House X Plinc X Plog
Fucking mad beautiful xit a.k.a.(or in their own words) “you can’t feel a tweet’s texture, smell a Facebook friend request, sustain a self cauterizing paper cut through a Google-plus post or enjoy the recalibrative effects of natural light as it bounces off rough-cut traps to make a lithographic link to your heart which knows better than your brain that something tangible smells like fresh ink without the stench of easy internet money. In a sea of scrolling pixels and recycle bin-binned CMYK far east printed dime a dozen hardcover duhsign books, we’ll send you 96 pulpy pages without regretsy-purchase angst for the cost of proffering information which undoubtedly has been promulgated throughout the internets anyway.”
Also, check their Plog (Blog) and the incredible Plinc Photo-Lettering app, where you can preview your logos, headlines or text font, in the irremarkable style of the House Industries crew of talented peeps.
Just wish i could stop posting their work. Enjoy!
Audrée Lapierre X FFunction Nutrition Facts Packaging
A FFunction self-initiated project, Audrée Lapierre’s Nutrition Facts Packaging asks more than a couple of fundamental questions about the role of brands and designers on education and honest information. The nutritional facts are used to brand the packaging as well as giving useful informations about the product. The data visualisations offer a clean graphic approach of the caloric ratio, nutrient balance completeness, ingredients and their specific amount of carbohydrate, fat, protein and sodium per serving.

House Industries X Freshjive X Reserve
An amazing collab between my favorite font foundry and my favorite Street Wear clique, introducing a new collaboration between House Industries, Freshjive, and the Reserve store, only available at Reserve. The “Type Nerd” t-shirt and the Ampersand tote bag in 2 prints. These items coincide with last week’s House exhibit at the Reserve store, which coincided with the annual TYPECON convention in Los Angeles.
Seb Lester’s Emer Swift Decals
Graphic designer and BMX rider and enthusiast Johann Chan approached Seb Lester to create the graphics for a bike frame he’s designed for bike company Emer Bicycles – the Emer Swift. Of the commission, Lester explains: “I was contacted earlier this year about designing the graphics for a new BMX frame, designed by Emer Bicycles. BMX was a big part of my life for the best part of ten years, and I still follow the scene, so I was really pleased to help out.
It seemed like a strong idea to make the letters out of the swooping flight path of a Swift with the inline treatment accentuating movement as well. The lettering style developed is a very modern, cursive, flourished script. Emer wanted the logo to look strong and robust, like the frame, so it’s got a solidly constructed feel to it without looking clunky.
“The logo took shape quickly,” Lester continues. “I always start with very loose spontaneous pen and paper sketches as it’s the quickest way to get ideas down. Once roughs were approved (some of his sketches shown below) I went about drawing the vector outlines. I’m pleased with the results. Emer seem to be too – they’ve produced a small run of tshirts, screen printed with the logo in a metallic gold ink, which look excellent.”
