Occupy! Cover Design by Kelli Anderson

Dec. 15 / 11

This beautify designed book cover belongs to an equally interesting book. I haven’t read it, so I’ll not say much about it. But I did want to bring to your attention the incredible detail that went in to this design, particularly the subtle imagery of protesters cleverly masked inside of the typography. It’s edgy and smart, and Kelli Anderson deserves a pat on the back.

For more information on the book, be sure to check out the Verso website. It’s also currently on sale for $8 at Amazon.

And that’s that.

Sonoran: not really the next Helvetica

Apr. 22 / 11

I don’t know if anyone was paying attention, but idsgn had a fun little April fools joke for us this year. It was a slick new font family; Sonoran, and was going to replace Helvetica as the go-to hipster font. Obviously, this was not true (duh, no font can be more hipster than Helvetica).

 

But I love font family sample graphics. I think they’re sexy. So even though this is actually Arial, it’s still awesome.
