My Favorite Things: Futura
This is the first entry in a new string of blog entries featuring some of my favorite things (like raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens). Up first, my favorite typeface: Futura. As a designer it’s a tough call for me to come up with a favorite font – I like so many. I could [...]
Cola Aisle Revisited
It’s been a few months since my original assessment of the new Pepsi logo and the associated packaging. Now that I’ve had a chance to see it in action more and taste the whole campaign I actually find myself liking it more. While on it’s own the logo seemed a bit weak and ineffective, but [...]

Nothing flashy, pretty much in line with the real estate kind of stuff I’ve been immersed in my whole career. Check out a couple of screengrabs on Flickr if you’re [...]
New Work: GuestReel
A recently completed Mac application icon for GuestReel by Burn37. GuestReel is a new program that lets you capture video and text messages from guests attending your special events.
