New EP Design Proves There is Fire On The Moon.
We recently worked with the Minneapolis band Fire On the Moon on their new EP design. The stark black and white photography of Darin Back worked seamlessly with the feel the band was after. We went through a few different treatments before ending up with the image you see above (check out the process photo’s…
Read MoreNew Year = New Location! …and a New(ish) Name.
Whew! The last several weeks of 2010 were NUTS for us: We packed up the studio at its previous location (four years worth!) and with the help of some great friends (who enjoyed free pizza and beer after!), we moved into our new digs. We will be posting more about the great location soon (and…
Read MoreJeff Tweedy Has Landed On The Hudson
It was a fleeting idea. Jeff Tweedy’s management needed a limited edition screen printed poster for his Tarrytown, NY sold out solo show. The city of Tarrytown is on the Hudson River, site of the infamous “Hudson Miracle” jet landing. The sketch was done and sent to the client – we waited to see the reaction……
Read MoreNew Band Logo Designs
We were recently asked to help this new band with their identity development and to help capture the “feel” of the band and their music. The only specific directive from the band was that we not use ANY imagery of flowers or an actual magnolia. US: “Right, ok, roger dodger, NO magnolias in the design,…

Size is…

Read MoreDesign of Alison Scott’s latest CD release!
We really enjoyed working with Alison Scott and Kevin Bowe on Alison’s latest CD release “Chinese Whispers”. Designed around the great black and white portraits captured by the very talented Darin Back out of Mineapolis, MN. The initial concept was to emulate the look of Chinese restaurant paper menus, it grew from there, with the…
Read MoreOld Crime Fiction Novel Cover Designs
We recently came across some classic old crime fiction novels (covers donated by Gary Applegary) and had to share our love for these sorts of things. Most are from the early to late 1960’s with a variety of graphic designers given credit. Look at the great composition on “Slack Tide”. Pure visual sweetness. The art…
Read MoreA Day At The Printer.
Mmm, smell that? That’s ink and paper. We recently did a “Press Check” at one of our favorite printers for a client’s capabilities brochure and thought it would be cool (and very “print-nerdery” of us) to post some photos from the day. We love printing in all its forms and this traditional 4 color press…
