumblr. It’s about time some­one took this on.

Adam&Co.: PF Flyers FW13 Catalog

Adam&Co. recently had the awe­some oppor­tu­nity to develop the PF Flyers FW13 Catalog. According to Adam, the con­cept for the cat­a­log was “based on the col­lec­tion itself: a mix of clas­sic style and util­i­tar­i­an­ism,” and it is intended to read as “a brand jour­nal, with an edi­to­ri­al­ized front sec­tion, a sea­sonal look book, and a prod­uct inven­tory.” Get a closer look right here.
